At the start of the lesson we had to demonstrate our vocal warm ups. I had to do mine to the class, the vocal technique at i focused on was Articulation, this is how the sounds within the he word. How you articulate your words can go two ways, the sounds can be short, stabby sounds which is called Stacarto. A warm up that i choose to demonstrate this was saying the alphabet with a fast pace, and not having to take a breathe between each letter. This meant that notes came out fast and on a sharp beat, that made us pronounce every letter with every sound. The break between each sound of the letter and makes you moves your lips around the sounds. Articulating works better when ou exaggerate every movement of your mouth.
The opposite to Stacarto is Lagarto, this is where the notes flow into one sound. The warm up that i choose for this was saying a sentence, for example 'Dont you dare dive in the droll' This needs really tight movement of the lips to make an audinece able to understand this line. In preperation for next lesson where we have to perform and demonstrate our warm ups, im going to research some more warm ups for articulation that are different to everyone elses, yet effective and fun to do.
For the main part of the lesson we focused on our song 'Everything that you didnt do', the orginal song is very high in key, so Kim brought it down a minor third. This made it easier for me as it fit well into range well, but some people felt that the song fit them better when it was in the original key. However there is still a bit in the chorus where it goes high. I had to use my head voice, to get this high. I found it easier to sing this song when standing next to Henry, as we have a very simular range, and it cant link what im doing.
my Target for next lesson is to research some more vocal warm ups. As i think that a different warm up would be effective as people could get more into something new.
