More quotes by Renee Fleming
I'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.
Renee Fleming
It is our responsibility to learn how to speak to an audience that is less informed about music, to give it a reason to want to come and see us instead of going to the movies.
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 enjoy the more floaty, exposed, elegant singing.
Renee Fleming
When I sing, the sound is a totally different range, color, all of it. It's all about the breath. You take in a breath and you make a sound.

Among the important realizations I had in my own days in the practice room was that if any one route to any one phrase didn't work after days of trying, then the exact opposite route should at least be explored, as well as every alternative in between, as counterintuitive as that often seemed.

Well, any time Im preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, its as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.
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 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
An interpretation exists because of what we find between the notes.
Renee Fleming
I have a noble history of being rejected by a lot of places, only to discover that the one that finally lets me in is in fact the perfect fit.
Renee Fleming
I'm American. I'm eclectic. I'm going to follow my musical passions. And if people don't like it, and it hurts my legacy, I'm not going to worry about that.
Renee Fleming
While it's a fact that a voice begins with natural talent, any talent must be nurtured, cajoled, wrestled with pampered, challenged, and, at every turn, examined.
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
I cannot imagine a more satisfying calling than my own: beauty, humanity, and history every day, combined with the cathartic joy of singing.
Renee Fleming
I haven't really been able to transfer into that extraordinarily other worldly creature, other than I hope on stage.
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.
