Practice 10/14/14

Refluxed pretty hardcore last night; woke up with a really dry throat. When I started to warm up, I felt like my voice was a little swollen, especially since sound production was always a little delayed. I did my usual exercises, and I added [be de] on 5432123454321 and 8531358531, closing the [b] ("putting a lid on the breath") before starting each one. I could feel my tongue tightening a little along with my jaw, so I moved to "shing" on fast descending 8531 so I wouldn't have time to tense up. I switched to "shong" after a bit (then switched out "sh" for "th" because my tongue was still not releasing). I focused on released jaw and "happy person" throughout.

I did a lot of the same things that I did yesterday, solidifying the "high feeling" throughout my pieces.
