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?
@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
They are the most overlooked type of influencers
Maybe not teachers, but professors definitely
bc teachers have very little freedom and just follow the cirriculum for the most par
