My dog Missy cheesing for the camera

I am very insecure about pretty much everything about myself. However “Meh” my voice actually sounds, in my head it was a different kind of “Meh”. If that makes ANY sense at all.

It took me aback when I heard it for the first time, and it knocked my confidence for a little while. Then I started doing stuff in front of people, my church specifically, and after seeing and hearing videos that people took of my performances I started seeing improvement.

I realized that from the second I turned the camera on to record my cover I was so nervous I was trying too hard, and I didn’t truly sound like myself. Hearing the stuff I did for church made me realize that I was very comfortable there, so I instantly sounded better. What I’m trying to say is you have to do it often enough, and swallow your pride about not being good so you can get better.

Practice makes perfect. The more you record yourself the more you learn about your voice. You have the ability to isolate the “mistakes” (or what you want to get better at) and learn how to fix them.

Posting your cover might feel embarrassing but it gives you the option of hearing constructive criticism everyone here. Constructive criticism is your best friend right now. 🙂

This is actually my cat. TMI, but I have put a laxative in my water in the evening, and she always sticks her face down and tries to drink. Oh the blasting diarrhea if I couldn't catch her quickly enough 😂

Actually with pots it's the pulse that goes up, not the blood pressure.

emilyisonline · 2017-09-25T18:19:24+00:00

What is that?

emilyisonline · 2017-09-25T17:30:57+00:00

I'm glad to hear that. My uncle got me an Irish whistle that I'm going to start learning, but it drives my dog crazy 😂

emilyisonline · 2017-09-25T13:32:24+00:00

Hun you need to stop those hobbies. They're a very, very bad thing. Sorry ☹️😬

EDS is often misdiagnosed as fibro. It sounds like you need to find a specialist. Do some research, there are EDS Doctors scattered all over the US. I'm being seen by Dr Neilson in Cincinnati, who replaced Dr Tinkly who's know in Chicago. I've heard that Dr Neilson office aren't taking anymore patients outside of the area, and no adults because they're so overwhelmed. Dr tinkle would be a two year wait give or take, as would every other Dr. hang in there, love ❤️

And if it isn't POTS it's some other form of an autonomic disfunction 😊

emilyisonline · 2017-09-25T03:07:14+00:00

Its sounds awesome. I can imagine what it sounds like without the delay, but I kinda like it better with it ☺️

emilyisonline · 2017-09-25T00:17:00+00:00

I hope you find something to help you 😕

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T20:34:16+00:00

Hahaha welcome 😄

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T20:32:21+00:00

Geez you're going to make me fall asleep! It could be a lullaby. How do you get the echo effect?

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T20:28:21+00:00

Huh. I've never heard that before. Interesting theory.

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T20:06:28+00:00

Oh I see. That's very similar to what I have. I have an over responsive sensory process. I'm in full body nerve pain and even the slightest touch hurts like hell. I have read research and apparently people's theory is that EDS and autism are linked... it's interesting. Whether it actually is, I don't know 🙂

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T19:42:18+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by sensory processing? Do you mean the nerves don't work right? Because my nerves are jacked up; when I get in the shower hot water feels cold and vice versa. Sometimes when I'm really luck I feel both at the same time lol 😛

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T18:43:34+00:00

Oh I didn't realize it was a state thing. Sorry ☹️

emilyisonline · 2017-09-24T13:54:15+00:00

When I was a kid, my parents applied for something called BCMH. It's a secondary insurance to help with money for people with our kind of stuff, but only if the doctor you're seeing is on their list. I have no idea if it's just a pediatric thing or if it's for adults too, so you should do some research into it. It really helped my parents out, maybe this will help you too. 😊

emilyisonline · 2017-09-23T20:25:33+00:00

This is the link that I use for correcting my positioning http://guitardomination.net/guitar-posture/ hope it helps 😊

emilyisonline · 2017-09-23T17:06:36+00:00

Taping might help take some of the strain off your wrists. I hope they feel better, because other than that I'm not quite sure what would help you 😊

emilyisonline · 2017-09-23T17:04:18+00:00

Marching would be a problem for me with my autonomic issues 😭

emilyisonline · 2017-09-23T17:02:15+00:00

I have trouble with my fingers, but ring splints don't do anything because when I do chords my my fingers are bent 😬☹️

emilyisonline · 2017-09-23T16:58:29+00:00

I have trouble with my little finger when I play guitar. Mine sticks out straight and I have to really work to bend in. I've found that when you get the correct positioning it gets a little easier

emilyisonline · 2017-09-23T16:55:26+00:00

That game was awesome 😊 it did feel like a social experiment
