Another new registrant here, posting to express many thanks to Yep and others...much improvement all around for me. Hasn't helped my singing much but now I can see where I made mistakes in previous projects ( which had real time constraints, so actually were "finished rather than perfect").

One topic I did not see mentioned, or i missed...physical well-being and how it relates to the end result. I had a recent experience where I "hit the wall";* end result being I went deaf in one ear and half in the other ( my body sometimes over produces ear wax ) for a number of days.

I will admit I enjoyed the silence and I slept better, but I started wondering what productive people in this vocation do to maintain good health; aurally, physically, mentally. It would seem to me, being overly focused on reaching the next level ( as I am wont to do ) is not really part of a healthy lifestyle.* How do you know when to stop?? Do you have timers set that you don't ignore? Do you force yourself to leave it alone for a day? Or are you like me, and find yourself deaf, blind and hungry at an unspeakable hour?
