Album Notes

Meredith Ryan Packer was signed by EPI Records after a talent scout heard her sing in church at age seven. Her vocal and performance training was turned over to Dr. Dean FH Macy of New England Talent who worked with her for five years preparing her for her March 15th 1997 debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

"Meredith's qualities of voice are consonant with perfect pitch, exquisite range and profound dynamic presence. This diminuitive performer underwent intensive training via Dean FH Macy of Epilogue Records, who works with Meredith on her personal technique, on vowel expression and all the countless attributes which takes equisite potential and guides it into something magnificent. Clearly, Meredith's unquenchable motivation to practice is rarely paralleled. As if she were attempting to make the final cut on a world class Olympic team, she can not be slowed. She is focused. She is driven. She is a runaway locomotive that is going to far away places in a very short time." (Excerpted from a Times Entertainment Magazine review.)

"13 year old Meredith Ryan Packer performed at Carnegie Hall in New York after which she was drowned in roses and bouquets. Rarely is a writer at a loss for superlatives when describing a young performer... mostly because the child perfomer is innately charming. An author's charmed heart usually does all the work for him by magically taking control of his hand and pulling pen over paper, much as a horse following after a carrot on a stick draws a carraige. But here, after many attempts to describe Meredith's exquisite vocal presence in her singing, it is clear that composing a proper description pushes the boundaries of the written word. The heart is fully supportive, but the English language may be lacking."

"Great? Wonderful? Magnificent? Heavenly? Suffice it to say that her vocal range is exquisitely wide, the tonal quality to her voice is lovely almost beyond compare (actually it is easily comparable to at least one other great performer, the renowned 14 year old highly-acclaimed super-suprano Charlotte Church...but this reporter clearly prefers Meredith's voice, because it hasn't yet lost those wonderful and fleeting tones which are mindful of childhood) and Meredith's vocal training, under the eyes and ears of Dr. Dean Macy, indicates nothing less than earthly perfection...as is clearly exhibited in her songs.

If your heart is in the market for a fresh young lyric soprano... someone whose vocal dimensions can provide all the thrilling goose-bumping excitement of a magnificent roller-coaster ride, and you want to begin following her career from the beginning, then without a doubt Meredith Ryan Packer more than aptly fills this role. Bookmark her in your heart. She's fresh. She's nearly indescribable. She's...Meredith!"
