Why the “Fat Lady” Sings

Being thin has a negative effect on various qualities of the voice. A super talented and very pretty colleague once told me she wanted to improve her support, and was on a diet to GAIN weight! Her voice teacher called it “the power of breakfast.”

I loved that and often quote it to singers who ask me for advice to improve their singing. I tell them not to be guided by beauty standards on social media, but to always focus on their instrument first!
