I got the CD's for the Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology volume 1 finally because I needed them, PLUS I treated myself to volume 2 with CD's. I treated myself because it has "Poor Wandering One," among other things, in the original key. It still doesn't have an ending cadenza written in though, and I cannot trill.

*sighs*

I guess I'll have to learn ( Read more... )

Why art thou so addictive?

I need to stop watching the Michigan MT's obsessively. But some of this new music is so good!

I just belted "All for You" from Seussical, including all those D's. It's amazing how easy it is to belt in a character voice.

I just did a really fast warm-up on 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 staccato "ah's," all the way up and down, and now I can't sing anything. My voice itself isn't tired in the slightest, and it sounds pretty good, but my diaphragm's too exhausted to keep up. Ugh. I need to take yoga or pilates or something. Or dance again. That would be fun.

Robert Preston sings flat sometimes.

Also, Kim Crosby's voice is far from flawless toward the middle/bottom.

Awww. And now I'm going to try to stop noticing things in an attempt to preserve my childhood.

Most awful acid reflux ever. Ugh. It felt as though my throat was on fire. Maybe I won't be auditioning for anything tonight.

This was about the third entry in the past few weeks I caught myself writing "to" instead of "too."

I'm reverting back to about first grade.

I really need to get back to school.

This is kind of weird, but I'm just trying to put into words exactly what scares me.

So yesterday I finally had voice (had to cancel Wednesday because I was still sick), and I had another Mozart day. Started with Vedrai again and sang really well, if I do say so myself. Mary was once again surprised by my tone and said, "I would say it's almost ( Read more... )

 My C above high C is back, and I can sing everything up to and below it in tune, and I'm negotiating the head to whistle quite well. I felt as though I could have gone higher, but my keyboard doesn't go any higher and I didn't want to push it after being sick ( Read more... )

I had the weirdest dream last night. There were factual inaccuracies, as is most dreams, but it was shockingly symbolically significant. It's slipping from my memory, so I have to record it now.

Basically, PCDS (which was on the Camelback Bible campus - don't ask me why) was a recreation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. All the teachers ( Read more... )
