Thanks very much. That wasn't clear to me in your first
post.

This part isn't quite as clear to me.

I must say that to post suggestions about articulation
then waiting for another sample to be posted, etc.
etc., rather than phone coaching in real time would
seem to be very time consuming, be it paid or not, and
if paid, due to the extra time involved, could be quite
expensive.

Perhaps I'm still misunderstanding how this would work.

...by posting... where?

Yes it is. Absolutely!

There is anonymity vis a vis the online community, but
confidentiality in relationship with me, and that is
something I honor assiduously, as a professional Adult
Sexuality Educator and member of the American
Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and
Therapists - www.aasect.org.

This is also true of telephone coaching.

I really appreciate your concerns about that, including
your concerns for your fellow community members!

That said, as I mentioned before, for me to attempt to
render in written form the correct articulation of the
Key Sound, without the person's benefit of my modeling
for them again in a manner they can actually hear the
difference, or my taking the time to model it, with the
time lags of the post-reply-post-reply sequences (known
as asynchronous communication) would be very time
consuming for that individual and for me, especially
since I already work 50 hours or more per week in
support of this site and this community.

My next birthday in May, I'll be 60 years old. I need
to be reasonable and prudent about my personal
capacities.

By contrast, the phone consultations (a form of
communication known as synchronous in contrast to
asynchronous), are highly efficient, not nearly as time
consuming for either party, and nearly always quite
effective, as attested to in our most recent chat by
community member: vamale4you.

Just a thought - re: need for anonymity in relationship
to me, versus confidentiality - are you by any chance
saying that this might be an issue for your personally?

I really appreciate your kind intentions on both counts.

However, as I mentioned above... in effect, typing
takes me a lot longer than talking, so I'm not
understanding how typing, plus keeping track of
continuity between the time gaps of the asynchronous
back and forth, would be more efficient.

Also, frankly, I really enjoy the opportunity to
actually speak with the individual - since we both then
have the opportunity to hear the quality of the other's
personality, etc.

In Marshall McLuhan's terms - asynchronous
communication is cool (not in the sense of groovy,
though - although there is some of that) while realtime
back-and-forth with all of the nuances of vocal tone,
etc., is hot, that is, very high bandwidth.

Yes there is some variation as to tone especially by
gender, but actually much less than you might imagine.
For example, you may think you are articulating
correctly, yet how do you know for sure?

That's why I am making the offer of additional free
time to listen to your sample - and to everyone's brief
sample to let you and them know whether or not you
are indeed within the parameters I know to be necessary.

Then to answer the question: How is it off the signal
line? What parts need to change? That will require
realtime back and forth between me and the individual
as they learn how to relax enough, etc. to bring their
sound into the requisite range.

I look forward to hearing from them! However even if
someone considers themself an adept, for me, the
question remains - what more might they gain by
articulating the Key Sound truly within the specified
range that I know for sure really opens the floodgates?

Thank you very much for your support in that.

It seems to me that my offer of free validation of Key
Sound samples (up to five examples delivered in one
upload) would meet that criterion.

Once my programmer has the area set up as I described,
then I will not only announce it and offer it to our existing
community, but include it as yet another benefit
included upon purchase of the introductory seminar.

Thank you very much for your appreciation - it does
indeed mean a great deal to me!

RE: Your being an ideas guy, I appreciate that as well,
very much! And that invitation goes to all members of
our online community as to how to improve services.

As I said in my first reply to you: I really appreciate
your bringing up this idea, as you have indeed inspired
and motivated me to create a new enhancement to the
coaching service, and have made it easier (i.e. free)
for all of our online community members to find out
directly from me if they are indeed articulating the
Key Sound correctly or not.

Thank you again, very much, for your generous efforts
and commitment to improving this learning experience
for everyone!

Wishing you the very best that life has to offer,
Jack
