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!!!
