Somatic vocal toning

My friend Forrest recently called me the world’s premiere gift horse mouth looker. Whenever I’m paid a compliment, I feel the need to explain myself. My debilitating anxiety prevents me from doing normal things, like choosing an ice cream flavor, folding my laundry, or falling in love. All I can do is whine, whimper, wail, mewl, moan, make a fuss. One way I shut myself up is through somatic vocal toning exercises. I close my eyes, fill my lungs with air, and slowly say “Vvvvvvvvoooooooooooommmmmmmooooooooooo.” The vibrations make me dizzy, dislodging me from consciousness as my heartbeat becomes a kick drum under my verbal drone, and for a moment, I feel blissfully stupid, detached from my self, fully present in my body. No thoughts. Head empty.

Singing in a baby voice

Singing in a falsetto baby voice makes everything better. Most things I write these days starts out in baby voice and only evolves into “normal” voice later. Think like alt-J guy singing voice meets Blossom Dearie meets Tiny Tim. Singing this way when writing makes everything cute and dumb (two unforgetabble tenets of all good art). Takes the edge off of when you’re trying to write super emo serious lyrics too and gives you perspective. Goo goo ga!

Making out in an isolated nook at the bar

So as not to be annoying to others and have a bit of privacy 💜 also works best when you’re totally infatuated (writing this three hours after doing this with someone)
