I sang my first duet in 8th grade graduation....greensleves. And in HS I greatly admired a fellow singer and her voice. She sang a short solo in a negro spiritual song and when I got to Jr. college the song came up to be sung at a very large audience in the gym. I volunteered for it....100s of students and parents out there and I actually got it out, then afterwards I was shaking so much I could hardly finish singing with the rest. But I also used to sing around the piano bars.
Just curious ........do you have any lung problems? I have COPD, specifically bronchiectasis. The last 18 mos the coughing had become so bad that I could hardly talk on the phone for 3 min. without starting to cough. It made for very short conversations. I learned about NAC and have been taking it for about 6 weeks and what a difference. I only cough in the mornings, trying to get up the mucous. I think it’s also helped dry up my nose which when you think about it, it can affect your throat. And.......I’ve tried out my voice......it’s much lower than when I was a teenager but I can sing a little in the shower. LOL
