Practice 11/17/14

(Sorry; turning in this practice log a little late)

I woke up with a bit of reflux, but it didn't seem like it would be any more of a problem than it usually is. I did, however, find that I had trouble releasing my jaw; it felt very stiff, and while I was singing, I felt as though I didn't have much mobility/flexibility in that area. I spent some time massaging it and throughout the day, I made sure to just check up on it every once in a while to see if it would release. By the end of the day, it was back to normal, but it was weird how tense my jaw was. 

I'm not sure if this jaw tension was solely to blame, but I had a hard time getting my sound "out of my head," if you know what I'm saying; I felt okay while singing, but I perceived my own sound as muffled, as if somebody had put pillows over my ears or something. So I wasn't quite sure if I was tense or if I was just receiving conflicting feedback... It was weird. Either way, I thought hard about not "forcing" the sound out, and just let it be.
