I also have to support my speaking voice by sitting in a way that engages the diaphragm in the way I would for singing.
That was when I realised that music is the most profound, magical form of communication there is.
There are a lot of unseen elements to having a successful singing career.
I do a lot of vocal hygiene.
I'm very pro presenting the best music I can to the widest audience possible.
It worries me that young singers think you can shortcut the training and go straight to fame and fortune, and programmes like Pop Idol have encouraged that.
