Re: Mental illness general Anxiety Affecting my voice. 2 years of training gone.
sorry to hear about your mental health struggle. while i don't have experience with this particular situation, i can say this much:
it won't have all been for nothing, you will still have built muscle and muscle memory. yes it might have gotten a bit rusty in the forced break but not completely vanished. the ambitions you have in combination with the current frustrations will probably add tension.
what people should do after longer breaks (with any physical activity really), is start small and not go back to where they left off. this is where you get frustrated and/or injured. think of someone who lifted weights, say benchpressed 100kg, he has a long break from an illness and goes back to the same weight he used before the break, is that a good idea? no. much better to use a smaller weight and then slightly go up as you get comfortable again. will it take this person as long as he originally needed to get to 100kg? probably not. the muscles have been there and the brain tissue to go with it. they will need some refreshing but it will be faster than starting from zero.
so in your case, i suggest, be gentle, go to the starters for a few days, vol 1 for a bit and see how this goes. remember to reduce the sound pressure for good bridging and be gentle overall. you will see that you can move forward to vol 2 and 3 in no time, but don't rush it or compare your "now" with the "before". at some point you will have caught up and improve beyond your "before".
all the best for you

Hang - Matchbox 20 Cover
Hey all,
It's been way to long since I posted something, so am kicking off the year with a Matchbox 20 cover of the song Hang, one of my favs of theirs.

Re: In what order do I proceed with the course?
I figured it out! PDF files with instructions were in the usb drive, which came with the course, and that explained it to me. Apparently this is the 2.0 program, and includes the Pro Packs.

This thing called ping
Halloo...I've searched the forums and I'm still not getting what 'ping' is. I just bought the Voice Repair program and he mentions how 'ping is king' but doesn't describe or show what ping is. Does he have a video about it or would some brave soul be willing to record yourself showing the concept/goal so we can have an audio of it? TIA
