Practice 5/4/16

I'm feeling much better today than I have been. The only remaining bit of my sickness is the thick mucus--I have chest congestion and sinus congestion, and it's triggering my coughing, unfortunately. Took Mucinex and I had Nyquil last night, so hopefully that will help.

• Lesson 2/27/16
• precise onsets. 
• keep the same space, but the sensation of the sound (depending on pitch) may change, and that's okay. Don't try and make a sensation. Be aware of it while maintaining the space.
• "foggy bottom" helps to release the back of the pharynx; you want a forward resonance, but keep that forwardness while maintaining open space everywhere! 
• You don't need to feel the sensation of breath pressure beneath the glottis! THINK the pitch to make it happen! 
• Lesson 4/22/16 

Warm up ~45 min. Towards the end of the Lesson 4/22 warm up, I started to really release, and my onsets were finally figuring themselves out; the phlegm that's sitting on my voice is less than ideal, but eh, at least I can still sing.
