I'm Finally Starting to Like My Voice
Over the last couple weeks finishing "Settle Down", I had breakthroughs that showed me I'm on the right path - both doing and teaching.
I finally broke through the problem of listening to my music as an insecure artist.
My insecurity? My voice. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it either. My favorite singers - Mike Patton, Chester Bennington, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell - are some of the all-time greats.
Two realizations hit me:
First - I was comparing myself to the elite of the elite. Recipe for failure. And proof? My songs sat primarily for that reason. "Voice not good enough" despite fronting multiple regionally successful bands.
Second - I needed to change the lens. I've worked with elite vocalists. I've worked with ones where I redesigned entire melodies to make them palatable. When I stepped back and listened to my music as a producer, not a musician, I realized how much time I wasted.
I'm actually starting to like my voice. Never thought I'd say that.
If you're struggling with your voice, an instrument, or anything else - how you feel now isn't how you'll feel later. Know where you're going. Don't give up too early.
