Today in a fit of introspection, I pondered my singing voice after receiving what I consider to be the highest compliment ever: that I sound similar to one of my favourite artists. I've heard this before and I'm sure there's much emulation there, mixed in with a natural affinity, but as part of my current introspective jaunt I've been seriously pondering the potential of my voice, both speaking and singing, and this had me thinking further - all part of knowing one's own limitations & degrees of personal power.In the comparison I can hear similarities, but objectively comparing one's own voice to another is one of the most difficult skills to master, so in this I really do rely on the opinion of others.
Still, I wonder if anyone's ever heard their own voice and thought, "wow, I sound fantastic!"... while indeed actually sounding fantastic.
If only...
