STOP WATCHING ANIME
(except for darling in the franxx because it makes the gays and trannies mad)
Who are we?
Are we better?
Or will we just be woke degenerates?
That is up to you mate set the ideal high and hit it.
Fellas I'd just like to say
I was an autistic shut-in basically up until 2 years ago, when I joined up with a community choir
It hasn't always been easy or a smooth ride or anything but the experience has basically helped me become a normal, social person
I'm feeling more and more confident every day and like I actually have friends now
And honestly I think a community choir is just about the perfect outlet because:
A. You become more confident in the sound of your own voice
B. You get to be part of a group-effort that is bigger than just you
C. You get ample time and opportunity to get to know other people through the shared interest of singing
D. Performing on stage is low-risk enough for you to have the confidence to actually be there, but the experience is still enough to help you be less self-conscious and nervous in front of a lot of people
E. Singing/music is a highly traditional form of worship
F. Since most community choirs meet in church buildings/are sponsored in some way by churches, it's an excellent way to get involved in the church if you aren't already
that's good to hear barry, glad you're doing well
We just had our weekend concerts, finished up earlier today
I volunteered for a speaking role during the concert to push myself and I didn't fuck it up
@Barry White That's great
God bless
Do your best
I'm proud
i dont wanna do that 😡
@Barry White have you had any formal vocal training prior? i'm fully convinced my voice is complete aids
None
I think starting off hating the sound of your own voice is a near-universal experience
That's why I did a lot of my practicing outside of rehearsal in private, at first
Another thing about voices is that there are three components that make a good-sounding voice, and that is A: The natural sound of your voice, B: Your habits & mannerisms when you speak, and C: Your vocal range
@Callaghan It is highly unlikely that all three of these components are complete shit, and even if they are, 2/3 you have some degree of control over
With a decent amount of practice you can stretch your range to be able to hit at least a few more notes than you could before
And anyone can change their vocal mannerisms as long as you pay attention, but to some degree it will happen automatically as your confidence goes up
interesting
did you have a coach?
outside of the choir that is
Nah
