1st Vocal Lesson with Lynn
I realised that alot of my techniques are wrong !!! What have I been teaching myself all these while.I had my lesson with her and picked up some stuff.
1st is breathing , I need to breath 6 counts and direct those air into my stomach , then release it 12 counts using the shhhh sound .All these while not using my chest but I can't seem to be able to do it since I have been using my chest all the time.
There is this exercise in which I am suppose to 'vibrate' my lips , I couldn't do that so I do some exercise with my tongue instead.
I can't go down in C major.Do Re Me Fa So La Ti Do , then I can't do it backwards , Do Ti La So Fa Me Re Do.I thought I was tone deaf but she said I wasn't.
She said the way I sang the song was pitchy and collapsed in the end.I guessed its due to my falsetto transition.I find myself unable to transit smoothly.This has always been a problem so I make use of my throat to bridge the gap between it but that doesn't seem to be the solution.Breathing technique seem to be the key.The abdomen is able to hold more air than the chest.
I need to really learn this breathing technique if not I can't move on.Basic stuff if I want to sing.Didnt expect my level to be so low :( So low that I can't be put into her syllabus yet.
