Practice 2/22/16

After yesterday's rehearsal, I read through Cindy's notes and tried to incorporate the things she mentioned in my practice.

• Started out today with quite a bit of dryness and reflux. 
• Buoyancy 
• Think "haaaaaaaahhhh" in the throat (foggy breath space). "Earthy", even while the focus of sound is very high and forward. 
• Anchor high notes with more sense of grunt. 
• Soften the corners of the mouth 
• Try moan/sob posture if sound starts to feel shallow. 

My vibrato is a little strong and wobbly today, so I tried working on the balance of high and low in my singing space, if that makes any sense.
I also tried to focus on what was going well and cueing myself to repeat that with all my other notes, rather than trying to fix the bad things. (This helped a ton....)

• No machine-gunning the notes on descending patterns. Keep things buoyant!
• BIG NOSTRILS!!! This helped a lot too.....
