Went to Oosh for a 4 hour studio session. This was a really positive experience. We sang just about anything and really just released any stress in a safe environment. The pressures that I have been feeling in my voice very much come about when I place emphasis on pushing my break higher in order to not get the breathy sound when doing harmonies and trying to keep the strength and volume, tightening my larynx and in turn, my jaw also tightens. I think in order to overcome this I need to just focus on singing things that are comfortable and work on keeping the transition between my chest and head voice as smooth as possible and not try to push my break up. and also, yawn lots before singing in order to RELAX!

ADAM PERRY MASTERCLASS
11:30-1pm

Just updating from the past week. Its been an interesting week for my voice! I've actually learnt a lot about what makes me struggle vocally and what brings out my strengths. It seems that when I am fully relaxed and in a safe environment, I am way more open and relaxed. My jaw is not tense and I have a lot more movement over my break. I have also some how released a new voice in my higher notes, one with more balance using a lot less breath and being able to sustain the notes with a lot of strength.

Gig at 'The Crowns'
House band audition
learn songs -
- My Girl
- Brown Eyed Girl
- Stand by me
- Forget you
- Proud Mary
- Never too much

# data[].attributes.body
Recently Ive been working on a small set for 'The Crowns' house band for this evening. Its sort of an audition for their band but I will be joining in on 6 songs with them in their gig at 10pm. I am super nervous soley because of the words but Ive been listening to them on repeat and am determined to make it perfect! Im not going to pressure myself now,  just focus on getting the words down as I think its probably essential for life as a vocalist to know all the classics anyway! Cover bands are a really easy way of securing paid gigs. So here I am going for it! I told myself I'd perform 3 times a week every week and so far I have done LPW, 1 open mic and now my third performance of the week is this gig. The melodic and vocal techniques of the songs have not been an issue, its only the words. So I've tested my ability to learn words, and I will let you know later if its paid off!
The songs are:
- My Girl
- Stand by me
- Never too much
- American boy
- Proud mary

I've been fighting the skies,
pushing away,
from this bed in which I lay,
I don't wanna stay,
not even one more day

lets get it right,
I'm not gunna fight it,
no not tonight
I'm not gunna hide it

Cos its hard to breathe even when sitting by the sea,
the air, it suffocates me if only you could see,

can you imagine a time
where we saw through our mind and loved with our eyes
there would be no disguise

a smile would be certified
a cry would be no lie,
you wouldn't have to try
you wouldn't even scrutinise,

'Guitar'

(you are my crime
my purest desire
my greatest disguise
a trophy for the wise
the ultimate prize) - maybe bridge

lets get it right
I'm not gunna fight it
no not tonight
I'm not gunna hide

cos its hard to breathe
even when sitting by the sea
the air, it suffocates me if only you could see

my eyes are my greatest disguise
they hide all of my lies
ill keep them dry
you'd be surprised

Maybe end with full chorus and crazy harmonies or just fade out or end with a clean singular vocal passage

# data[].attributes.body
You're a constant reminder that life goes on oh I'll say it again my dear,

Thinking bout the day when you came and went a away,
you crushed my soul oh the way you dismay

# data[].attributes.body
Its raining in my head
it has been for days
constantly in a daze
a seretonin draught
got me in a doubt

How far must I go before I see the snow,
the white on the tree tops
that good old wind blow

Oh, I'll throw it away my dear
give it away its clear
for one day you will wish for the rain,

There's a cloud above my head
and a thunderstorm ahead
hurricane heartache
awaiting a calling

She sat on a bench(her stomach would wrench/clench)
thinking where the time went

(bridge - modulation bit - guitar stuff)

why did she hide
where did she go
she didn't used to be shy
I guess we'll never know

a glimpse of light crept in from her bedside
or maybe it was a firefly
a false sense of integrity
here for the longevity
was she in paradise

oh know wasn't that concise

I'll throw it away my dear
give it away in fear
for one day you will wish for the rain.

# data[].attributes.body
I've had longer days than today
when the sun can't shine through the rain,
Ive had deeper struggles and pain
than the ones I feel today
I know its not the same as when
you turned and walked away

Oh why must I feel pain
to understand its okay to refrain
oh why must I feel pain
to contour all that you display

Its the lucky ones that sit around and think about the moment
when everything is a little clouded but trust is a fulfilment

You're the poll in my stomach,
and I've forgotten how to swim,
the whirlwind in my head,
didn't realise I'd fallen in
the jell in my legs
I wish I'd never said

its a funny thing indeed
how we want the things we don't need,
just to prove to our selves,
whats real and whats not gunna leave

The paint to my art, oh dear
the hurricane in my heart, its clear

oh why must I feel pain
to steal that love storm all again
oh why my I feel pain
to understand your love again

# data[].attributes.body
If I let you put your head on my shoulder,
would you kiss me a little boulder,
If I tell my friends your my lover,
would you tell me its forever

cause Im thinking about, making you my man,
I said I'm thinking about, letting you in

Would you tell your friends Im your lady,
or maybe even your baby,
would you tell your mum Im the one,
the one and the only

cause I'm thinking about making you my man,
I said I'm thinking about, letting you in

If I make you tea in the morning,
will you stay and drink it for me,
would you stay the day
and hold me closely
If I decide you're my one and only

cause Im thinking about making you my man,
yeah Im thinking about, making you mine

# data[].attributes.body
Im a walking contradiction
a constant science fiction
words in my head speak like
rhymes instead

you can cage my thoughts I don't want them
Go serve them up to the front men
They'll eat you up, not even look up
But maybe they'll push back the shadow

I want to be free range
Free to roam
this minute brain
I'll say it again

They're Goldfish thoughts
long and short
these confines of my mind
could never be fraught

Its circled again,
Its circled again,
Im trapped by the things I have thought

Its Raining Gold, its never hurt so bad,
Its raining gold, Ive never felt so sad,
Cos I can't deny it,
Ive been fighting for my life

Go Your Own Way - Notated Score Assessment 

# data[].attributes.body
This is a 4 part vocal arrangement for Soprano Soloist along with a 1st and 2nd Soprano part and an Alto. The arrangement has been constructed with a piano part mainly for guidance. If this were to be performed it would be in a choral setting with potential to replace the existing piano part with alternative instruments. I have based the left hand Bass Clef piano part on the acoustic guitar in the Fleetwood Mac version of the song, using the tonics and dominants in relevant keys to show guidance for if a group were to use this arrangement in conjunction with a guitar as the instrument of choice. The right have Treble Clef piano part is more of a guidance for the vocalists, honing in on their harmonies and resolving slightly differently in order to potentially stream new ideas for different harmonies, along with extra support for the Soprano soloist throughout solo sections especially in the first verse. I have show a guide as to phrasing but would suggest room for artistic licence which is why I chose also to put pauses at crucial moments for potential ad-libs etc.

Small pond 'Your the Voice'

# data[].attributes.body
This is the song I chose to analysis for my 2 performance analysis. I chose this due to how extensive the song is, set in a very episodic almost rhapsody style, I felt it would have a lot to talk about, I wanted to focus on 2 performances that would be considered 'in the same style', but for me represent very different things. Read my performance analysis in portfolio documents to learn more.
