Voice teacher condemns Neville before a class

In his twenties he paid $500 to a voice school where the teacher held him up before a class of forty as the example of everything done wrong, saying he would never earn a living with his voice; it made him so angry he used the opposition to rise, never went back to any school, and of the forty only the teacher ever used her voice professionally.

    Why Refines the existing between-1925-and-1934 claim to day precision; that row is left standing.
    Reasoning He gives his age as 'in my twenties' rather than a year; using the corpus birth anchor (hist_event 950, 1905-02-19), a person is in their twenties from the 20th birthday to the day before the 30th, giving 1925-02-19 to 1935-02-18. This is a finer version of the existing year-only 1925-1934 claim from the same witness, not a duplicate. Kept at probable because it is a self-reported age recalled decades later from the platform, per the corpus convention for recalled ages.
