6th March 2015 Singing Lesson with Kim.

In this lesson we watched back the video of our counter-melody performances, from this I feel that it became easier for myself if i really projected my lines over the other song, this helped me not get confused about which song i was singing. As a group we all worked really well in complimenting each other, by not singing to loud and drowning out the other song. 

In the later part of the lesson we looked into all of the different types of singing techniques and warm ups, we all picked a vocal technique and in small groups we had to write a describtion of the vocal technique and some ideas of excercises. My technique was Articulation, i found it hard  think of some unique excirses that would be different, yet would really help with articulation. once we had thought of our exercises we had a secion were we shared some of our exercises and warm-ups. We started off with one that improved our range. We had to start at our mind range and slide down to our lowest register then slide all the way up to our highest note and then back down to our middle notes. When we went up to the highest notes, i felt a strain, but if i keep using this exercise in my practice routine, i will stretch my vocals to be able to hit the high notes. The next exercise that we tried helped our Breathe Control, he had to make a 'HA' sound, while taking a breathe between each note, this made our lungs contract and exspand at a faster pace then usual. I really felt by sharing these excirses helped me as I was in need of new ways to improve my vocals within my practice routine.

This is my Vocal warm-up sheet that i did in the lesson, which is revolved around Articulation.
