I came to realise that the song Roxie was somewhat low for me and so I had to make sure that I worked on that song alot to train and work on my lower range so that I was able to carry off the song without struggling. I done this by using sirining and humming.
For further trainging my voice I'd begin with humming a five tone scale and vary the way I sing. For instance I may decide to do the scale singing it on an A sound then change to an O sound. I'd also change whether I'd go up or down by either step or leap.
There were times when I wouldt warm up and this sometimes caused problems when I was singing as I wouldnt always be able to reach certain notes without straining and my voice would become tired really quickly and really easily. It would occasionally be evident.
I found that when singing 'Me And My Baby' I'd begin to lose breath when it got to the very last verse as that's when my movement increased and I was running around. This meant that I had to focus on excersises that would help with my breath control and work out the best way of using my breath so that when I sing the song I'm able to still have enough breath to sing when I get to the last section. I used exersises that would help to work my diaphram.
Unfortunatly for me, as a result of falling ill before the show I therefore wasn't able to see the result of my vocal preperation in performance. But however I could see much improvement in my voice I made sure that I adjusted so that I wouldn't shout various notes and use dynamics in my singing to show the range of emotions in my songs. I also worked on "keeping it simple" so that there weren't loads of "vocal decoration" used.
Target: to continue using vocal exercises for further improvement on my voice and breath control.
