Practice 7/14/16

Today I woke up with so much vocal swelling that I didn't even have to speak to feel how swollen my voice was. I think it's a combination of acid reflux and allergies.

Anyways, I started out following with Lesson 2/26/16, then 2/19/16, then 2/27/16. I really took my time and I didn't push myself, esp. because of the swelling. As a result, I felt better singing than I have in a very long time.

HOWEVER. When I went to go and sing through some rep and I went right back to the bad singing that I've been trying to get out for the last month. I tried really hard to apply what I had learned in my earlier warmup, but it just wasn't working out.

I'm pretty frustrated with how things are going with practice lately. I guess if I were to say something good about this practice session was that I at least found release during the warmup phase this time. Usually, I can't even get past the vocalization part of my practice because singing feels so effortful. Ever since I got back from Korea, my voice just hasn't been the same, and it's been a month. It's frankly very discouraging and stressful.
