Q: What's your typical work process?

A: My typical work process is to warm up my voice and my body before recording, to make sure that I get the best out of it. I generally rehearse what I need to sing to really be able to focus on the interpretation and emotion while I actually record. When I'm finally recording, I do several takes and once I feel that I have all the material, I select my best performance and make it ready to put right into the DAW.
