Nutrition

85% of fitness happens in the kitchen. Educate yourself. Work with a trainer and sports nutritionist.

Your instrument - your voice - is an inseparable part of your body. The better your nutrition, the better your voice. A singer must be the whole package.

The Weightlifting Soprano

The discipline that a musician or performer must demand of herself is the same that a weightlifter or serious athlete of any kind must also demand of herself.

Sing strong.

Be strong.

Choose strong.

The fitter I am, the better I sing.

While practicing, hold a 10 to 15-pound free weight in each hand; let them dangle at each side.

Now SING and notice how the weights' presence does not allow you to give into the tension we all know and do not love when it tries to creep into our shoulders and neck in our upper register and passaggio. Without the weights, we start to clench our shoulders, but with the weights, we immediately sense when we start to succumb to the tension...and stop it in its tracks.

Now hit the gym!
