More quotes by Renee Fleming
I was always a very good student.
Renee Fleming
Someone once said that there are probably seven naturally good singing days in a year-and those are days you won't be booked. What we must learn is how to sing through all the other days.
Renee Fleming
The first thing I did when I made a little bit of money as a singer was to buy myself an amber necklace. This is often the way we put together our lives, adding the striking qualities of others into our own character.
Renee Fleming
Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean, I've never arrived. I'm still learning all the time.
Renee Fleming
We sing with the entire body. The sounds that we make emanate not just from the head, but from the whole heart and soul, and, most important, the gut.
Renee Fleming
I have not changed with the accomplishments. I've remained the same. If I had changed, great. You know, but I haven't.
Renee Fleming
The student's job is to stay open-minded, to quell the knee-jerk defensiveness we all possess in the face of suggestions for improvement, and to maintain patience when faced with a process that is often slow, confusing, and frustrating.
Renee Fleming
Perfection often creates such a flawless surface that there's no place for the audience to enter into a piece, while the idiosyncrasies of individual style are like windows into the singer's heart.
Renee Fleming
There's no performance where I never have to think about setting up a phrase or making a technical adjustment while I'm performing.
Renee Fleming
I have had a very difficult time with stage fright it undermines your well-being and peace of mind, and it can also threaten your livelihood.
Renee Fleming
Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.
Renee Fleming
I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.
Renee Fleming
A lot of bad behavior in singers is caused by nerves.
Renee Fleming
Singers can also get away with a lot based on youth, strength and enthusiasm, only to find ten years later that what was once just a niggling problem has brought their careers to an end.
Renee Fleming
So much can be gained from watching other singers, seeing what they do and what they don't do, seeing how they look when they breathe, how wide they open their mouths for a high note.
Renee Fleming
I think singing it when its done well is extremely natural. It feels great.
Renee Fleming
I learned so many roles so quickly as a young singer, I thought it was time to come back to them and make them better - deeper, more nuanced.
Renee Fleming
My mother was the worst kind of stage mother. She would make me and my younger sister and brother little duckling costumes and put us in kiddie shows.
Renee Fleming
I haven't really been able to transfer into that extraordinarily other worldly creature, other than I hope on stage.
Renee Fleming
In a way, being an opera singer is like being a very romantic sixteen-year-old who falls in love with great passion and conviction every month.
