    18 Things Every Singer Understands

    "I need to sing to stay sane."

    1. The list of things you CAN'T eat and drink is infinitely longer than the list of things you can eat and drink.

    2. Practicing means you're going to get a guaranteed noise complaint, especially if you're belting.

    3. You're healthy most of the time, until the day right before a huge performance.

    4. The pride you feel when you add a note to your range.

    5. You freak out when you're around anyone who is sick.

    6. Some days, the passaggio just doesn't feel like participating.

    7. Tea and water are your absolute best friends.

    8. The first thought you have when you hear someone screaming is:

    9. When the doctor tells you that you have to go on vocal rest.

    10. You get the overwhelming urge to sing when it's not acceptable.

    11. Sometimes your warm ups straight up sound horrible...

    12. ...but other days, you throw down at a huge performance and you're like:

    13. Audition day = liquid diet.

    14. The steamer is your friend.

    15. When you feel yourself getting sick.

    16. When someone says a line from a song without realizing it and you have to struggle not to sing it.

    17. You know NOBODY becomes great without sounding crazy in the practice room first.

    18. Yup, YOU ROCK.
