    brooster is building his list

    Booooo.... 2 days ago

    I’ve really let this one slip. I want to pick it up over the next few weeks or I think this one might end up falling by the wayside. I just haven’t felt happy enough to let myself go so I can enjoy singing recently, so by really concentrating on my other goals and getting back to feeling positive again I hope to get back on track soon.



    brooster is building his list

    Doing something new... 1 week ago

    I’ve always had a BIG phobia about singing, so it’s not exactly been at the top of my list of things to do. But in the interests of busting out of my comfort zone and creating a more creative and sweeter sounding me, I’m going to give it a go. I think that if I can actually get over my nerves, I might enjoy it. First step, find somewhere to learn…



    My voice is flat 1 month ago

    When I sing everything comes out slightly flat, and I can’t fix it. My speaking voice is flat too.

    Flatface. _

    learm to sing



    Per my one-month plan for May 1 month ago

    I have not been listening to NPR in the car on the way to work, but have been doing singing exercises. And I’m not using my recorded lessons anymore. I think just hearing my own voice helps me really focus on what I want to focus on, i.e., the attack, letting the breath go during the phrase, and relaxing the jaw. AND, this week at the choir rehearsal I felt like in just one week I had made progress! Yay! I hope it continues.



    Singing 2 months ago

    Choir has been great. The only negative thing I can say about it is that I never feel like I get properly warmed up. I’m sure it’s partly because we always “warm up” on a hymn, which I am always having to sight read. The other thing about this goal is that I have not been going to lessons that regularly – it’s fallen off to once a month – and I have not been practicing. A couple of days ago I brought my ipod in the car, with recordings of my lessons on it, and I’ve been doing the warmups from the lesson while I drive to and from work. I just need to keep my ipod charged up and I think this will help. Just need to be consistent.

    I have always loved singing but never been good at it, I think it’s something that would improve my quality of life. Hearing people sing well makes me happy, I’d love to be able to do it.



    singing in the rain, hail and shine. 2 months ago

    Well this is really simple.

    I want to sing.
    Better.

    Sometimes I can sing, but around other people I get choked up.
    So I’ll practice more until I’m confident.

    I don’t care if it never means anything other than people don’t mind if I’m singing.
    It’s kind of wonderful being around people who can sing, I think.

    I did it, I took the lessons and I sang, or how do you say it, in fron of the whole school and now I’m over with the singing, I still suck and I don’t care anymore. Whatever :D I have more important stuff to do.

    My husband is a wildly talented guitar player his best friend is a great singer when I sing songs I love they laugh and make fun of me. I want to learn to at least carry a tune.
