<< To get the most out of your voice you must maximize its resonance, which may mean resonating some vowels in ways you normally wouldn't in speech (this is a big subject not easily explainable). Also, if something sounds big to you (loud in your head) that may be because you are resonating in such a way as to make it sound big *in your head*. It may have little relation to what others hear. >>
john,
this is an excellent example of just how different things on the inside can sound from things on the outside and, i think, yet another excellent reason to use tape. however, in your other recent post you seem to be advising against the use of taping for its lack of depth.
i agree that taping oneself is not ideal however, we have only two choices; use it or not. if we're going to use it, i say we need to use it often. the more we use it, the more we develope an expertise in using it as a tool. and, after a while, we become immune to the 'i hate my voice' syndrome.
what do you think of having reference sounds in the background, like the piano accompaniment? one could hear how the tape affects the piano and assume that something similar happens to one's voice.
