Carolyn Kramer as Patsy Cline

I first saw Beverly D'Angelo portray Patsy Cline on Cole Miner's Daughter when I was 7 years old. Upon listening to Patsy Cline's record, I immediately fell in love with her beautiful, rich tone. I would serenade the neighbor kids with "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces." My mother is just a bit younger than Patsy Cline and taught me to sing and harmonize at a young age so I believe I gravitated to Patsy Cline quite naturally.
I began singing in choirs in middle school then in high school as well as competing in classical solo competitions. I went on to study as an opera singer at Florida State University and hold a bachelor's degree in voice performace. Though I'm classically trained, my niche is pop/country music. Ironically, I have a contralto voice similar to the quality of Patsy Cline's. She has been a huge inspiration to my singing throughout the years. There will never be another Patsy Cline. Her voice remains in a league of it's own.
