If we're afraid to stand in our own skin with those we work with, then how do we lead those who have no voice at all?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just want my career to be ran a certain way. When you get the sense it's not, that your voice is not being heard, then, unfortunately, you have to do certain things to make a stand to fight what you believe in, even if you do have to sacrifice time.
If you don't have a voice that forces you back to basics, you're a dangerous person. Or, to put it another way, you're at risk, and the people with you are at risk.
I feel like you come in under a cloak of someone else's skin for a while, but then you can shrug it off - you have to find your own voice, if you want to keep doing it. That became a really conscious thing for me.
I want people to be able to give their voice.
I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of, 'What else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
If you imagine yourself to be someone who is very uncomfortable in their own skin, then it does funny things to your voice.
Trying to give an individual a voice has always kind of been my mission in my life. As an actor, I've always seen that was something that needed to be done. You need to find that voice inside of you so that you can stand up and be who you really are.
I see no reason to keep silent about my enjoyment of the sound of my own voice as I work.
We live in a very disposable society, and people want everything right away, but unfortunately, vocal technique doesn't come overnight.
Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes.
