There's very little I can sing now. When I asked my first voice teacher, who was the best one, "When will I know when to stop singing?" he said, "Your voice will tell you." And it is very, very difficult to sing now.
I think I do better when I sing.
I don't want to say the wrong thing, which I always do. I think I do better when I sing.
I realize that singing is saving my life, once I started again.
If I go three days without vocalizing, the voice is gone.
Singing connects the mind with the heart and the heart with the soul. So sing. I dare you!
When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.
I had spent about three months where I couldn't sing at all, so that was anxiety-provoking. But after that, I went back out. I sang for two hours in my garage one day to see if I had a voice.
I'm a geek when it comes to my voice. I know if it hurts, something's wrong. You shouldn't feel it! It's very important to look after your voice.
Singing is good for the soul. It's the first thing I do every morning, after my blessings and my grace. I put music on and I sing.
I think actually singing the words is more therapeutic than just sitting down to write them, because then you are letting it out, and it's coming from your gut.
Playing the ukulele and singing is a fantastic stress reliever. So is cleaning! Scrubbing away at the dirt helps clear my mind as well.
For me, bel canto is medicine for the voice.
