[@ArtisticAsian1014]

On a Philippine TV show she actually says during the production of Miss Saigon she was losing her voice but they/someone payed for her to get lessons in classical training so her voice wouldn't get ruined.

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

@@kawaii33366 that's because the vocal cords are such tiny muscles that its easy to detect when were hurting them. They will always tell us when were hurting them or using unnecessary tension to produce a sound. With singing, we know exactly when were using the muscles correctly and we make sure we dont injure them with things such as rest and consistent exercising.

[@christianealshut1123]

I don't think techincally difficult singing can kill a good voice if you've had proper training. But forcing it without proper training will, and so will singing when you're suffering from a resüiratory illness. I don't know the exact link but I'm sure I've seen at least one clip of Idina here where someone remarked on her sounding different and someone else proceeded to mention that she had been ill at the time. It's practically like dancing on pointe while already having a stress fracture in the foot.

[@jerp1367]

@@christianealshut1123 It's called vocal nodules, and for sure she had them. She had to get surgery and the regular stuff. Sometimes it doesn't even matter if you use proper technique or not, simply singing too much can bring about nodules. That is why it is very important to rest it as much as possible, especially if you are in show business. Julie Andrews had vocal nodules, and she was a stellar singer, yet she sang too much

This is gonna sound odd, but Colm Wilkinson is who made me love theater. I always loved the novel Les Miserables, and when I first saw him sing, I almost cried because he looked exactly like how I pictured Jean Valjean. Even if it was on a poor quality vid on KZbin. So... Yeah.

I first encountered his voice on the Canadian Cast recording of Phantom of the Opera when I was perhaps 6 years old, and when I "graduated" to Les Mis (still love POTO but my tastes changed a bit) and found out it was the same person, I just needed to hear everything from him.
