You say what ?

Wow ….. guess what ….. now that we’re into the Summer Schedule here at AmyNews.com 🙂 wb ……. on occasion, you get to read about all things Implementation ….. which I’m really not too crazy about even documenting …. ’cause it’s really boring I think ….

I mean, seriously, I’m not at all into 96.1% of the things that go with Implementation ….. I just kinda consider it part of treatment …..

For example, if I had blown out a knee and had to go through all sorts of therapy to get it back in work order, I’m really not sure I’d be documenting too much of the detail of each step and muscle stretch I’d be going through ….

Instead …… I’d be telling you all sorts of stuff about the hot physical therapist helping with my recovery !! 🙂

Likewise, I’m not too inclined to dwell on the mechanics of what I’m doing with each step of my recovery …..

Oh sure, someplace I’ll document all the stuff/steps/acts I’ve done, just to track them myself, but I can’t imagine it’s really interesting to anyone ……

But since at the current time I don’t have a pt sweetie to tell you all about …. and since my post in waiting is another Movie Review ……. I’m going to blab about one of the mechanics (no, not code, I don’t do mechanics, ugh to grease) I’m dealing with now ….. but rest assured, I won’t do it too much 🙂

Right now,

Today …..

My Voice ….

Totally sucks !

Now, that’s not saying that it’s not passable at times, it definitely works on a limited release basis (don’t forget, I do amuse the bejeebers outta myself torking people who work the drive thru window) ….

But I just don’t like it and currently find it totally unacceptable ….. it’s very nasal ….. and just doesn’t deliver the way I expect myself to implement ….

Talking is me, it’s a core part of my identity and I’m not about to stop talking …….

I deliver comments, communicate ….. with subtle (WE) sarcasm, jokes, insinuations ….. that are passed with voice inflections …..

Yet at this time, I don’t have the necessary control …. nor an acceptable voice just yet …. to accomplish my communication goals.

So I’m working my smart-ass off like crazy on the issue ….. ’cause in my humble opinion :P, I think voice is the most telling tell, yet something that with just dedication and practice (and very little $$$ for a nice change of pace), can become incredibly feminine and firm up an acceptable pass rate.

And just for you voice dweebs out there …..

I’ve tried them all …. Andrea’s DVD, Melanie’s Tape, Amy C’s webpage, I belong to the Voice TS forum…. and I practice ….. practice …. practice ….. I have a morning routine I do for about 30 minutes, practice throughout the day whenever I’m in the car alone, and I have an evening routine I do for about 30 minutes each day too.

But the way I usually get to my “voice” still ….. is starting out with the Wicked Witch from The West (I don’t have to do the whole voice now, but still think of it that way) ….. and relax back from there …..

Totally odd and goofy …..

‘Cause I’m constantly catching myself muttering ……

“Come here my little pretties !!!!”

Hey … is that from The Wizard of Oz or Hanzel and Grettel ??

Oh well …. it works.
