Today was the first day I started my practice plan. I started by searching "skills for a vocalist to improve" on ChatGPT, an AI chatbot, and even asked it to suggest me some vocal exercises that I should try to improve each skills. For today, I trained my pitch accuracy by gliding smoothly from high to low pitch to improve control.

On this day, i decided to train my breath control and support. I did this by breathing deeply and expanding the diaphragm. I held my breath for 4 counts, and exhale slowly over 8 counts. Then, I hummed on a single note as long as possible to control breath release.

Today, my AM4 band rehearsed the full rearranged version of 纵 (zong) by YINY, a senior of ours. We made sure to clean up the messy parts a few times before showing it to our lecturer Ms Stephanie next Monday.

Today I decided to try a vocal exercises to train my chest voice, with support from my diaphragm. I did this by singing the words "ma me mi mo mu" on a single note, and I go up a semitone everytime.

In the following week I will be joining an AM1 class as a sessionist, so I prepared myself by going through the song "Plastic Love" by Mariya Takeuchi a few times, checking my vocal tone and making sure my japanese pronunciation is clear.

For my upcoming rearrangement assignment, I will be recording my vocals for the song "Don't wanna break up again" by Ariana Grande. So I practiced my vocals and made sure I used the correct vocal techniques to ensure the recording goes smoothly.

I did a vocal run and riffs exercise on this day. I followed a Spotify track where there was a piano accompaniment, and i sang a vocal run of "Ha"s up the scale. I decided to also sing "defying gravity" as another exercise.

I did a vocal exercise with the phrase "mi eh ah", which I was required to use mostly chest voice, with a bit of a head voice mix, up and back down the scale.

There is an exercise where I need to sing the phrase "Ave Maria". With this phrase, I am training to use a head and chest mix, and adding a vibrato at the end of each phrase.

Today was finally the day to record "don't wanna break up". by Ariana Grande. I once practiced the last chorus, which is the climax of the song, before I started recording.

I received a request to help record vocals to the song "Sinaran" by Sheila Majid, for a junior's assignment. They needed it to be a semitone lower than the original, so I practiced the vocal tone, pronunciation and pitch accuracy before I start recording the day after.

I found a Youtube video where we can learn the scales of different modes. Today I chose the phrygian mode. This helps a lot when it comes composing melodies, so I can avoid creating typical generic melodies, and start creating unique melodies.

On the 23rd of December, we finally had our assessment ! We chose 4 different songs to perform and everyone did their best. All the practices paid off, and this video serves as the proof of my growth and everyone's hard work.
