Singing is an arduous business and it needs sacrifices.
Nobody inspired me more than Julie Andrews, who is a classically trained soprano herself.
I also have to support my speaking voice by sitting in a way that engages the diaphragm in the way I would for singing.
I'm engaging my diaphragm as I'm speaking to you right now.
There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.
To tell you the truth, I never listen to opera at home.
