... I will kowtow you and treat you ice kacang.
Just a little video to show that not every opera singer is a fat lil italian donning a viking hat.
In fact there are many classical vocalists such as Sumi Jo who doesn't have a drop of european blood in them.
The video is to throw off the misconception that bigger bellies / frames hold more breath intake that keeps your notes going longer. It's true to some degree that it does help, but holding long / high notes is subject to how well you take in air, and control the amount released when you sing, not the amount of air reserves in itself.
The girl in the video is Kokia, a pop singer. Personally I prefer her voice in pop than in that video, but her music's beautiful, check her out.
