I'm very pro presenting the best music I can to the widest audience possible.
From Lesley Garrett
Singing is an arduous business and it needs sacrifices.
I do a lot of vocal hygiene.
I'm engaging my diaphragm as I'm speaking to you right now.
There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.
It worries me that young singers think you can shortcut the training and go straight to fame and fortune, and programmes like Pop Idol have encouraged that.
I wouldn't want to criticise someone like Charlotte Church because she has done fantastically well, but personally I've always cared about the long term.
To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home.
Nobody inspired me more than Julie Andrews, who is a classically trained soprano herself.
I saw The Sound of Music when I was 10 and thought that it was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard.
