I struggle with sinus drainage continually as well as allergy issues year round. No matter what I do it will still rear it’s ugly head at times. Unconsciously I will find my self clearing my throat way too hard and not preparing my voice ahead of time.

I'm not a singer, but I think the big picture of your lesson could be applied to so many things and how we sometimes take our lives and livelihoods for granted. Thank you!

I remember singing in Church musicals in which we did about 12 short performances a night. Unfortunately, I had at least 3 solos in those shows, totally 36 solos a night with chorus singing in between. Since Pavarotti was the king at that time, I used his greasy chicken idea between shows. It worked pretty well, but we did these shows on successive nights and my chicken ran out! I sure wish I had known about that pineapple juice, because after the second night, at least 24performances, the simple show tunes, “Hey There,” “Tonight” felt like Wagner.
Even now, I make sure to vocalize everyday if there is some challenging music coming up. The best vocal thing about getting older is you learn how your voice works, when it’s not working, and what to do about it.
A great teacher like you is invaluable, and singers wanting a career, should NEVER lose contact with the teacher that did them the most good.

Best Regards and thanks for the informative CONFESSION!
