Day 1

Daily Practice
30 minutes
I started Kurt's vocal warm up CD.   Take a look at the exercises: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kurtrobinson2.  (Even though you're not in NYC, you can still download the CD and practice with me! Craig, Tyler, Katie, Erica, Chris, Emily, Karen... any takers???) 

Today, I did the first 10 exercises, but I only listened to the instructions of the first 3.  I figured that each day I will go in depth with a handful of exercises, so that I'm really mastering the technique of those few skills, while still doing more of the other exercises to warm up the rest of my voice.

I worked through the Lip Trills several times today because I kept blowing out all of my air at the top of the scale.  My lips would stop trilling and no sound would come out.  I could feel my throat tightening up for the higher notes which was blocking the air, so I'm working on relaxing more as I get to the top. 

Healthy Meals- 1 and 2
Breakfast- Cinnamon Apple Oatmeal and an apple


Lunch- Homemade Salad
  • Romaine lettuce
  • Black beans and corn

Now I'm off to Symphony Space for tech/dress rehearsal!  Broadway Dance Center is putting on a show next weekend, and I'm in Bettina Sheppard's choral piece.  Anyone in NYC reading this-- tickets are $15, and I have 2 to sell!  The performances are Sunday, May 8th at 4:30pm and 8:00pm.  Let me know if you want to come see me on the big stage!
