Post therapy:
As a quiet introverted person I have always had some difficulty talking to people. The prospect of having to do so with a female voice filled me with dread! I needed a friendly, understanding, reassuring, confident but ‘strict enough’ teacher to help me get the job done. Celia is exactly that. She naturally puts people at ease with her vibrant personality which eases tension and instills confidence in her abilities.
I started off being embarrassed to look at myself in a mirror and try to sound female (which isn’t part of the training). Now I can look myself squarely in the eye and play with my voice! I feel more confident now about presenting myself in a feminine way. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders!
Celia was the first person, apart from my partner, that I felt comfortable presenting myself to in a feminine way. That alone has also helped me to become more confident.
As with everything, as long as you put in the effort to practice every day you will achieve the desired result.
I will miss our fortnightly voice lessons, which includes an obligatory weather report 🙂 And I shall never forget that ‘My mother makes marvellous marmalade.’ 🙂
