Day 30! The END!
Woke up early to do my vocal practice stuff before work and to post everything I need to!
Practice!
Technical Concepts: Nice easy warm up on goo and mee. Didn't go pass a mozzo forte and just relaxed into my middle voice.
Minutes: 15
Repertoire: What Can You Lose
Minutes: 15
Success: Just worked on relaxing through it, and had fun. Thought about breath support which helped me through the long phrases.
Areas of Improvement: My voice is a little tired from all the crazy stuff that happened yesterday, but it was not bad. Need to not over sing and always remember to sing correctly.
My Live Performance
Date/time - Last night at 11:30 ish
Show/Venue - Reptilian Lounge at the Filling Station
Program or Song Choice – I sang bits of Hot and Cold, Sexy Back and Betty Yeah!
What did you most enjoy? – Just singing with a band and in such a crazy, supportive venue.
What did you find challenging and why? – The audience did get a little rowdy, so that was tough. Also, the stag was in alley setup, and it's always hard to play both sides of the audience.
Observations and Remembrances – We got really caught up in it and just had a blast!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFJJ2vzTIIM
New Song
Song Choice – What Can You Lose from Dick Tracy
Approximate time learning and coaching your song – I switched the song I was going to learn, but spent about 4-5 hours total learning and rehearsing it.
Describe your recording experience – It's always hard to listen to yourself. I had to do this last night to be able to post it, and my voice was not the greatest, but I got through and zthink it's okay.
General Observations – I think i tried to make this song to pretty! haha! Oh well!
Link!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2FRoh5nvnQ
Charitable Deeds 4 and 5!
So two days ago, I cleaned out my closet and got all the clothes I did not need and put them into a large trash bag. Today, I went and dropped them off at Goodwill! I think it's good because it's a lot of teenage clothing that actually is not very worn out, so it made me feel good to give to them!
My pile of clothes!
Number 5:
I decided to triple the value of money I made at the Lounge last night, and give it to a charity! I talked to the lady at goodwill, and she said that they give to numorous charities, and that she would include my money when they give money to the battered woman's house. I know it's only something small, but every bit helps!
Well, there it all is! This has been such a great experience! I have learned so much from it! Thank you all who followed, thank you Kurt for making this awesome challenge happen , and thanks to my support group who pushed me through!
PEACE!

Day 29: almost done!
Blogging back home!
Practice!
Technical concepts: warmed up my mixed voice and worked through my flem. Used a lazy goo sounds!
Minutes: 15
Repertoire: City and What is it...
Minutes: 15
Success: for being sick, everything was coming out pretty good. Gooing through both songs was helpful.
Areas if improvement: Flem sucks...but I thought I was ready for the masterclass.
Coaching #2
Masterclass with JRB
Time and date: today from 2-4
Points covered: really focused on hitting a note right on the pitch and then adding the vibrato.
Notes: I rated my performance a b-day. I don't normally have pitch problems on the song, but I think nerves got the best of me. Also, I tilt my head to the side when I sing the "air" which Jason said means I'm using one of my vocal chords instead of both to hit the note. Overall, it was more of a good experience than life lessons!
Best part was watching Jason Perform!

Day 28: Still have a lot to do, but it will happen!
Today was an easy one! Just some practice and started to a charitable deed! I'll finish that tomorrow!
Daily Practice!
Technical Concepts: Used the warmups that Kurt sent us. And focused a lot on the Goo's and also worked on some "bee."
Minutes: 15
Repertoire: "I Cannot Hear The City," a little "Later" form Night Music and some "What Can you Lose"
Minutes: 20
Success: I buzzed and "goo'd" through both "City" and "What Can You Lose." It felt really nice and easy. I tired the high b flat in "Later"using relaxed cheek muscles and lowered larynx and hit it in my mix voice with ease! I was very excited!
Areas of Improvement: Need to try and always remember to use a relaxed and puckered face. Even when I sing for fun or sing just a little bit, I have to sing like that!
Notes: I'm very happy and excited to sing!!!
More tomorrow! Way more! JRB, performance! So excited!

Day 27: One pretty awesome and inspiring day!
Today was a nice uplifting day. I finished my dance/fitness stuff, as well a my voice lessons and had a good day! I'll just dive right in!
Practice.
Technical Concepts: Just did a nice easy warmup in the morning before work to warm up my voice for talking and later singing. Just did soft scales and lip trills.
Minutes: 15
Repertoire: "I Cannot Hear The City"
Minutes: 15
Success: I just simply went over all that Matt and I had done. Just wanted to make sure I was still using correct placement and vowels.
Areas of Improvement: Some sections still seem really spread and the "e's" in the piece are difficult.
Notes: So much has changed! Haha!
Personal Fitness #9 and 10.
Yoga and dance!
Today at 6:30/5:00
Difficulty Level: All. Hot Vinyasa/ Ballet 1
Studio/Instructor: Blissful Spirits with Rebecca/ UNM with Vladimir
What I most Enjoyed: I did really well today in Yoga! I made it a little more spiritual for myself by repeating my goal during some exercises and also "breathing out the bad energy!" / For ballet, I really enjoyed when some guy in my ballet class asked if I was a dance major! Haha! Guess I look like I know what I'm doing! But really my favorite part was the bar work!
What I found Challenging: The sit between your legs thing. it pinches so bad (which is healthy) and is really good for you, but i had to pull out of it multiple times because my legs hurt. / For Ballet, I had a hard time balancing in pase on one leg. Need to work on keeping my weight center.
Observations: I love that Rebecca was sad that I was leaving. I just know that she cares for her students! I will be back! / Ballet is a lot of fun and very challenging. I'm really enjoying it!
Minutes: One hour
Repertoire: "I Cannot Hear The City" and a little bit of "What is it About Her"
Points Covered: I feel like we covered so many points! We focused on keeping the larynx dropped and relaxed, keeping the lips puckered and relaxed, using the "lazy" sounds to get into proper placement and technique, using a baby cry to brighten relaxed vowels, using "my voice" versus a breathy one, singing softly and supported, using the mix voice and pulling it from the middle to chest, and keeping the sound forward, (which just happens when you sing right...weird, huh?)
Notes: This lesson was very uplifting and inspiring. It felt like Kurt gave me some awesome little tricks that did wonders to my voice! It all felt so healthy and controlled Through this relaxing, I can stick more closely to a pure vowel sound, I feel like I had more breath and it rang out very strongly and easily. I'm very happy with how this lesson turned out. Now to practice it, get it more comfortable and make it part of my regular technique!

Day 26: So close to the end!
So today was one of the productive days in my very productive week! Squeezed some volunteering in before school, then had a full day of school followed by getting a new tire, reading some homework and then to work!
Practice!
Technical Concepts: Did a very soft warm up. This included warming up my falsetto, lip trills, and soft "ee" to "ahs."
Minutes: 15
Repertoire: "I Cannot Hear The City"
Minutes: 15
Success: Worked on those "exaggerated" vowels and using breath and placement instead of volume.
Areas of Improvement: I just need to sing soft all the time!
Good Deed # 3
Today I went to the Road Runner Food Bank at 8:00 this morning. When one thinks road runner food bank, one thinks sorting cans and such. I got to sweep leaves outside. While it was cold, it was nice to give back to the food bank. One of the ladies in the front desk explained that they are getting ready for their biggest fundraiser of the year, Souper Bowl Sunday. It sounds like an awesome idea and I might check it out!
One thing I am happy to say is that the Full-Voice gang is making an impression. When I explained that I was doing the challenge, the two people behind the desk knew what I was talking about (Because Amanda volunteered there) and said that they wanted the info to our blogs so they could share the link on their facebook! It just made me proud to be part of this amazing group of people and not only benefiting ourselves from the challenge, but also the community.
I was inspired today to keep volunteering! One of the may things this challenge has inspired me to do!
