People are living a lot longer these days and not preparing for it. I'm in the gym and, you know, using my voice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every day, I start with a workout; I do vocal lessons, I do piano lessons.
I try to frighten my very young colleagues into studying and understanding their voices before they attempt things that are beyond them. It's wise to take gymnastics and swimming to strengthen the body, because people don't realise what an athletic undertaking singing actually is.
I was able to realize that I definitely want to make sure that I use my voice, as it gets bigger and bigger, in the world for good.
And I've had vocal training on and off for years.
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.
For me, one of the important things about keeping vocally healthy is warming up and making sure I'm aware where my voice is at, drinking lots of water and getting plenty of sleep, and just taking care of myself with exercise and eating healthy.
Folks, just a few minutes of my voice can change a life.
I do voicework all the time.
I worry about my voice 24/7 when I'm on tour. It's like a pitcher and his arm. It's constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around.
We live in a very disposable society, and people want everything right away, but unfortunately, vocal technique doesn't come overnight.
