Choreography Today we worked on performance techniques and choreography for our fall concert! We are adding rhythmic steps, working on microphone technique, and all the time working on getting bigger and more comfortable moving while singing!
Switching between placements Today we worked on going between different placements with several songs from different genres to get ready for our Fall concert! Because we customize each song with different placements - going between the different variations and extremes of our baseline placement can be tricky for our brain to keep up with! With our musical theater song, we are working on adding character to the song through different voice inflections and actions, talking in a slightly more theatrical voice and widening our vowels at the top for our musical theater belt. In our pop songs - we are working on shortening words, bringing our placement all the way forward - taking all the bass out of our voice to increase agility for quick phrases and scats, and adding more rhythmic steps and movement in our performing. Because they're so different, we will work on going between the two until we have our Fall concert. This exercise is so awesome for Olivia's voice! It's forcing her to exercise every part of it - and be able to move her voice and placement around depending on the placement and genre of her song! She is doing so awesome!
