Really interesting reading your story and journey Toby.
“Mr Monotone” or being all over the place - that’s me. I listened again to your Aerosmith cover, focusing on your vocals this time, and yes you can sing now. So it is possible to get better even after a lifetime of not singing well. Quite encouraging. That’s kind of what I was looking for honestly. I feel it’s one thing to be able to sing and then improve to get better; it’s something else entirely to go from not hitting the notes at all to be able to hit them. Which is the journey you went on.
Thanks Trond, I’m not trying to be hard on myself, just reflective and to figure out what is possible. I’m definitely not one who gets down on himself, more likely someone who’s always trying to improve and likes to look in the cold, hard mirror under unflattering lighting to see what’s real. Good to hear you’ve noticed some improvements already - means that what I’ve been doing so far has made a bit of a difference.
