Hi Bambie dear,
You can make that happen to Anzu kasi nadedevelop naman ang boses. Habang bata pa siya ay ienroll mo siya sa isang voice teacher na magtuturo at magdedevelop nang kanyang singing ability. Sa singing, practice makes perfect. Thanks for your visit and comments. God bless you all always.
