SO I HAD ANOTHER AWESOME 5 AM VOCAL PRACTICE, MY FIRST OF MANY TODAY!
DAILY PRACTICE LOG:
TECHNICAL CONCEPTS: Scales, Chest voice, I worked on really getting my voice in what I call "The happy spot", meaning my support is coming from way deep down in the bottom of my belly and my throat doesnt feel any strain at all. I must say warming up takes a bit longer at that time in the morning, but it eventually gets there.
MINUTES: 20
REPERTOIRE: " The Finer things" "out here on my own" and "I caint say no".
MINUTES: 40
SUCCESS: "I caint say no" felt really good today. I actually feel really good belting that, i was able to get it into that nasily place. I can finally feel my belt work paying off. yey!
AREAS TO IMPROVE: "The finer things" is super complicated. I love it, but the timing is a real struggle.
NOTES: I have been working on "the finer things" alot for my live performance but im stressing about it because I dont want to bomb it!
I HAVE NOTICED MYSELF DAY DREAMING IN MY CLASSES ABOUT MY SONG, I FIND MYSELF THINKING "ID RATHER BE WORKING ON MY MUSIC, OR DANCING".
FUNNY STORY
Today I had a 1 hour break and so I went to the duck pond to listen to the recording I made with Paul yesterday. I sat on the bench and closed my eyes and I got so into it that I was singing along with it and kind of moving around still sitting on the bench -totally forgot I was in public. About awhile had passed, a bird flew really close to my head and I snapped out of the intense zone I was in. I openned my eyes and realized that I had forgotten where I was, and about 15 min had gone by. Everyone around was looking at me like I was crazy....it was soo funny, I was just totally in my own little musical.. . . . . . I AM LOSING IT!
the one thing i have had to miss since school started is hot yoga...I miss my yoga butt!!! .... I will get back to it soon tho!
