“When I was training as a singer, it sometimes felt as though I was on a quest for the holy grail of ‘the breath.’ I realize now that there is no perfect breathing system, only a body of knowledge that performers and teachers have found to work in practice.” – Gillyanne Kayes, from Singing And The Actor
“As with every other aspect of singing, balance of muscle and air is fundamental [in regard to belting]. Not too much and not too little, which is where the concept of support can open up a world of extra practice for you.” – Chris Johnson and Steve Giles, hosts of The Naked Vocalist (issue 4)
“If you are a singer, understanding formants and harmonics not only instills confidence in your training approach, it empowers by allowing you to precisely fine-tune problem spots with confidence. Teachers owe it to their students (and themselves) to understand the voice as much as possible. I can’t overemphasize how much it’s helped in my voice.” – Ryan Luchuck, vocal coach, (issue 6)
“If singing is important to you, either as a creative expression or a way to earn a living, then you need to view your voice as an athlete does their body. Respect it, care for it, train it, keep it fit and healthy and nurture it. Most of all do not take it for granted. It cannot be replaced. A vocal coach/singing teacher who can help you and your voice through the good times and the bad is not an expense, they’re an investment.” – Line Hilton, founder/editor of iSing Magazine.
