2. Seriously, you’ll buy the entire pharmacy if it will give you your voice back.

4. When EVERYTHING in life should be sung. Because it’s more fun, OK?

5. When after seven years of singing lessons, three years of music school and a year of being a paid professional singer, people still ask to hear your art for free

6. When you didn’t have time to warm up before leaving the house but you know people will just think you’re drunk if you do it in public

7. When coloratura is your very worst enemy

8. When you mentally convince yourself you can nail Queen of the Night, but your range just won’t cooperate

9. When you refuse to let petty things like learning a language hold you back from your full potential 

10. When you’re too sick to sing, and you slowly start to lose your mind

 

This ginger was made for walkin, and that's just what... Ok I'm a little loopy today. It sucks that my instrument is a living organism. I was too sick to sing or even work in the studio today. Hopefully this ginger root boot is gonna fix me all up for my Saturday show  #singerproblems #dumbjoke #ifeelterrible

12. When you're not allowed to have sweet treats on concert day and it absolutely kills you

 

When there are homemade cookies, banana bread, scones and jelly but you have to sing so you set some aside for later because if you wait they will be gone #yummytreats #singerproblems #itssogood

13. When no matter how exhausting it is for everyone around you, you refuse to reign in your love for the stage

14. When your vocal chords are ruined, you’ve probably got nodules and an endoscopy is definitely on the cards – but as long as there is still singing, you will be cheerful
