I am trying to help someone. Are there any books or programs available for the duel or separate problems of social phobia and/or increasing awareness or training in voice modulation/facial expressions. This person has both social phobia where they freeze up in small groups or gatherings or in singing solo. The individual wants to take vocal lessons since said individual sings well and has no problems singing in a choir. X can't talk to people almost at all unless it is someone X knows well or in a professional situation. X also has problems in that people think X speaks in monotone whereas X who has much more sensitive hearing doesn't think so. Finally X has lack of awareness of facial looks that makes people think X is angry or unhappy when X is just serious. This is not a child so baby programs wouldn't work. Seeing a therapist is very difficult so I thought I might be able to recommend something else to help.
