"The young female singer (Leandra Ramm) was wonderful in the shows. Great voice, great looks and she really sells a song."
"Leandra Ramm is one of the most versatile singers I know with a fantastic voice!"
"I'm wondering if Celebrity Cruises might be an upgrade. I know that recently opera artist Leandra Ramm was on the Equinox. (not sure if she's still there). She's an exceptional talent. I have her album...Since they're the ship that hired Leandra Ramm, perhaps it's a safe bet that they hire first rate talent. Maybe that's the ship I should go with whether she's still there or not."
"Leandra Ramm is a wonderful opera singer who also performs some pop. She's currently a lead vocalist on the Equinox and will be through Feb 3, 2012. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do a cruise on that ship by then. This makes me really sad because she's an amazing talent. If anyone has seen her perform on the Equinox, do speak up...Well, I hope I get to catch a performance of her on land then."

"...the voices of the protagonists were delightful, especially that of...Leandra Ramm, who sang "I am only thinking of him".

Man of la Mancha presented by Diablo Light Opera Company
The above quote is translated from Spanish
"...the music alone is reason to see the show. Such songs as "The Impossible Dream," "I'm Only Thinking of Him" (well done by Karen DeLong, Leandra Ramm and Robin Taylor) and "Dulcinea" linger in the memory."

"Gertrude (Veronica Chapman-Smith) and Albert (Switzer) just built a new mansion, and they’ve hired a live-in housekeeper (Leandra Ramm) to clean up after them...To be sure, anyone searching for good singing would have found it in "ConNEXTions."...I delighted in hearing these singers in such an intimate setting as the Ethical Society’s main hall."

Toledo Troupe visits area schools to inspire new fans

"The superb vocalist Leandra Ramm releases her fabulous debut single, "Dream Angel," that creatively intermingles the genres of Pop and Classical music. What happens when you take these genres and put them together with a magnificent singer? A song that is truly innovating and stylish. There are two versions of "Dream Angel" and both are equally impressive. Taking the musical composition from Bach's Prelude in C Major and writing an original vocal line gives inspiration to Ramm as she performs with a rich and exquisite vocal range. Her strong opera voice surges with a highly polishes style and grace. Now take this single as a remix and the end result is wonderful. You can hear the vibrant beats with electrifying pulses as Ramm takes her song and spins it into a terrific modern Pop version. If you're a fan of Pop and Classical music, then the single, "Dream Angel," will surprise and amaze you as Ramm proves to be a powerful vocalist in either style of music."

RadioIndy Review of Dream Angel
"In an interesting combination of pop and classical music, Leandra Ramm’s One Night With You showcases her amazing voice. The 25-year-old mezzo-soprano is classically trained and in the beginning of her career appeared in plenty of operas like Man of La Mancha, Rigoletto and Cosi Fan Tutte. A smattering of original songs is sprinkled into some loved Broadway tunes. Ramm lends her wonderful pipes to songs like “Suddenly Seymour” from Little Shop of Horrors, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar and “If I Loved You” from Carousel. Plus there is one cover of Willie Nelson’s “Crazy”. Her voice and the wide variety of styles incorporated into the 17 tracks means that her target audience is quite wide. The lead single off the album is the original “Dream Angel” and with her voice coupled with the interesting arrangement it is nothing like every second song you hear on the radio. The song is so good that she had to include two very different versions of the song on the album."
