Day 22

Practice

Today I really didn't have much of a voice... I'm a sick chick... not sure what's going on but hoping some tea and rest will help.

I worked on light vocalization, humming and lip trills, not pushing too much.

Then I researched songs that I may want to learn.

Learnt some words too--->Gee wiz.

Also reviewed lesson from yesterday!!!!

Total practice- 30 min

Charity #3

Wooooo charity number 3!!!!

I walked in the Pancreatic Cancer 5km walk. It was awesome. It was such a beautiful morning, with beautiful scenery and great company. It was touching to see such a sea of purple (the theme colour) walking for loved ones and for such a great cause. Any chance at discovering a cure for pancreatic cancer, or any cancer for that matter is helped with these walks and it was a wonderful opportunity to get some exercise on a Sunday morning, and support so many people struggling with this disease today.
Total time at walk=9 am until 11 am

Here are some pictures!!!!

Live Performance 

Last night late late late some of us from the challenge went to a little place called Duplex to sing at an open mic.

I sang "It's my Party" (naturally, since it's my strongest song) 

Again... didn't have much of a voice but did the best I could. It was a friendly and safe environment to sing in and the piano player was awwwwwwwesome! It was completely different singing with a mic. I can't even describe it to you other than the fact it was buckwild. Everything I normally feel when I sing in an audition or performance class was changed with that mic in my hand...

After we had all finished and we were leaving a guy came up to me and said "Great job!" I said "Thanks, but I'm really losing this voice of mine". I kept walking on but my friend heard him say to his friend "She's got such spirit!"

That really brightened my day because a complete stranger saw spirit and something special in me at 2 o clock in the morning when I wasn't feeling well in a 1.5 song! I think that's pretty cool.

I also want to thank the challenge for making this a requirement because I never would have done something like this on my own... EVER. 

I want to go back next Saturday night when I'm rested and healthy and ready to kick it.

IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT
