Singing Practice Routine Two

 

Vocal technique	Progress to date	Target	Date	Progress to date	Target	Date
Intonation—The tuning of your notes to the music compliment and making sure your in key.	I have started to sing my songs alongside with the backing vocals, I use this to pitch my notes against as I find it easier to see if I’m tune.	I will keep doing this but I will notice how it feels to hit these high notes, and then play them alongside with the backing.	6/02/15	For the next two weeks after the solos I will just be focusing on in pitching with notes, I have been going over my scales and recording my scales and checking the pitches.	I have been very productive, and have gone over my mid-range scales and feel very confident with my range in the mid and getting the notes in key.	21/03/15
Flexibility	I have carried on the number scales, but have changed up the pattern to make it even jumpier. (1,3,5,8,1,8)	I will carry on this onto the next week but will start to pair it up with intonation where I will do these but making sure that I hit the correct notes.	06/02/15	I have extended this even further as am using the pattern (1,3,5,8,1,8) but repeating this everything up the octave.	I will go over this till I’m fully flexibly and can jump from the notes in the scale. I will mainly focus on the higher notes in the octave to give me a wider range in my flexibility	02/05/15
Range— the range of notes that you can hit without strain	I did a new scale that is the octave higher then I usually do, I found a strain in my voice.	I will keep doing this till I can see the wider range. I can already see an improvement as I feel more comfortable with a couple of notes higher.	13/02/15	My range has improved as I’m getting better at my lower notes. I have been doing my scales and getting lower each time.	I will keep doing these scales to widen my range even lower and then start to go into the higher side of the scales.	4/04/15
Diction—how you or a character pronounce certain words or sounds	I found a new technique to improve my diction, by placing constants with vowels such as ( F with Fa, Fe, Fi, Fo, Fu)	I will placing these with different sounds and doing up and down the scale.	27/02/15	I have been going over the constants with vowels, but have really tried to over exaggerate my movements	I’m going to keep doing this whenever I feel that I slip, but I feel that my diction has improves and my vocals are clear and well thought out.	19/05/15
Articulation– Pronouncing any sound especially constantans.	I have done some scales in a staccato style. But changing up the sounds from AH to EE	I will carry over these scales but changing up the patterns, sounds and the key on the octave.	13/02/15	I sang the song fish and chips and vinegar. I did this by over exaggerating the staccato and the Legato sections.	I kept doing this over the next week, I think that this has shown me the difference between the two styles.	18/04/15
Projection	Some of the techniques to improve my projection I have been focusing on the diaphragm.	I have been pushing from my diaphragm to make the notes last longer.	27/02/15	I haven’t focused much on my projection as I feel that this is one of my strongest techniques.	I haven’t focused much on my projection as I feel that this is one of my strongest techniques.	18/04/15
Breath control	Panting helps to widen lungs and let more air into the lungs. I will use this to improve my quick breathing skills.	I will then place these into my solo so I can put to breath at certain points In the song.	7/03/15	I feel that I have got the right techniques that I need to produce a solo in the right amount of breathes in a song.	I feel that I have got the right techniques that I need to produce a solo in the right amount of breathes in a song.	16/05/15
