Area Dachshund Excels at Voice Lessons

By Mirandate, FluffPo Correspondent

Sam, a 6-year-old Dachshund originally from Texas, is the most recent star of Diva Voice Studios, according to his teacher, Alisa. Although he was originally attracted to lessons at the studio so he could improve his karaoke performance of Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog,” in recent weeks, he’s discovered a passion for Hank Williams. Sam even plans to record a cover album early next year, featuring one original composition by Sam himself: “You Can’t Hide Your Snout Away.”

Sam has been described as a vocal prodigy. “At first, we worked on diction, enunciation, and reducing his Southern drawl,” Alisa Wilson, director of the studio noted. “But he rapidly surpassed my expectations and I think he’ll be ready for solo work soon. His sense of tone is one of the best I’ve worked with, and he has two great, floppy ears.”

Jack Darby, Sam’s downstairs neighbor, admitted, “At first, I was annoyed by his constant practicing, but in recent weeks he’s gotten a lot better at scales.” At press time, Sam was getting sniffs and bites of interest from local record company Snout Jam Records, though it was unclear whether this was official or related to the office poodle, Rex.
