Singing is a passionate affair, about loving life not being affraid.
The danger with a list of do's and don'ts is that one becomes
neurotic and creates a psychological prison for oneself.

Caruso sang outside, after giving a performance, so that those
who could not get into the opera house could hear him. The Minack
Theatre in Cornwall is cut out of the rock - an inspiring place to
sing.

Don't be prissy, but find your own balance. Human beings are
social beings not Trappists or monastics.
