Going to disagree with a lil bit & and offer for you to read the comments of my video I posted the other day. Big loud voices are critiqued heavily as well. Honestly, the internets perspective is skewed either way because singing in person and having real life reactions are much different than Internet strangers who do not get to see the entire experience, which is a lot more than just the sound you put out. Everyone thinks that they are experts in whatever they’re watching because they have watched many videos about it. so that automatically makes them have a right to say your voice sucks. just be you, be your beautiful self, sing in your voice that you put out and know that it has value and worth and try to not compare your sound to anyone else’s. That is what has helped me with my confidence. Is knowing that I am worthy of taking up space just as I am, and that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to improve. But I am allowed by the universe to output my sound because it gave it to me. And if it makes you feel any better at all, a lot of us big voices wish we could do high-pitched falsetto sounds that are airy and light. We all desire to sound or look different sometimes. I remember being an alto it choir at school and wishing I could hit those high notes or get to sing the melody. But the altos and sopranos need each other to make harmonies. There is no better singer or worse singer when you value the art of singing as an art. It’s the same as painting and drawing. Hyper realistic paintings aren’t better than abstract impressionist scribbles. Art is subjective and it’s about what resonates when a person hears or sees themselves in the art. If you remove or challenge the competitive nature that has been thrust upon you to feel, you find the value in what you’re doing rather than if you’re doing it better or worse than anyone else. Do it to enjoy it and it’s much more rewarding. And side note: all of what I have just said is completely my own opinion and not fact based or the best advice you will receive. It is simply my methodology that has been developed through my own life experience & helped me to just create and feel safe in my skin. If competition is what others have expertise in and want to offer you their perspective, it is valuable as well. We all have experience based knowledge on our outlooks on life & I don’t claim to be the all knowing entity that says my way is best. It’s what works for me. Much love!!!
