Renee Fleming
The reason that some singers go on to become great artists has very little to do with their voices, but rather with the fact that they have used their instruments as tools for detailed communication.
Renee Fleming
Contrary to the norm, as my technique improved my voice became higher.
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

Renee Fleming
With classical singing you have to put out so much air - you project, you emit force.
Renee Fleming
Your brain has a music room, and evolution would not have gone to the trouble of designing that if it didn't have some benefits. So, that suggests to me that we and our ancestors have had music as a central part of our experience for eons. And we're just beginning to understand how that might be. I think that's fascinating.
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
Music enabled me as a fragile young person to give voice to emotions I could barely name, and how it enables me to give my voice the unique and mysterious power to speak to others.
