Daily Practice: #1

Minutes: 35

Repertoire: "Out of My Dreams", "Much More", "City"

Technique Work: Today, I really wanted to focus on my head voice. I've got an audition for Carousel tomorrow evening, and I'll be coaching a Light Mix piece in our Mastering Your Mix class, tomorrow afternoon! I'm glad these things are coinciding so that I can have a very concentrated practice session today. Once I warmed up, I started with head voice exercises to get myself in the right place for the songs I was about to tackle. I felt ready to go on my classic music theater pieces, so  then it was on to "Out of My Dreams" and "Much More". To get myself into a slightly less classical placement for "City", I performed the Light Mix exercise we learned in class on Tuesday before launching into my favorite Sara song!

Musicality Work: "Out of My Dreams" and "Much More": Classical placement, rounded vowels, raised soft palate, lots of release and vibrato. "City": relaxed palate, added texture to the sound with breathiness, straight toning.

P.S. I'm VERY excited to be working on "City" as an assignment for Mix class. It's my favorite Sara Bareilles song, and if you haven't heard it you're missing out!

Thanks for reading!
