I had a lot of vocal problems when I was younger. I don't know if it's down to leading a healthier lifestyle or what but my range has increased.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most voices get weaker and frailer. I seem to be getting better with age.
I'm just concerned that if I get older, people aren't going to enjoy me as much as when I was younger, because I had a great voice for a little girl, but I mean, my voice can't get any bigger when I'm older.
And I've had vocal training on and off for years.
About 10 years ago, I took some vocal lessons. I'll bet that helped. I got a tape of exercises that the girl gave me, which I don't do anymore, but they were good. And I don't smoke.
I have deliberately kept singing because I have to at my age. If I stopped for even a year my voice would slowly deteriorate until it's not there at all. That's a fact about getting to my age.
I could imagine at a certain age, when I have no vocal cords left, that I would find a young man who could sing my parts for me. But I don't see why I would stop.
I want to keep my voice young, with nothing heavy.
My voice has been very, very produced, and very treated - but then, also, it hasn't.
As I got older, my voice got better.
I started having a lot of problems with my voice in my mid-30s.
