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 ).
