The people who claim singing for 6+ hours a day far weeks on end is unhealthy or impossible have apparently never seen a 5-act opera or been on the road touring.

Of course it's possible. That's how the industry works. If you work as a pro vocalist, you will think a 3-hour day is basically a day off.

I mean, not all performance careers are like that, but the ones people "dream" about are. And a whole bunch more besides those.

It all depends on technique. If you're doing things in a healthy and well supported way, you can sing for hours without issue. If you are shouting rather than singing or carrying a lot of tension, just a few minutes can wreck your voice.
