Voice Command

The hair is coming along but I know a weakness is my voice. I have been reluctant to practice because I do not want to sound foolish or to teach myself bad habits.

I have appointments with two different voice coaches coming up but experiencing delays in getting an appointment. One because of the delays associated with socialized medicine and the other caused by an in demand private practice.

I have experimented with recording my voice on my new iPhone and was relatively happy with the results. However, in the days leading up to going full time and in advance of my appointments I want to start practicing in earnest.

Does anyone know of any on line, mail order, books etc that they would recommend from personal experience?

Last Of Many?

Had a meeting with a locally published car magazine today to discuss partnership opportunities. I wore a suit, perhaps for the last time, there will likely be a few more face to face meetings before September but as more and more work is done "virtually" or just over the phone (there is that voice issue again) it could actually be a last time.

I guess there are lots of last times coming up and then a whole bunch of firsts after that. It is an odd thought, full of nostalgia but not regret. Kind of like hanging up an old suit of armour after a particularly bloody war.

Hugs,

April
