De Trois Jours 

(day three - in french)

 

Technical Concepts - Today (like most days to come) I did Kurt's warm-up with: lip trills, yogi bear goo-goo-goo, nay scales, sliding with a relaxed jaw through the middle voice, ve-ve-ve-ve to work into my bottom range, ve to work smoother transitions, and the Avril Lavigne yeah-yeahs.
29 Minutes

Repertoire I worked on Be Still by Kelly Clarkson. It is amazing that when you put something away for a couple weeks it can get so much worse.

20 Minutes 

Successes – I could really hear and feel the "baby cry" today! It felt powerful and controlled. Also makes me more annoyed for the days I can't seem to use it... because when I do get it, it is so easy! Also I felt strong with my breath support today. It was an earlier lesson I was reviewing and things I used to have breath trouble with I didn't today!

Areas for improvement – I need to keep working the Be Still song because I really love it and it got pretty bad from not working on it for a couple weeks. Moving from chest to middle on just a word is hard! I also yelled a little today I could definitely feel it hurt my voice and my heart :(

Notes: also need to get the accompaniment for Be Still recorded! Need to book 2 voice lessons with someone ... ??
