Voice and Weight

I think that I have been every size in the book, weight has always been a problem. Plus, I have had on and off allergy problems for 35 years and have been on Sudafed most of my life. During weight loss, one needs to exercise and be in touch with one's body. But there is more! My usual expression is: One has to be able to drive stick shift, even though we are expecting a limo. This is why I teach technique, not just habit. I think the correct word is appoggio.
