I finally got around to seeing “I Saw The TV Glow”, and it definitely lived up to the hype.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Kinda yeah, one thing I found nice about L’s was how structured and ordered it was. It gave you specific things to focus on before moving onto the next thing once you felt comfortable. And in so doing it was able to introduce new concepts as they became relevant which allowed for an easier learning experience. You did just Pitch and then learned what Resonance is and focused on just that and so on. It atomises the process of learning in a way that’s less overwhelming
While I understand it’s a difference of the approaches, where this one is a lot more open ended and wants you to work on multiple things at once, it means that, for instance, I don’t really have an obvious “start” point. Sure size and weight come up first, but I won’t understand why I should do those two first over the other voice clips until after I’ve already been training a while, which I think is pretty discouraging. Personally I know why it sets those first, like I said I have previous experience with this stuff, but even with that experience I feel almost aimless right now in a way I never did while using L’s.
I’d also add while I’m at it, I’m more of a textual learner, and so the audio focus of the method is kinda harder for me. The amount of times I need to relisten to an instruction when I know if it was written out I’d have understood it immediately is quite high. I get that it’s a huge part of this method though, since it’s all about learning to identify and replicate the sounds, so listening to clips is very much necessary. It’s just another small bit though that’s quite noticeable, I’m probably gonna just start writing notes to compensate.
Edit: Also, using all the jargon without explaining any means that anyone without some sort of voice background isn’t going to understand it until they get further in, which is discouraging

That makes sense, hopefully it happens, in the meanwhile this is still definitely very helpful. Just not as structured as what I’m used to.
You will have to pry my larynx movements and swallow hold from my cold, probably suffocated, dead hands though
