It's so important to me to take care of my voice. I do a lot of vocal warms-ups right before I go on.

Just the way my voice sounds now, it's always had this little hoarse thing to it. And I'd have to do vocal exercises to make my voice clear.

Speech lessons probably did more for my singing voice - they teach you breathing, resonance.

Well, any time I'm preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, it's as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.

I do a lot of vocal hygiene.

I don't really strain my voice.

I'm more relaxed when I can hear the beat clearly all the time I'm singing.

I don't take care of my voice at all, which is one reason that I sound as bad as I do.

Along the way, I've had different advice from different music producers. I've been told to tone it down, that the quiet parts of my voice are appealing and there's harshness to the loud part of my voice.

I know how to treat my voice to make it sound as good as it possibly can - which is still not that good.
