Week nine of practicing

This week I really worked on memorizing!  I am still working on the stressed sylables in a couple of my songs.  I am also still working on dipthongs and elongating them, but I think as long as I keep my soft pallet high and not colapse it.  It will help alot and it will allow me to elongate the dipthongs.  It was also a good week at convention and I learned alot.  I am ready for Thanksgiving though, it will be nice to see my family and get a little sleep!

Week 9 of practicing

This week was a week of productive practicing I really worked on a lot of technical techniques with elongating dipthongs and making the stressed syllables of important words to come out when I was singing!  I also worked on looking in a mirror at myself to get better with keeping my soft pallet open.  I am keeping on memorizing all my pieces as well.  Hopefully everyone had a good week as well!  I am really excited about conference and Thanksgiving!

Week eight of practicing

This week was a successful week of practicing!  I have Si trai ceppi and Le Charme memorized and I am finsihing memorizing I wonder as I wander!  I have also been working on Heavenly grass and Tally Ho and hopefully get them memorzied in a week or two.  I have been really looking in the mirror making sure my soft pallet is raised the whole time and that jaw movement is limited and only used when need be.  I have also been looking in the mirror for appropriate emotional stances with the songs as well!  Hope everyone else hade a wonderful week of practicing!  Too doo loo!

Week seven Voice Practicing

This week I worked on keeping my soft pallet open when I sing leaps or runs in both La Charme and Si trai Ceppi.  I also am working on memorizing both Si trai Ceppi and La Charme.  I am trying to keep thinking of the legato connection in all of my songs.  I am also trying to use less Aspirates in my singing as well.  I am also working on Heavenly Grass and Tally Ho.  Those are coming along as well!  I hope everyone else had a good week of practicing!  See everyone in studio!

Week 6 of practicing

This week I worked on alot!  I worked on my diction in my french piece and my legato phrasing with no h's that would interupt the vocal folds in Si trai ceppi.  I also went over I wonder as I wander.  In order to not create h's while I am singing I open up my mouth so the soft plalet does not close and it is easier for me to make the phrasing more legato and connective.  It was a good week of practicing, I just need to keep on reinforcing those habits of mine with legato phrasing and no clipping off words.  Hope everyone else had a good week of practicing as well!

Week Five of practicing

This week was a good week!  NATS  I thought went well!  I am still working on my legato phrasing with all my pieces and also working on attaching dipthongs to the word followed like and-the.  Over break I am going to work on Si Trai Ceppi, my french piece and my other engilsh pieces and do some hard work on them.  Over all things are going well!  I am excited though to see my family this weekend and go home for a little bit!  Hope everyone else is doing good!

Week Four of Practicing

This week was a good week of practicing!  I am really nit picking all my songs for NATS with being legato, no h's, and dipthongs at the end of the word cut offs.  It is coming along good!  I am also working on Si Trai Ceppi too and applying these same things to that as well because I feel like I am putting h's with the runs and I am sometimes putting the dipthongs in the wrong place as well.  Overall I think I am doing a really good job and I can not wait for NATS this week coming up!  Hope everyone else had a good week of practicing and we will see everyone tomorrow!  I can not believe it is already October!
