When someone doesn’t like what you do, it can make you wobble and start to doubt whether you’re any good.
But not everyone is going to like what you have to offer. Once you accept that, it’s easier to move on.
Someone might say they don’t like the sound of your singing voice; or how you lead warm-ups; or your choice of repertoire; or how you conduct; or how you interpret a song; or the way you teach songs; or your vocal mannerisms.
But that’s the way you do it. It’s what makes you unique. Just because it’s not to somebody else’s taste, doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong or that you’re bad at it.
You don’t need to change what you do just to satisfy others. There are plenty of other singers or choir leaders out there to cater to every taste.
So don’t let it undermine your confidence. Just keep on being you.
