Christella Antoni explains that negative comments about someone’s voice, especially in childhood, can create a distorted perception of how they sound, even when their voice is actually normal. She suggests that a therapeutic outlet, along with exercises and coaching, can help people develop a more accurate perception of their voice. Ultimately, they emphasise that while voice work can improve sound, there also needs to be acceptance of one’s voice—both the version someone is trying to change and the voice they end up with.
