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

Now granted, I had siblings in the choir before I joined, so that pushed me in that direction, but nobody told me I had to do it

I just figured that it would be a good experience for me, so I signed up

cool

was it attached to a church?

Yeah, almost everyone there was part of the church that we rehearsed in, or a church that was close by

was it catholic?

Presybyterian, with a large contingent from a nearby orthodox church

i don't want to be too much more specific than that though

How about public speaking? Has anyone done toastmasters or anything like that to improve it?

same thing happened to me when i started beating up uncovered/imoddest women outside my church

@Barry White

@Bloat MOGG be wary of toastmasters if you go its a Freemason recruitment org

Like Rotary

But its good for learning how to speak in public

If you're in college or school you should do some debating

Oh really? Shit

Ah I think I’m too woke for that

No I’m old 😢

Did an hour long presentation today (alone) and the teacher said I did really well and that I should go into English

Was a film analysis of Taxi Driver and Blade Runner 2049

Good

Keep up the good work

Our guys need to become teachers

So u could be an English teacher if u want

We talk about science a lot, but if u love the arts, u are very valuable to the movement also

We need teachers
