How might imposter syndrome affect your ability to record and release your music? Well, that’s probably pretty self explanatory. But inside this week’s episode actually looks at how recording and production skills may offer women a way of overcoming this tricky phenomenon.
Isobel also unpacks what Imposter syndrome is, how it might affect people in the creative Industries and, more specifically, women in music too. FInally, Isobel tackles the biggest Imposter syndrome trap you still might fall into, even after getting some much needed recording and production know-how.
Girls Twiddling Knobs is hosted and produced by Isobel Anderson with production support from Jade Bailey and Francesca O’Connor and is a Female DIY Musician Production.
