      Years on and off. I just cannot comprehend the very basics at all. I literally do not understand anything, even though I’ve watched/listened to hundreds of lessons. I absolutely don’t even know how to begin and just CANNOT comprehend it

        Same. But it’s more neurological, than anatomical, then.

          No idea atp. I try to mimic the stuff the coaches are doing in their lessons and clips but I just don’t understand how

              This doesn’t work for me at all unfortunately. I’ve tried that many times, but I just can’t do it

                  Both I guess, I don’t understand how to translate these concepts into movements and vice versa

    its muscle training tho. you might not have the muscle development to actually hold ur larynx higher or know how to deploy certain muscles and relax others.

      Yeah, I am physically incapable of training these muscles. It simply does not work for me

          That’s like asking what issues you’re running into when you try to walk on water. It fundamentally doesn’t make sense or work. I simply cannot comprehend the very basics whatsoever, no matter how many lessons I watch or listen to or what exercises I try

            a comprehension issue isnt the same as an ability issue tho. i would concede if you actually had reasoning to believe you could not because you have like a super deep voice or super long vocal tract. i would say its like learning to wolf whistle, you keep trying with small adjustments until you get close to what you understand as a “better voice”, and refine from there. larynx lifting for me starting out (swallow and feel your adams apple go up, and keep it there) had me deploy a lot of muscles in my throat and tongue, which to where I sounded like Stitch trying to talk. It was practice to where I was using hums to try and keep the vibration in my nose or throat to where i didn’t sound like spongebob or a false falsetto. idk. i just want you to know it takes mountains of effort and sullying yourself for trying and failing won’t make you feel any better when your voice causes you distress still.

                yeah, i didn’t say it was easy. a lot of shit is hard, its what makes you appreciate reaching a goal. if it weren’t you wouldn’t care about doing it. i get it sucks to have to do things other people were just given but control over what you desire and actually reaching something you’re happy with is a lot more impressive than those people who just take their voice or whatever for granted. nothing’s stopping you from taking a break either if you are tired of dealing with failure either. you got this, girl. u could always get lessons too.
