Thank you, these are all great points.

I think a lot of these issues stem from the story behind the website. Selene (the voice in the clips) never intended to make a guide or course but rather was just saving clips from her lessons to have them on hand. Some of the clips are her responding to a specific question, some of the clips are entire lessons, most of them are named in a way that probably only makes sense to Selene lol. But then another person realised how valuable these clips are and tried to kind of, sort of make a guide out of the disorganised clip collection, and here we are.

I hope, eventually, someone with similar ability to demonstrate differences in sound and expressiveness as Selene makes an actual guide based on the same approach; whenever that happens, the website will immediately become obsolete in turn. Until then, I agree, something like L’s guide can be much better at orienting people, especially when all of the caveats about the mechanical approach I mentioned last time are understood. Unfortunately, trying to modulate your voice can get pretty desperate – I’ve personally seen people filming their throats with laryngoscopes in chase of that mythical OPC and injuring themselves by obsessing over larynx movements – so I personally find it hard to tell whether all of the issues with Selene’s archive outweigh its ability (and explicit intent) to teach people to explore their voices without ever thinking about the larynx.

P.S. The website is open-source. If anyone has ideas on how to organise its content better, please open an issue or PR. I kind of moved on from working on it myself but I’ve been forced to be the maintainer because nobody else stepped up.
