Struggling with Voice

by

A few poor performers in my cast are struggling vocally. This is a tough thing and my heart sincerely goes out to them. It can be so frustrating when you feel like you are doing everything you can and the odds just seem to continue to go against you. The times I have struggled vocally, that is exactly what I did.
If you are someone reading this who has gone through or is going through some vocal bull, just know that you are not alone. Talented, working artists have to deal with these things all the time. We work through them or sometimes are forced to take some time off to prevent any permanent damage.
No matter what, don’t ask for other opinions. Be true with yourself and you will know what to do to get yourself back to health.
