"Just becuase you used to be amazing doesn't mean you're not good." This is what by mest friend just said to me regarding singing. See, Dec 9, 2003 i was in a horrific car accident that nearly took my life several times over and left me in the hospital for 2 years. Everything about me has been affected, including my ability to sing. i used to be in a very well-known choir and had won a very prestigeous award for my voice. Well, i can't sing like i used to and it kills me. i REALLY do suck now. my best friend was trying to be nice and that was incredibly sweet of him. Just...i dunno what i think about it. i mean, i know he was trying to make me feel better, but i dunno if what he said made me feel better or not. i mean...i USED to be amazing...not anymore. i knwo that. It just hits hard. Jason is wonderful to me, thoiugh...such a dear, dear man for trying to make me feel better.

ouch..the accident sounded like it really sucked :( i would look for a vocal coach-and see what they can do for you,you may be able to be retrained. i had a friend who got his pipes back after being in a fire..it took awhile,but he did it. granted he couldn't go as high as he used to,but he still had a beautiful voice.

It was pretty bad. i only have about 30% lung function...so it is really hard for me. i used to coach vocals, so i know what to do. It is just a matter of being left alone to do it.
