Anyone out there who thinks operatic voice doesn’t take any effort and is just “fat people screaming in gibberish onstage”, suck it. In a preliminary session I had with a personal trainer a while back, she expressed how impressed she was about the core strength I have compared to other clients who were just starting out. It’s because of my operatic training. It was one of my New Year Resolutions to take better care of myself and to get in shape. This is one of the ways I’m doing that. I want my body to be stronger for what lies ahead of me in the future when it comes to singing. Can’t really see because I’m holding a 5lb weight on my chest, but I am wearing a T-shirt featuring @theawakeningofficial generously gifted to me by @ashtonnyte - you’re so sweet. Some of what I was listening to today was by The Awakening, and it was truly invigorating and inspiring. 🥰 #selfimprovememt #workoutgoth #gothatthegym #operasingeratthegym https://www.instagram.com/p/B8HT8qknpOG/?igshid=wdekq8kkrhjk
