  • Singers’ Gut Health

    “All diseases begin in the gut.” – Hippocrates Fair enough. But the most surprising thing of all is that this wasn’t fully researched until 2006 (are you kiddin’ me!? – I get so frustrated 🙁 ), when O’Hara and Shanahan recognised the gut bacteria as a living organ and said it was responsible for all…

  • Singing and Hormones

    I was just talking to my drummer friend Roberto after finishing one of our weekly gigs at Sarastro in Covent Garden, about the sheer happiness and incomparable high we feel while performing.

  • Breathing Exercises

    First things first. We ought to breathe in the lower part of our lungs (Diaphragmatic or Abdominal Breathing), because that’s where our lungs are wider, therefore we logically have more capacity to house air. As singers, it wouldn’t make sense to breathe in the upper part of our lungs (also called Superior Breathing or Asthmatic…
