Day 25! Takin care of business... everyday!
Today was another long Tuesday. It really is nice to have such a long packed day bc it seems sort of like the pace in NYC! I had a fun day in costuming and found my measurements... it is crazy how different everyone's body is. Work was good & short. And now I am home in my jammies posting earlier than usual. :) Also have really yummy green tea that I am drinking!!
Daily Practice Session
Technical Concepts - to switch things up a little bit I warmed up to Melissa Cross' DVD Zen of Screaming. I worked on a bunch of the breath support as well as her set of 12 warm-ups focused on singing "over the pencil". I really enjoy these warm-up bc I am a visual learner. I also worked on some sirens on wee, woo and worked on the difference between those two sounds.
30 Minutes
Repertoire - I worked on Anastasia, Another 100 People, My Life WSWY, & Fame
32 Minutes
Successes – I am feeling more comfortable with my wee siren and can mainly keep it in eeee. Also feel like I am getting the rhythm for Another 100 People. Mainly memorized on Anastasia.
Areas for improvement – I have a really hard time with My Life WSWY making it sound poppy... also do not have the whole soul-y feel for Fame.
Notes: I am still confused about the whole idea of singing voice and talking voice... my little brother totally agrees with George... I need to hear the difference I think. I don't wanna be on of those people who don't sound like it is their voice...

Healthy Eating
Meal Description – I made a burrito tonight and it was definitely healthy.. Whole wheat tortilla, beans, cheese, roasted red bell peppers & romaine lettuce.
Restaurant or Market – Trader Joe's & Costco
Rating – ***** Yummy! Some times you just need simplicity! I love pretty much anything with red bell peppers!
Dance/Personal Fitness
Date/time - January 25, 2011 7 p.m.
Type of class – Jazz/Contemporary
Difficulty Level - Intermediate
Studio and Instructor (Include Photo) – Fletcher Nickerson @ Maple Street Dance
What did you most enjoy? – We worked on a lyrical piece today which was a nice change from yesterday which was much more young and punchy with lots of floor work. It is always nice to work on the softer side of jazz... It was fun to work on theses two separate pieces side by side. I got to work on technique since the piece we learned was fairly simple.
What did you find challenging and why? – My hip is still acting up and that affects my balance and keeps me scared to go all out!
Observations – I need to be less timid in class, in all my classes... Note: if it hurts be safe but if it doesn't - give it all you got! Also these peeps were not that great at spacing either... whats up with that!!?
