352: 4 Steps To Loving, Accepting and Improving Your Voice
THE best singers are the ones that know themselves and their voice.
Because when you know yourself - the question isn't "why do I suck today...I always suck?" It's why isn't my voice doing what it usually does.
What DOES your voice usually do? Do you even know? Do you spend enough time with your voice to make that evaluation?
Can you feel where your vocal break is? Can you tell when your voice doesn't shimmer, sparkle, or have the same power as usual? Do you know what your optimal time of day for practice is?
THIS is knowing your voice. And when you know your voice, you can give yourself more grace. You can ask yourself what you need and what you want...instead of feeling frustrated and like you suck all the time.
The reality is that you don't suck...but you don't know your voice.
On today's episode...
We will go through 4 steps that will get you more motivated to love, accept and improve your singing!
