    I think I would have had an easier time of it if I had had training much earlier. Because when I got to the training, it was in my late 30s and I already probably had every bad habit a singer could have. In fact, it still goes on. It's un-training those habits and retraining new ones - the breathing, the relaxation, the tongue, the lungs, the everything.

And if these three words are no more words to you but become experiences, your life will be transformed.

  • By Anonym

    Leisure, the highest happiness upon earth, is seldom enjoyed with perfect satisfaction, except in solitude.

    Relaxation is one of the most complex phenomena - very rich, multidimensional.
