Randy:> The implication that the classical method of voice production is the healthiest is just not true ... the data does not support it. Vocal problems are fairly well distributed amongst genres with the leader (although not by much) being amateur classical singers.<
Wow... that's completely consistant with my previous comments:
"...opera singers BELT WITHIN AN ESTHETIC LIMIT ( a.k.a "proper breath support" ). That limit is GENERALLY healthy, EFFORTLESS, at least to those who survive it and make a career ( that brings to mind that interview by Kiri-Te-Kanawa I mentioned here a long time ago, where she said she used to cut singing classes a lot and became successful, while her more dedicated colleagues ruined their voices before they started a career. That's Darwinian selection ).
