POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This post isn’t just about who I’m not anymore but also who I’m becoming. Making “better” decisions, “better” habits… it took a lot out of me.

I think it’s safe to say a handful of us are perfectionists and in someways it’s helpful. However, this trait can be *quite* dangerous.

One thing leads to another and your frustration over something out of your control, outside of your current technical tools leads to bad habits, bad decisions and a bad mental wellbeing that loops around you unwilling to let go, haunting you behind each technical hurdle.

So this post isn’t a boast to say “look how far I’ve come”It’s a reminder that the singer life was NEVER easy. And we can’t sugarcoat it, we don’t speak about this side nearly enough. This post is a reminder that you are not alone in this, *every* singer has their challenges even if it doesn’t seem like it, we are all going through it ❤️‍🩹

Until next time lovelies 💋

Leoni

Your feelings are a source of artistry—not the entire power supply. That battery drains quickly. Save this post for when you need it.

See you soon lovelies.

Singing slump anyone?? 😕

Apologies, bad practice sessions drive me to insanity. I’m a growth retention freak.

Now that I listen back to this video tho I’ve realised how much my voice has changed since my first year, it’s a lot more consistent. Familiarity makes you blind to progress 🥲

Serving absolutely none of the expected opera singer stereotypes.

And that’s the point — you don’t have to look, sound, or be like everyone else to belong here.

There’s room for you. 🍵

Besitos my lovelies 💋

Was this an excuse to use 67…. Maybe.

And that’s on “whistle register”.
