In the musicals and choir things I’ve done in my life I’ve always heard directors talk about the “ugly voice”. They’re referring to when you’re singing not to try to just sound “pretty”.  Worry about the feeling behind the lyrics and expressing that, and in return let your voice come out however it does. Without censoring.

The last post published made me think of this. I have a great eample of this too.

Kate Bush – This womans work

 

Then the one everyone probably knows, The Maxwell Cover version.

 

The song becomes better.

 

Relating to design now. I was helping my friend with a project(well we were talking about it idk if I helped) , she goes to Parsons and is doing her thesis. She was telling me how they had to make it personal to them, which is basically just drawing from an inspiration. Making it meaningful, and not just art/design for art/design sake.
