I don't push my voice; I try to keep a good technique, a natural way of singing, to sing from the breath, which is the main thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I work on my voice through what I have to sing.
I don't sing very loud, which some people have given me trouble about, but we all have to figure out what our voices are, embrace that.
I know I'm not a great singer. But I love to sing and I like to use my voice in different ways.
I'm not so vocal. I try to get loud, but my voice will just crack or something.
Singing for stage, if you don't hear yourself, that's when you push, and that's when you can hurt your voice sometimes. So if I can hear myself in my ear, it really helps me to find that balance of how loud I needed to be singing.
I think I don't sing as hard as I used to sing. I used to kind of hit the accelerator a lot back in my youth, but now it's just being able to control it, and not work it so hard and use more of an emotional or sub textual kind of approach to singing.
The fact that I'm often pushing my voice as hard as I can is from playing in nightclubs in Albuquerque where you don't have a good sound system.
I am still working on developing my voice. I am, I know, better as a coloratura singer than I was. It's a matter of strong breath control and yet making it sound as though it is the easiest thing in the world.
I always knew I had a voice and I've always known I could sing, but I was too shy to let it come out. I think it's the hardest thing to do, to sing in front of people. When I finally let go and did it, I realized it's what I'm most talented at and what I love to do the most.
I sing a lot, even with my voice.
