Voice Lesson-Wednesday March 31, 2011

I just got done with an hour long lesson and it was really good!  I am really excited because we a finally to a point where we can work on some of the details and it is SO nice.  It was nice to be able to add elements of my chest voice, and to talk about working more on consonant sounds.  That is the trend with all of my repetoire right now-not enough consonants.  That is something that I am really striving to work on.  I have also been working on not rushing in my pieces and conducting in the practice room mirror.  The one downfall about today's lesson was that my voie was a little tired. It has been all week though due to recovering from the show.

Finally, I had a revelation on stage during the musical, and that was the big mouth. We talked about it in studio last Friday, and sometime during the show when I was singing with a huge mouth I thought. :Hey, this makes sense now!"  Yay for revelations. :)

Oh the Week of the Musical.

So it is weeks like these that I am realyl thankful for the good technique that I have learned.  It is tech week for Little Shop and we open today!!  I am very excited for this, but it has been a very grueling and daunting week.  I am to an extreme point of exhaustion, and so is the rest of the cast.  My good technique has saved my voice though.  I just had my lesson and it was still a very good lesson despite how tired I am.  I am so very thankful for that.  Yay for making good progress!! 

YAY LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!!!!

Leson Week 7

This week I got to have an hour lesson!  It was so nice to have so much time.  This weekend we were really working on the forward resinance.  Dr. Hepworth thinks that if I can fully grasp that concept then we will be getting some even better sounds.  I think she's right. I was excited because we got to work on the other pieces that we haven't had a chance to work on.  I am so excited to really get cracking on some of the newer pieces, and to really start polishing the rest of my repetoire.

Right now, I am on break and I am sick.  I think that it's a sinus infection. Only I can get sick over break.  It has caused problems with my throat and singing, so tomorrow it is off to the doctor.  All that I know is that I am really tired, I sneeze a lot, and I can't breathe out of my nose.  Oh the life of a singer. :)
