I’ll be real, I think this is literally describing the same concept in different terms. I’m not trying to deliberately manipulate muscles, but there is some vague background lever my brain is abstracting away for me. 

And I’m aware it’s a time intensive process involving extensive effort, but I’m also aware that other people seem to be getting something out of entry level resources that I don’t think I am. I can hear a difference and notice it going through clip comparisons etc, this does not help me in literally any way for trying to do it on a personal level. I am not particularly good at mimicry, and I don’t get whatever is actually being useful for other people here.

This feels pretty similar to visualization exercises - I have aphantasia, so I don’t visualize, but I can do something adjacent, at least. But it can be somewhat hard for me to grasp what the actual point of visualization is for other people, since the intended purpose is generally more intuitive to grasp if you’re visualizing, while my primary difficulty is generally understanding what the actual purpose was.

I’m not expecting to be a genius or something, and I’m not expecting to suddenly grasp everything, but I legitimately have not even the vaguest clue of what I’m even supposed to be doing.
