You find your voice by joining the choir.
Austin Kleon, Show Your Work
I believe the original reference was meant to encourage artists to be inspired by the work of other artists, read widely on their chosen medium and collaborate with others. However, I feel as though I have found my voice by joining an actual choir. In my high school choir days, I was so afraid of singing a wrong note, that I sang quietly before being encouraged by my fellow altos to lose my timidity. Nowadays I sing out loud, a quality which has also translated to my real life and work, sharing the things that are most important to me.
