Quote from: NatalieRene on January 14, 2025, 03:06:37 PMI know my voice is passable. I'm super happy to have a passable voice but I'm sure with enough practice and meditation others can manage it too.
What you said is inspiring, it gives me hope that I can achieve it too. Your words are so uplifting and full of encouragement for others.
QuoteI had to go through speech therapy in elementary school before of the ear infections I had. I guess I got used to having to focus on adjusting speech patterns. But it's just repetitive training. Reading the same thing over and over and over again.
Ouch, it sounds like there was a silver lining at the start of the experience, evolving into a lovely female voice as demonstrated in your video. Perhaps it's true that some things happen for a reason. Nonetheless, I just want to say I'm sorry you had to go through an ear infection in elementary school.
QuoteWhen I was training first they had me practice moving my voice up from my chest to my mouth. Then they worked on inflection. Then resonance. Then putting it all together. Practicing changing emphasis with tone and not volume level. Practice on moving emphasis around in the sentence to change the meaning.
This is cool. I can start here, break the problem into smaller parts, and focus on improving one step at a time. Once I've made progress with each part, I can work on practicing everything as a whole.Thank you so much for this, Natalie.
QuoteSometimes it was even just going through a list of words and saying them ten times to get used to saying the word. That part really reminding me of speech therapy when I was a kid.
Aha, working on this list later this evening when I get home.
