DAY # 30 THE FINAL DAY OF THE CHALLENGE!!!
WOW!!!I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS THE FINAL DAY OF THE CHALLENGE!!! THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN EYE-OPENNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. NOT ONLY HAS THE CHALLENGE PUSHED ME VOCALLY, BUT IT HAS ALSO PUSHED ME PAST WHAT I THOUGHT I COULD DO. WHEN KURT FIRST PRESENTED THE CHALLENGE TO US, I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL OF THAT WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL, WORKING, DANCE COMPANY COMMITMENTS, AND BEING AT REHEARSAL FOR OKLAHOMA EVERY NIGHT TILL 10. I HAD TO REALLY ORGANIZE AND SOMETIMES DO MY VOCALLIZING AT 5AM JUST TO MAKE SURE I GOT IT DONE. I DIDNT BELIEVE IN MYSELF ENOUGH TO THINK I COULD DO IT, BUT IM SOOO GLAD I DID. I THOUGHT THE 5 charitable DEEDS WERE GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO DO, BUT THOSE ENDED UP BEING SOME OF THE MOST REWARDING WORK OUT OF ALL, TURNS OUT IT REALLY DOES MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD TO DO GOOD THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE.THIS WHOLE CHALLENGE WAS MEANT TO SHOW US THAT WHEN WE MOVE TO NEW YORK TO PURSUE OUR DREAMS, THIS IS WHAT OUR LIFE IS GOING TO BE LIKE TIMES 10!!! IT WAS GREAT FOR ME TO REALIZE THAT AND I LOVE BEING IN THE HABBIT OF REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO MY VOICE EVERYDAY.
I HAVE TO GIVE MAJOR THANKS TO MY SUPPORTERS WHO HAVE BEEN WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. THANK YOU DEVI, JACEY, JASON, JONO, KEITH, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO FOLLOWED MY BLOG, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! AND THANK YOU MOST OF ALL TO MY MOM WHO HAS BEEN MY BIGGEST SUPPORTER MY ENTIRE LIFE, AND IN THE CHALLENGE. AND FINALLY, THANK YOU TO KURT ROBINSON WHO PUT THIS WHOLE THING TOGETHER. KURT DOESNT NEED TO TAKE SUCH AN INTEREST IN ALL OF US FROM ALBUQUERQUE, BUT YET HE COMES EVERY MONTH AND REALLY HELPS US, AND REALLY CARES ABOUT US. THIS IS NOT THE END, IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF MY NEW LIFESTYLE DEVOTED TO REALLY MAKING ALL THIS HAPPEN!!!
OK SO ALL I HAVE LEFT IS MY FINAL PRACTICE LOG SO HERE IT IS,
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:
TECHNICAL CONCEPTS: lip trills, sirens, I did my sirens up to the highest note I could possibly hit, and then tried to hold that note for 12 beats. I did the same for the lowest note in my range. I worked on finding my pitch within given chords ( quite hard).
MINUTES: 20
REPERTOIRE: " Prima Donna" from phantom of the opera. "Keep holding on" avril lavigne. " what I did for love" from a chorus line.
MINUTES: 35
SUCCESS: I havent workad as much on my classical stuff this month because I have been trying to work on my modern sound, but i think my work on my modern sound has actually helped me with my classical sound. "Prima donna" sounded more powerfull than it has in the past. " What I did for love" sound so much stronger than it did when I first did it for the last studio session we had.
AREAS TO IMPROVE: "Keep holding on" still needs alot of work. I need to figure out how to speak the low notes and not let them go soft.
NOTES: All this practice has paid off a great deal and I will keep practicing every day.
THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOU HELP AND SUPPORT!!! WOO HOO WE DID IT!!!

DAY # 29- THE END......ALMOST
WOW I CANT BELIEVE THE CHALLENGE IS ALMOST OVER, BUT ITS NOT REALLY......IT HAS REALLY ONLY JUST BEGUN!!! I HAVE BECOME SO MUCH MORE SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE, THROUGH THIS CHALLENGE, THAT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP THIS NEW LIFESTYLE UP. I HAVE CHANGED SOO MUCH DURING THIS CHALLENGE, NOT ONLY WITH MY SINGING BUT ORGANIZATION AND PLANNING SKILLS ASWELL. I ALSO HAD TO LEARN HOW TO GET CONNECTED, 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE CHALLENGE STARTED I DIDNT HAVE A FACEBOOK. I MADE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT FOR THE CHALLENGE AND HAD TO LEARN HOW TO USE IT REALLY QUICKLY, AND I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO USE MY DIGITAL CAMERA AND UPLOAD PICS. ITS BEEN A CRAZY MONTH BUT I HAVE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!
I JUST HAVE SOME DAILY SINGING LEFT TO POST SO HERE IT IS
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:
TECHNICAL CONCEPTS: I worked on creating alot of space in my mouth, the way I do when im singing in the classical style, but with a straight tone so that I could really support the modern sound the way I do with the classical. I also did this breathing/scale exercise that basically goes through scales really fast and rally jumps around so its hard to keep up with it, and keep the breath. I also did sirens and lip trills.
MINUTES: 20
REPERTOIRE: "My Heart will go on", from celine dion, "Out here on my own" from fame, and "Behind these hazel eyes" from Kelly clarkson.
MINUTES: 40
SUCCESS: Behind these Hazel eyes" felt really good today. It felt really supported. I was able to really feel the transition from mid to head voice that Kurt talks about, and it felt easy. "Out here on my own" is becoming pretty solid, I may need to but it in my audition book.
AREAS TO IMPROVE: Now that im able to feel how to make that more modern sound and support it, I need to make it actually sound good, right now it just sounds really nasty.
NOTES: All the daily practice has helped me sooo much, im defn. going to keep it up!!!
HEALTHY MEAL # 33

DAY # 28
WOW I CANT BELIEVE THE CHALLENGE IS ALMOST OVER !!! I HAVE GOTTEN USED TO IT!
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:
TECHNICAL CONCEPTS: I worked on my chest voice by simply singing one note at a time and holding for 16 beats and then trying to hold it for 20 beats. I also did regular sirens, and sirens with the baby cry sound. I also worked on cresendo and decresendo in the same breath, on the same note. I worked on finding the correct pitch of the given chord.
MINUTES: 20
REPERTOIRE: " I can hear the bells" from hairspray , " Out here on my own" from fame, and "so much better" from legally blonde.
MINUTES: 40
SUCCESS: I am starting to develop sound that I am comfortable with when Im singing in the style im not used to. It is not a very pretty sound but my support is getting much better when I belt.
AREAS TO IMPROVE: I need more work on my breath support like I did for warm-ups, because im not able to hold long notes all the way through in the middle of a song.
NOTES: "so much better" is still one of my favorite songs but that is defn. the one I need help with in terms of breath support.
COMING CLOSE TO THE END, BUT ITS NOT OVER YET!

DAY # 27
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:
TECHNICAl concepts: sirens, straight tone scales, I worked on alot of exercises I do with Kurt like gugugu, and crying scales.
MINUTES:15
REPERTOIRE: "Keep Holding on" Avril lavigne and "Gravity" from wicked, and "Dont stop believin" journey-I was working with my glee book with the sing along cd.
MINUTES: 40
SUCCESS: I really used the crying technique on "Keep holdin on" and that seemed to really work with the song, I was able to get loud, even on my lower notes.
AREAS TO IMPROVE: I realized when I was looking at my glee music book and trying to sing along to the cd that I was getting easily lost. I really need to make it a priority to learn how to sight read. Its too important for me to ignore if I want to audition for real jobs in New York.
NOTES: artists like avril are really good for me to practice with because they have that crying edge sound that im trying to develope.
HEALTHY MEAL # 32

DAY # 26
TODAY WAS ANOTHER CRAZY DAY AT SCHOOL BUT IM STARTING TO GET USED TO THIS INSANE SCHEDULE
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:
TECHNICAL CONCEPTS: SCALES, I WORKED ALOT ON THE TOP OF MY RANGE BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTING MY HIGH NOTES, I WORKED ON RELAXING MY THROAT( THE GRUDGE SOUND), AND I ALSO WORKED ON WHINNING MY SIRENS TO WAKE UP THE NASIL AREA.
MINUTES: 20
REPERTOIRE: I worked on "Good morning Baltimore" from Hairspray and, inspired by seeing wicked stuff all over popejoy, "Defying Gravity"from wicked.
MINUTES: 40
SUCCESS: Both of these songs are belty, but since I have been working alot on my belt, and supporting it correctly, they didnt hurt my throat like they normally would.
AREAS TO IMPROVE: I have to work on the style of both these songs. I have to put more personality into them, they still sound kind of robotic.
NOTES: Next time I have a coaching session with paul I defn. want to take my new hairspray book.
SO I HAD A HEALTHY BREAKFAST AND LUNCH TODAY
