So glad you found support here, Preety, you deserve that

@Preety_India Oh I'm the same, I used to record music with my mate and it'd just be excruciating to listen to myself back at first, good Lord ?

But is spirituality done with you? Love this, completely agree This is what it boils down to in the end, I think.

Yeah, I like your voice a lot

@Preety_India You're very welcome

Oh wow, Preety, you've got a nice voice Quite a challenging song to sing, too. I'd echo what @Applegarden8 said, particularly about breathing technique - correct breathing is such a big a part of singing.

@Preety_India I'm just about to go to bed just now, but I will do tomorrow

@Gianna So funny!! You crossed my mind as I was posting the thread, funnily enough, I wondered if you might find it useful I'll have to give Leo's video a watch too, I'm sure he has some illuminating things to say on the subject

The video below just came up in my Youtube recommendations and I found it very informative, so figured I'd share it here for anyone who's interested:

Not being beautiful, I can only speculate - but I imagine you'd get lots of unwanted attention for a start, plus people are liable to have all sorts of preconceptions about you (like you're just a pretty face, for example) and will struggle to see past your physical beauty. I know it might seem like a great blessing to be beautiful, but it seems to me that it's very much a double-edged sword.

@Natasha And what's worse, now you're the designated pissing driver

Yeah, that's how I've started to feel about it, too - it was initially hugely frustrating, but then I started to think it was actually a blessing in disguise. Coming on here can become an addiction like anything else.

Speaking for the majority of the forum there, I suspect ?

@Giulio Bevilacqua Good plan

As perverse as it might sound, the fact the pain got worse could actually be a sign that it's working - it often gets worse before it gets better.

I'm noticing more activity in the upper part of my chest at the moment, which is a new development as far as I can remember - it's the familiar dynamic of energy meeting resistance, which then stirs up feelings of upset, frustration, and anger. I've been feeling very irritable around people the past couple of days, I find myself wanting to snap at the smallest thing though thankfully I have just enough self-control and good sense to know that a) it isn't warranted, and b) it won't help matters (quite the opposite, it'll just create complications). I'd say I should invest in a punching bag to release some of the frustration, but that feels like too much effort at the moment quite frankly, I doubt I'd make a dent in it Boy, trust really is such a big word I've found. It feels sometimes like armies are massing on the northern and southern borders of my heart, and it's been pretty well established by now that fighting a war on two fronts is a fool's errand, so it feels like I'm - hmm, what's the technical term? Oh yes, that's right - fucked. I know there's no use grousing about it. Doesn't stop me, mind, but, y'know, I'm only human.
