What classical voice training taught me:

1. “Ring louder than you sing”—the power of resonance.

2. Singing is an ATHLETIC feat; it is NOT “effortless”, even when we masterfully create the illusion that it is. You can sweat. Eat well. Sleep well. Take care of your body. Treat yourself like the athlete you are.

3. Progress takes time!!!! I was told, “Give it two years” to even begin to notice real change. Pavarotti said it took him 10 years to sing an F# with his fabled resonance and richness.
