Accepting My Voice
I listened to my voice the other day and found myself not liking what I was hearing. I need to embrace the sound of my voice. It is a good voice. I just heard myself wishing that I sounded like other singers. I have a professional voiceover reel. It’s me doing several commercials. I remember listening to that and thinking I didn’t like the sound of my voice. It also didn’t help when I was having a showmance with a guy who said he could tell my age from the timber of my voice. Now that I think about it, I should have ended it with him then. … but that’s another subject. The point is that I am probably not alone on this one - accepting some kind of attribute I bring to the table as a performer. Obviously, we come as a certain thing and can’t change things only G-d can change. Say “higher power” if that was too religious of a statement for you. I want to love my voice. I feel soooooooooo good when I sing and I want to celebrate what I am able to do/express/experience. I suppose this is a part of the self - loving process, huh?
