“Do not fancy, as too many do, that thou canst praise God by singing hymns to Him in church once a week, and disobeying Him all the week long.

“My first experience of that was with my first movie which I did in India. And it was so different from other people. I find that "Oh my God." Every time the music is slow I feel that people are going to get up and go out. You get this nervousness. But, to my surprise, people starting singing the song even before it came in. They started singing along a week later, after release, which was very cool.” PeopleFeelsFirstsDifferentSongWeekMusic IsSingingIndiaSurpriseStartingGet UpReleaseNervousnessVery Cool Author:A. R.

“I sustained an injury by singing with the flu during the second performance of Andrea Chenier in Buenos Aires. I was very sick, with chills and sweats, but against my better judgement I let them talk me into singing. Of course I gave the performance everything I had and my voice was hurt. It was scary at first, but fortunately there was no permanent damage. I just had to be patient and wait for the voice to return. It took six weeks of physical recuperation and it took time to recover my confidence as well.” FirstsWellsCoursesWaitingVoiceHurtWeekReturnSixSingingPerformancesSickPatientScaryPermanentJudgementDamageInjurySweatChillBe PatientFluAndreaBuenos AiresRecuperation Author:Ben Heppner
