NOTE: The conclusion of Ch 1 of 'The Voice Lesson' mentions how, in the future, Sebastian (age 18) and Gloria (21) got married and each had successful careers (he as a famous operatic tenor and she as a music teacher). Chapter 2, however, continues the story when Sebastian still was a senior in high school trying to gain admittance to the college of his choice: Manhattan School of Music (fictional). Professor Francis Elliott felt that while Sebastian's piano playing was up to stuff, he needed voice lessons before entering their college program. He sent Sebastian to Dame Edith von Heuson, a retired opera singer who was one of the best voice teachers in the world.

Sebastian was still recovering from the greatest singing lesson anyone could possibly have. He got to see Gloria in her naked glory and to sing with her while he and she were naked. To cap off the day, Gloria gave him a sensational hand job while Dame Edith looked on with a great smile.
Sebastian was singing well, he was looking forward to college after his senior year, and he had met the girl he loved. Best of all, there was no awkwardness in their relationship since they had seen each other naked. And finally, Sebastian was getting over his shyness and no longer felt so embarrassed.
But he had not yet conquered his feelings of embarrassment as he was soon to discover. Dame Edith had plans for Sebastian and those plans included the young man singing in the nude in public..
The singing lessons continued. And he was making great progress. Most of the sessions were just he and Dame Edith. Every third or fourth lesson would include Gloria. At all lessons, the two students were naked and Sebastian just loved looking at his naked girlfriend. They were dating but secretly since Sebastian didn't know how his parents would react to his dating a woman three years older than him.
Sebastian arrived for his next singing lesson and received a warm hug from Dame Edith. She pointed to the bathroom and Sebastian went in and disrobed. Completely naked he walked out, got another hug, a soft pat on his naked ass, and began singing.
After a few scales, Dame Edith said "Sebastian, dear, I now must try something else. You do trust me, right?"
"Why do you ask?" he said. "Of course, I trust you."
"Enough not to question me and my method of teaching?" she asked.
"Of course," Sebastian said with a smile.
"To be a great singer, one has to learn to relax," Dame Edith began. "We all get nervous before we sing and even while we are singing. The great singers are the ones who learn how to control that nervousness and fear. For instance, you greatly improved in your lessons from the day you got naked. Knowing that I was looking at your body and studying your cute sex organ, you began to relax. After all, I had seen it all and what could be worse than that? Nothing. Thus you begin to worry less about the singing."
Dame Edth noticed that Sebastian was blushing profusely. Just talking about his sex organ embarrassed him, never mind the fact that she could, in fact, see his sex organ.
"Oh, sweetie, I don't mean to embarrass you," she said, enjoying her lie. "And look how comfortable you and Gloria are singing together when you are both naked."
"I get your point," Sebastian said. "I do feel very comfortable around you because I am naked and you are not. I know you aren't expecting to have sex...well, you know what I mean."
"Right! Exactly!" she said. "And that is why you will never see me naked because that then causes a new concern. After all, I am old enough to be your grandmother."
"You still are a great looker," the young man said, looking down to the floor."
"Thank you so much, Sebastian," Edith said, "you are so kind. Oh, look, you are getting hard. What a compliment,"
Sebastian quickly covered himself and said "I am so sorry."
"Oh, it is okay. Your cock is cute, soft or hard. Come, sit down with me on the couch." When they settled in, Sebastian cock was pointing straight up but Edith ignored it.
"What I want you to do next is sing for some of my friends - a short, thirty minute recital here at my studio."
"I won't be naked, would I?" he asked.
"Of course, you will be. Think of it. If you can sing naked in front of some old fuddy duddies you can sing anywhere."
"So, I wouldn't know them, right?" Sebastian asked.
"Not the ladies, but some you will," she said. "For instance, I certainly will have Professor Elliott here as he is a close friend of mine and he does want to see your progress."
"Wouldn't he be turned off if he saw me naked?" he asked.
"Oh, no," she said. "Francis is very gay."
"I'm not sure that is better," Sebastian said, thinking out loud.
"You are going to be a future student of his," she said, "and he will always act appropriately - I think."
"Gloria will be here, of course," Dame Edith continued. "And I thought I would invite two of my friends, retired singers. They weren't stars like me and like you will be, but we became friends when I sang at the MET and they were in the chorus."
The long and the short of it was that Sebastian reluctantly agreed to Dame Edith's proposal. Part of him thought that if he could pull this off, he would really cure his nervousness when he is singing. Well, perhaps not 'cure' since there wasn't any real cure to that. But he would learn to control it so his nerves would not prevent him from singing at the high standards that opera demanded and in front of thousands of people.. The other part of him was that he was sort of enjoying having Edith look at his nudity or having Gloria see him. Now he liked it better when he and Gloria sang together while naked, but being the only one naked did give him a different feeling, one that he liked.
The next lesson was devoted to choosing what he would sing at this 'mini-recital'. Dame Edith and Sebastian chose songs and arias that would most effectively show Professor Francis Elliott the progress he had made in the past few months. This would be the recital that would finally get him officially into the music program at the college.
"I want to be accepted into this college only because the Professor believes I can succeed as a singer and have a good chance at an operatic career, not just because he sees me naked."
"Trust me," Dame Edith said, "if he thought you could not achieve your goals, meaning he does not feel you have the singing talent to do so, then he will not take you. The musical standards that Professor Elliott sets are the most important thing for him. He is a single, gay man and his work is his whole life. He won't risk that just because he likes the way you look. Besides, I know Francis and I know your talent, and you, Sebastian, have the talent and the passion and the work habits to be a very successful opera singer. And Francis and I, in the following four years, will get you prepared so that you can achieve your goals.
"So, if I get into the college, you would still be my voice teacher?"
"Oh, yes," Edith said. "Francis knows I am a much better voice teacher than he would ever be. What he will do is train you for an opera career. He and the other professors will teach you musical theory and so on. I will train your voice, they will train you for a career in opera or musicals or wherever you want to go with your singing."
Despite these assurances, the two days before this informal but very special recital would take place were days of nervous anticipation for Sebastian. The closer the day came, the more nervous Sebastian was about appearing in the nude. Gloria came to the rescue.
"Now, Sebastian dear," she said when they went to lunch after the last voice lesson before the recital, "you will be fine. The Professor is probably getting real excited about seeing a young man as cute as you are being all naked. And the two friends of Dame Edith? Oh, you don't have to worry about them. They will be like Edith. I mean, you must have noticed that during lessons, she can't take her eyes off your cute sex organ. Frankly, neither can I."
Well, what young man can refuse that pep talk? So, when the magic day arrived, Sebastian waited in the bathroom dressed only in a fluffy robe as the Professor and Edith's two friends, Elsie and Evelyn, got settled in their seats. The reactions of the two female friends of Edith's and of the gay professor were markedly different.
Dame Edith began the recital by telling the small audience of four (the two friends, the professor, and Gloria) of how excited she was with the progress young Sebastian had made under her tutelage. "His technique is outstanding," she said, "and to show how he does this, how he uses his body, he will sing for you in the nude."
Now this was not a surprise to the audience but their anticipation and excitement was intense even so. When Sebastian, with his robe still on, walked to the piano, Evelyn was taken aback at how cute this eighteen year old specimen was - a face that would win anyone over. Elsie had the same reaction and sported a broad smile.
The professor, however, was suffering a more intense feeling. He, of course, knew Sebastian having met him several times during the application process for the college. But seeing him now, knowing that he was naked under that robe, Francis was taken over with feelings of lust and love that he was having trouble controlling himself. And when Dame Edith removed the robe, Sebastian's nudity finished him off. Fortunately he had placed his coat on his lap - purposely so - and he was able to cover his raging erection.
And who could blame him? To the professor, Sebastian was the perfect image of the male body. And his sex organ? - the sloping penis, the hanging balls, the silky pubic hair on top - fit Sebastian's body perfectly. Looking back later, the professor thought that his self-control that day was his greatest achievement. No one knew the struggle he had while Sebastian sang his arias and songs. Seeing the young man's balls sway with each note? Oh, my god, the professor said to himself.
And at this point, Professor Francis Elliott knew that he had to have this young man, and not just for lessons. But how? He knew that Sebastian was straight so how could he, the professor, have him? Well, that was a problem for later.
Sebastian, meanwhile, was dealing with his own fears. His embarrassment at singing in the nude was very intense. Both Gloria and Edith knew this because they knew this young man better than he, perhaps, knew himself. But both were so impressed and proud at how he performed despite the strong emotions of embarrassment he was feeling. Finally, Sebastian was controlling his fear and nervousness of singing in front of people at a level that stage fright would no longer be a factor.
