Let the games begin...

So today I started my 30 day challenge with an early wake up....

The Singing;
I got up around 8am (which is early for a Sunday) I waited about 2 hours before I began a gentle warm up...I've been taught that the voice takes ATLEAST 2 hours to wake up naturally (like any other muscle). So I started with some scales on a hum, then as my voice was feeling warmer progressed to Ng, and did sirens to help blend the top, middle and chest breaks. as well as wimper's (my favourite excercise, I can always tell where my voice is at when I practice my puppy wimpers...sounds strange because it is!)
I also purchased the Daily Vocalizations CD which is designed specifically for warm ups and strengthening technique (female and male specific) which will make my 30 minutes of practice alot more productive and focused (http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/kurtrobinson is where I purchased and downloaded it).

The Eating:
I started off the day with a bowl of freshly cut strawberries, rasberries and blueberries (which was all I had left in the fridge)...topped with low Fat yoghurt and slivered almonds...yummmmmm!

Best breakkie... P.S I only had one bowl of fruit...just showing you how delicious the berries look before topped with yoghurt hahaha. And yes I chose a meal that would colour co-ordinate with my Blog page:)

After I spent my day searching the East Village for a costume for todays tech rehearsal at Symphony Space...I made my way to the theater to rehearse our pieces. I'm in 3 vocal pieces all in very different genres, with all different harmonies.
It's a great chance to work with harmonizing in an ensemble whilst doing choreography. And I really enjoy the pieces.
I'm singing in -Telephone Hour from Bye Bye Birdie
                      -Because from across the Universe
                      -I've Seen all good people by Yes
Perform them at two shows which take place next week. Very excited...we have been doing lots of rehearsals to have these prepared so I hope our hard work pays off.

Day 1 went well...I know what areas I want to work on in my voice...my mix to head voice.
And I hope I can find a song to work on in the next couple of days. Not sure if I should go rock or musical theater but I need both for various auditions...so I had better hurry up!

day 1 down! only 29 to go....
