I liked the chapter on healthy lifestyles for singers. I found it interesting that Smith mentioned dry climates and how breathing in steam can help lubricate the vocal folds a little better. I also was interested with what he said about physical appearance and televised opera. I’ve always thought of opera as one of the most body-positive and inclusive art forms, so it was a little weird to read that televised operas often place higher value on physical appearance and modern beauty standards rather than just the quality of one’s voice.
