World is Backward
More than vocal technique, how do we communicate emotion? I want to be a pure copper wire between the song and the audience, where my voice tells the story truthfully every time I sing. How does stress affect you? How do you prepare? How do you do a show if you're feeling under par? Does your mind wander while you're singing? Can you fake the feeling? Can you practice to be vocally and emotionally present? I'd like to share experiences and to discuss the sounds we make and love.
