Find your voice.
Jo Estill quote: “More people want to sing than do sing.”
I was having a blood test one day, the nurse asked me what I do... “I’m a singer and singing teacher.” She said, "I could never sing." I replied, "Well I could never take blood and do what you’re doing, 'cos I haven’t learnt how to do it." She was most happy with my comparison.
We came to the resolve that it's what you spend time doing that makes you better at it. Innate talent is advantageous but not the be all and end all.
As my PT says, “'Time in the movement'” is what improves skill."
