Carla helped me finally start to make progress
I really enjoyed lessons with Carla. It was tough at first because I tried taking lessons once before years ago and it didn't go too well, or equip me with tools to actually grow and learn. But slowly over time, I started to become more comfortable singing for the group. Then I started to ask questions. Then I started (the beginnings) of learning how to recognize what my body was doing as I sang, and in turn, how to better utilize my natural instrument. I have to take some time off for a period but today, something she shared coulnd't have been more timely... After I finished singing, she said, "I really like your head voice, but that doesn't matter. What matters is if you like it. Many people don't like their voice and that can be what stops them from improving. So I want you to spend some time, aside from the exercises, observing and considering what you think and believe about your own voice. Because you need to accept it. It may be different than you expected, and that's ok. That's where you are for now, and it's good."
