I record songs more often than I post them.🙊
The thing that often holds me back from posting is seeing my face making funny shapes when singing and mostly seeing my singing double chin immortalised on camera. 😱😱😱
I genuinely don't care about that in person AT ALL, because the song is fluid and moving through me and I'm only focussed on being present and singing.
But it feels challenging when it comes to uploading it to a site like this, which is all about aesthetics and how things look.
I have moved through many iterations of my voice and acceptance of how my voice actually sounds, and guided many others in the process too. When things like this pop up, I remember how many barriers we all grapple with when it comes to sharing our voices.
Especially facking annoying when these barriers are about not meeting ridiculous unmeetable beauty standards set by our 'unhinged, corporate focused, male gaze centred' world. Where you worth as a woman putting herself out there is overwhelmingly defined by your looks and not by how you use your voice.
Which is exactly the opposite of what i believe and what I'm teaching...🙄 We need our own medicine sometimes eh.
Many layers, much conditioning, much witnessing. Kisses ❤️

Ps. This is not a pity post about my face, I know I have a nice face, just expressing my human-ness ya know 😍
