One of the concepts that is we always strive for in music is creating Beauty through finding the most truthful or honest sound.
This is actually a bigger challenge than it might seem with the human voice. Over the years we tend to change or modify our voices as we mature. Usually based on what we hear in our own head, lliterally. How many men can say that they didn't try to force their voice lower when they were teens and it wasnt changing fast enough to a mature sound ? How many women tried to moderate their voice to sound sweet and feminine instead of a shrew? (I know I did!) In many ways isn't it part of the same social pressure to be pretty or handsome...or thin..?
However you managed to make it to an adult, finding different voices that use all of the systems that are in your body to enhance your sound is a lifes' work. Since your body is always changing and adapting there is a fresh challenge every day to manage. One thing is for sure, its never boring!
