This is soooo brave (in my view) Singing alone, without music or other singers... wow. I really like it. A am a trained dancer and have nor problem dancing or playing or speaking in front of a bif audiance (yes I am a little nervous, but its more a good energetic exitement) but singing or plying music in front of an audiance - ohhhh no.. i think i have to melt or dy of shame. I am not absolutel sure, why I perceive making music in front of other as so tough? But I really like your story of reclaiming your voice. I am ages behind and already happy/satisfied if I dare to sing with outhers in a chorus or when I am alone with my guitar. Singing (and for me also playing an insturment) is tight so strongly with deepest emotions... I cannot distance myself from it as I am able to do in other art forms like dance or painting.
Thank you for sharing your journey
