huge problem No sound, vocal "timidence"
I need some help badley, have recently picked up a really bad and very frustrating habbit, kinda like trying to talk but nothing comming out, with my flute playing. I have to take a deap breath or several or even start of with a 'B' or 'G' before I can start to play anything. I'm very annoyed with myself more frustrated than anything else. Don't know where I have picked this bad habbit up from but I need some help on how to become more confident with my playing. Hard to explain as if my throat is closed but I have ample amount of air to sound but not able to produce any notes unless several breaths before hand. Kinda feel like a newb with this any suggestions or breathing techniques I can use to help me over come this.

Its kinda some prep breaths I would guess in that respect, I know I can hit the notes perfectly, but its a kind of stammer before the notes come out..... hard to explain. I'm teaching myself, no teacher as I cannot afford one. Kinda
