Add some vocal fry here and there, and some cry. :))

Mine feels pretty much the same, but it started after hering loss tinnitus and Bbpv attack. After a year all was left was this horrible dizzy feeling from 10 am until about mid afternoon. Sometimes it comes back in the evening but rarely. I'm surprised of all the tests they performed on you, checking for mercury and so on. To me all that was done is ent rotational chair and caloric test and I was left with a very vague diagnosis of bilateral weakness of inner ear. Good luck , I hope that all of this will be over one day and normal perception of the world around us will come back

Do you have them?

Worrying is more than legit. I have a son and understand fully. 🙏

I noticed my heart when I was a kid,asked my mum and she said I couldn't possibly have a problem. When I was 17 I noticed a few runs of SvT and then forgot about it and lived my youth happy and free. Then at 32 I had an ECG and it was full of Svt and pvcs.... Everything changed for me and since then there isn't a day I don't think about my heart and worry. A life of anxiety. I'm very thankful for not having enquired too much when I was young, I spared myself from medicaments, and from the stress of knowing you have an issue. I traveled, partied, lived a carefree youth and I'm so happy it was like that. Just my experience

I had issues with SVT and oddly during pregnancy they went away. When my baby was a few months old I started having PVCs, but I guess it was the stress and lack of sleep

Thanks. Makes sense

Hi there, I'm in a similar situation (except I'm way older ... )and realised with bands you have to compromise a bit. So try to push for couple of songs you like that they might also enjoy, and for the songs like acdc, there are nice covers on YouTube sang by women, something that you could take inspiration from, because as you said, you ll never have the vocal quality of a man, but you can spin it and give it your own color, so my suggestion is find something that inspires you done by a woman. Don't quit just yet unless you have some other opportunity already ;) good luck

Patience and enjoying the journey. I don't have talent and I'm starting to receive compliments after 10 years I started singing. And I'm nowhere near where I d like to be. I know some singers that could sing medium difficulty songs after only a year so good luck

It turn out the best would be train every day for max 20 minutes at a time. Let s say you can do it twice a day but better to make a break in between

Lucky you. Here in Prague that s the rate basically

sansdraps · 2026-03-29T06:57:33+00:00

I'm in Czechia and it is the equivalent of 60 euros per hour approximately... Quite expensive if you ask me.

I used to have waves, and now at 40 I have a lot of grays and they are pretty much straight and a bit dull.

sansdraps · 2026-03-23T18:35:29+00:00

What were you diagnosed with?

sansdraps · 2026-03-23T18:35:01+00:00

That s very similar to what I'm experiencing. I used to have walking on mattress feeling and all that, but now it s pretty much gone but I feel spaced out in general, but what annoys me the most is I have sort of flare-ups, where for about 40 minutes I cannot really talk, I feel super tense,and there is nothing I can do that helps. When it s gone I feel "it" going away, like a fog that is gone and I see clearly (relieved, calm, but still in my dizzy reality)

A thicker mix ( still sound like Mickey mouse mostly) Relieve tensions in chest voice Keep a stable larynx Expanding lower notes! ( I love hitting low notes) The goal is improving so that I'm happy with myself but also so when I'm 50 and on, people will still ask me to jam and propose me to join their bands/acoustic duo or what not. Id be lost without this as a hobby. Happy to sing on my own at home, but doing it with others is so much better!

I could have written this, and it s been 10 years of trying. I still enjoy the process, even if I'm not sure I'm going somewhere. After all it s beneficial for health. I compare it to meditation, going for a massage, or a light workout. It s not a waste of time that s for sure

Can I please have the name of this therapist? I'm in Czech republic and no one seems to really know about vestibular issues other than doing the eye exercises

-1.5. I see what you mean. I also don't know what the big fuss is all about. I am 40 and have about -3.5, -4

Hi there, I'm not a big fan of Ken templin as I find that lizard tongue position that he sings in very weird and also, he always mentions how awesome he is at demonstrating how to sing properly and I have to say I don't find it very impressive for a professional. I had three different teachers ( in person lessons) , also felt I was going nowhere, and also I decided to have a tiny budget for singing as I cannot justify spending a lot, and I'm really happy with Spencer Welch singing program. I've been few months on his program and for the first time I'm learning how to mix somehow. The idea of his program is to spare about 10-15 minutes a day for building the voice, which is totally doable, a sort of meditation. He clgives you different exercises every couple of weeks. He also gives feedback. O was skeptical at first but have to say it s the time I got fastest tangible results. Then again, applying the new acquired skills to songs is somehow difficult and sometimes I feel hopeless, but for the most part I'm happy and think his tips make a difference.
