Natalie, this post about believing in your own voice and the resonance of the message is a wonderful extension to your thoughts shared in a previous post about performing to the audience that gets you!

Thanks Fiona – I know you’ve suggested before that one of your biggest challenges is keeping the strength and exuberance and confidence of your vision and “voice” even when you’re not getting the feedback you need/want…

I think singing in the shower is about “singing as if no one is watching” and trying to capture that abandon in every moment – not just when you think you’re alone!

Hi Natalie

Loved your ’singing in the shower’ analogy. It really resonated with me (if you’ll pardon the pun!) As a freelance writer, there are plenty of times when I feel I’m ’singing’ to a room that simply absorbs my sound, and an ‘audience’ who isn’t interested in what I have to say.

But like you say, it’s a matter of maintaining enough self-belief to keep on ’singing’ each day, regardless of the feedback level.

Cheers
Fiona

I love that you have put your finger right on the button about trusting in the sound we make. To hold onto our “message” and know that it’s enough in less resonant spaces. To imagine that even in intimidating surroundings we can tap into that “carefreeness” we have in the privacy of our own shower cubicles and sing with abandon. The enhancement of amplification doesn’t make us hotter or have more beautiful voices. We are just fine as we are.

The bedroom that my daughters share has amazing acoustics, so I’m forever rockin the lullabyes!

Wow. This is *exactly* what I needed to read today.

I’ve been so preoccupied with pleasing my audience lately, I’d forgotten how to enjoy the resonance of my message. (blown away)

A million times, thank you. The reminder is just the medicine my heart needed.

And the shower thing? Totally guilty.
