Everything — phases, routines, week numbers — counts forward from this date. Pick the day you began, or today if you are starting now.

Daily routine

Today's log

Voice load matters as much as practice. On heavy-talking days, do breath work and skip the phonation.

Read the same test passage every week. Record it here, or attach an audio file you recorded through your own chain — the file stays on this computer.

Notes

Entries

Newest first. The baseline stays pinned so every comparison has the same reference point.

Composite score by week

The average of your five self-ratings on each weekly test passage, 1–5. Slow and uneven is normal; the line only has to trend.

By dimension

Pace and pausing usually move first; warmth is the slowest. Watch for one dimension sliding while you concentrate on another.

Practice consistency last 12 weeks

Each column is a week, each square a day, shaded by minutes practiced.

Milestones

The one-time items. The week numbers are earliest sensible, not deadlines.

The target, honestly described

Three things stack to make the sound you are chasing, and they are not equally available to you.

Delivery — pace, pausing, inflection, restraint. About half the effect, entirely learnable.
The recording chain — microphone, room, light processing. A large share of the perceived depth, available within a week.
Anatomy and age — the smallest share, and the only part you cannot change.

Aim for Coyote's style in your voice, not an impersonation. Forcing is how people injure themselves.

Vocal health

Hydration — through the day, not a sip before recording. Steam or a humidifier in dry months.
Reflux — the most overlooked cause of morning roughness and throat-clearing. Late meals and alcohol are the usual culprits.
Sleep — a tired body makes a tired voice, and technique does not compensate.
Throat-clearing — swallow or sip instead; clearing perpetuates the irritation that prompted it.
Do not chase the gravel — deliberate fry is a fatigue pattern, not a style.

Hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or a lump-in-the-throat sensation lasting more than two weeks warrants an ENT visit — not more practice. This tracker will flag it if you log rough mornings consistently.

Where your data lives

Everything — daily logs, ratings, audio — is stored in this browser's IndexedDB on this computer. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, and no network connection is used.

Storage is tied to this browser on this machine. A different browser, a private window, or clearing site data will not see it. Export a backup periodically — that file is yours and restores anywhere.
