Breakfast...
The usual...berries, yoghurt and granola
Then practised vocal warm ups for 30 minutes...worked on "Rita's Tune"
Had a one hour VOCAL LESSON with Christian Fletcher...
In this lesson I really began to understand the differences in the tone and sound of my voice in direct relation to the shape of my mouth, the lift of the soft pallette, my posture, tongue placement even.
I realized that I have to really work my technique more than I have been if I want to be a true soprano again. It's going to take alot longer than 30 days but atleast I have found a new goal.
We worked on "Rita's Tune" at the moment it's just getting the musicality and text into my body, hopefully by next week it will be ready to go. I would love to sing this for my live performance. It shows the tone of my voice that I like, and it's a sultry song but still very lady-like..."playful" is the best way to describe it.
From today's lesson I now know which soprano warm downs I should be doing after belting...and they are super easy which is a bonus...
Then I went to staples and photocopied most of the sheet music that I borrowed from my vocal coaching lesson yesterday...It took me a while because they NEVER make music books A4 size...they are always awkwardly bigger than A4 so it takes about 20 times before you can get every single note on the one page!
Then I did yoga class at BDC...found some Zen:) I still have 14 classes left to do in the 19 days left.
Then went to the physio for my ankle...she gave me lots of strengthening excercises... but I apparently need some real sneakers for walking for proper support...another expense, of course.
and here is dinner...
Best salad...romaine lettuce, egg, grilled chicken, spanish onion, walnuts, capsicum, croutons and balsamic vinaigrette... I am so full now!!!
I was planning to go to the radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular singing audition tomorrow...but realized that none of my current repertoire is appropriate for such an audition. So I need to find some bright, cheery songs...up-tempo is definitely missing from my book....
But I'm loving the new additions recently given to me to work on:)
