Question: If a singer strains his voice it is heard easily and it spoils everything.
Answer: That is quite true. But to strain the voice is one thing, and to develop the voice - if it can be called a development to make an unnatural voice out of a natural voice - is a different thing. It is not a question of straining the voice, it is making the voice quite different from what was given by nature. Then the magic is lost. Nature has given a certain kind of voice; that voice represents the spirit, the soul, the heart, the intellect, everything that is in man. Evolution in man is to be seen in his voice, and when that voice is changed, then it is different. One need not strain one's voice in order to become unnatural; it is very easy to become unnatural!
