Voice is one of the fundamental features of the modern human self expression and people often experience a range of emotions while working with the voice. Emotions arise from the body, but the mind is very quick to contextualize these emotional impulses. Therefore our mind can create an illusory trap limiting our ability with our voice to function with full capacity. This illusory mind trap is there for a reason. Human mind was evolved during the time our ancestors were still hunter-gatherers on the African savanna. Our mind still works to protect us on situations when we feel insecure or threatened, whether it is the actual reality. Social anxiety is just as strong as our fear for physical danger. Our mind gives the same impulses whether we are facing an angry lion or an hungry audience. Insecurity of our own self can be a real limitation for the true capacities in situations when we fear for losing our social status, failure or public shaming. Poor self-esteem caused by traumatic past, neural diversity or other limiting qualities of our mind can stop us from reaching our goals.
