      Clearly a case of imposter syndrome :D

      For guitars or synths or everything else you can just get whatever sound you want if you try hard or long enough but with vocals you sometimes just dont have a certain sounds and cant recreate it yourself and that feels bad honestly

      @@flower-fauna I believe you’re spot on. We as creatives have so many ideas for how we want to use our voice but when it comes down to it, our voice is distinct in all of its ranges and especially when you’re younger and don’t quite know your voice yet it’s hard to like it. Just takes years to write good songs that express your voice how you want. 😄

    I was playing in a punk band and we're not good. People often told me that we suck right in my face. And after some time I found a reason for myself why we should keep playing even if we know that we are not the best band. I thought that maybe some kids in the crowd will think to themselves: "man this band sucks.. but they are on stage... Maybe I can do that too?.."
    And maybe we can inspire someone to finally play some music.

    Andrew: I'm a middle school voice teacher and choir director. Arguably of the age range when people are most at risk to stop singing due to self consciousness and thinking they're no good, thinking their voice is bad, etc. This topic is of the utmost importance to all singers and especially educators - thank you so much. I will be showing this video to my classes when school resumes next week. I also tweeted this video out a few minutes ago. I hope many of my colleagues see it and spread the message. Sing anyway 💪

    I don't really like my singing voice for the most part and I definitely prefer to work with other vocalists. But I did find when my first child was born, just for me personally, it removed a lot of the apprehension I felt towards singing, just because babies don't care if you're in tune or technically proficient; you can see that connection just from the sound of your voice, and it doesn't matter if it's 'good.'

Anyone who says such things like "OMG stop singing your voice sucks" can f*** right off.

    Errr, I don't know what they're on about. Your singing sounds beautiful, Andrew. ✨ People love to project their own fears and inhibitions onto other people. I try to remind myself of that as often as I can. On a side note, I thought the TLM 103 was the best in this setting too. Sounded gorge. 💖

  • @TowelGard

    I never would have thought that you felt this way. I think back to the Songs To Wear Pants To days, and how none of that would have come to be if you didn't overcome your fears and just sing. You've been an inspiration for a long time, and this adds to that. For me, it's art. I've loved to draw since I was a kid but I always hid it. As I grew up it felt more and more like I should just move on, because people look down on wanting to pursue an artistic career. I recently turned 30 and I'm just now breaking free of those feelings and while I wish I had started sooner, I know it's just that I'm on a different journey than most people. If you see this, thanks again for putting yourself out there; it has made a difference for me.

    Thank you for sharing, Andrew. It was quite moving to hear you express your fears. As a small independent musician myself, I struggle immensely with sharing my music with a wider audience because I am terrified of what people would think of my voice. So to hear a talented producer/vocalist as yourself having the same fears, actively overcoming them and continue making his dreams a reality, is so inspiring. Keep on making what you desire Andrew and you'll be remembered for your vision. I hope I can one day be there as well, but I am working on it slowly. All the best!
