Day 13

Had a great day today! Went to Santa Fe with Amanda and Elora to rehearse for the Jason Robert Brown Master class! Had a good healthy meal. Came back and hung out with some of my best friends from high school (Shout out to Marissa who reads my blog!), and now blogging and the to dinner with Leonard!


Practice!


Technical Concepts: Warmed up using the warmups Matt taught me: using a harsh V sound, and again, worked on the vowels. 


Minutes: 10


Repertoire: Worked on my Jason Robert Brown stuff again (What Is It About Her and I Cannot Hear the City).


Minutes: 20


Success: Focusing on vowels helps so much for "I Cannot Hear..." It's so relieving! Also, thinking of a more pure "AY" sound at the end of "What is It..." help as well. 


Areas of Improvement: Need more breath for the last note on "What is it..." I also need to find a good placement for that note because I can't put vibrato on it...


Notes: Vowels are the best!




Coaching! 


Time and date: Today at 12:00

Instructor: David Geist 

Minutes: About a half hour, a little more

Repertoire: I Cannot Hear The City and What is it about Her?

Points Covered: Finding a good cut to the songs for the master class. Thinking about telling the story through the  music, and keeping it connected. We also learned the difference between pop music and Musical Theatre. Pop is mood based, giving off a certain mood where as musical theatre is about a story and the feeling given from the song.    

Notes:It was great working with David, and I feel very confident to sing for Jason Robert Brown! 

Healthy Meal 10!

Description: Cream of Tomato soup with meat balls and a Vegetarian Sandwich!

Restaurant: El Tesoro Cafe in Santa Fe!

Rating: 10, some of the best soup I've ever had! So tasty! 

That's all for today! If I eat a healthy meal tonight, I'll post it on a separate blog. Just wanted to get this out of the way so I could have the entire night to relax!
