More quotes by 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.
Renee Fleming
With classical singing you have to put out so much air - you project, you emit force.
Renee Fleming
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.

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
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
I'm reserved, so I've always needed to find a way of opening up. Jazz helped me do that.
Renee Fleming
I was always a very good student.
Renee Fleming
My whole career I played these girls sort of 18 to 23.
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
One of my timesaving habits is to save all of my magazines and junk mail for airplane trips. I walk on the plane with a very heavy bundle, but by the time the trip is over, it can all be thrown away.
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
I don't like to sing loud.
