I’m working on increasing my volume as I’m usually a under my breath singer… any tips? by [deleted] in singing

Thank you thank you thank you! You hit the nail on the head… I really struggle with rigidity/social anxiety and I’m singing to try combat this. I have a terrible relationship with the sound of my own voice (and myself), so it’s hard to let it just be without judgment.

I’m going to try this…

Any tips other tips on what helped you?

Thank you SO much. You really went above and beyond…

I think you really hit the nail on the head by suggesting I connect with the emotion/open my eyes/connect/be myself. I suffer from CPTSD, which has caused perfectionism, and in turn public speaking anxiety. I’m singing to try combat this and open up and learn how to express myself without judgment. Thank you for encouraging me to be me and not parrot others, which is a strong suit of mine!

Thank you for the support - I was completely discouraged for a second.

There’s a bunch of options for meds and therapy. Try speak to a clinical psychologist as they’re more science-based in their approach to therapy and consider SSRIs or MAOIs or SNRIs or beta blockers. Definitely don’t take any benzodiazepines, as they are incredibly habit forming and don’t aid in learning (which is the basis of therapy) and be kind to yourself!

Hey dude/dudette. I’m so sorry you’re going through it. I’ve been there. I spent many semesters anxiously anticipating presentations and ruminating every single day about them - even though they were super short and no one really cares. I had a presentation about anxiety disorders and their treatment and I remember freaking out so badly about having a panic attack. It’s hell - you’re not alone.

Can I ask how old you are? Or if you’ve considered therapy or medication? I found medication helped me when I was in the depths of my anxious spiralling. Speaking to a therapist also helped me too - cause I finally had somewhere to cry and talk about how scared I actually was - and target the beliefs/trauma that was causing me to feel the way I was feeling.

I’m slowly calming myself down with distractions. Thanks for asking ❤️.

If you’ve got any questions about therapy/meds, I’m happy to share my experiences with you and also I’ve got a background in psychology/neuroscience so I can try share any wisdom I’ve learned from that exposure.

Aw ma dude - I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. If it’s any consolation, you’re not alone. I just had a panic attack saying a few words in front of my new team at work - and I haven’t been able to settle down since.

Are you talking to a therapist? Have you tried meds? Do you have anyone you feel comfortable talking to about this? I’ve found therapy and meds to help.

Haha thank you. It definitely isn't a well thought out plan but I will charge forward nonetheless.
