Your lips produce a sound so sweet and warm


I had voice lessons today. I LOVE IT! It was fun. Imagine, I'm learning how to sing!! Haha. I was taught again how to inhale: fill your belly with air and raise your ribcage, then slowly, slowly, exhale. I was taught exercises to help ease my breathing. First I fill my belly with air, then pull it in and contract my abdominal muscles, until I feel a pressure in the muscles in my back. I do that ten times. For exercise. I sang the song beautifully. "When You Say Nothing At All". Ma'am said I improved when I applied her teachings. She let me rest 5 minutes. I drank a bit of water from the bottle and SMS'd my mamy to tell her to ask Tita Monette about th e 30 days of gym workouts. Tomorrow, Inday and I will go to Sousa to try their video-oke at her friend's boss' house. I took a pic of the 'sala' or studio where we do our lessons. :)

After our lesson we had a heart-to-heart talk about everything OMG. She's a psych grad and she explained to me in detail the workings of the brain and gave very good examples. I think it was almost 5 when I went on home. Our lesson started at 3 PM this afternoon. The title of this post is for my Ma'am Vicky Diaz. She tutored Nicole of Pinoy Pop Superstar on GMA7. I admire her. Yeah

We were just playing around with that horizontal light or reflection to the cam's lens. LOL.

First Day of Voice Lesson

Wow, today's my first day to learn how to sing! Yayyyy! I should be worried about if my voice could weather the turmoils of vocalization. I'll tell you later how it goes. ;)


Ciao!

--------------------------------------------
Wow, I had my first voice lesson! Hehe! It was fun. Very fun. I learned so muchhh. How to breathe, how to depress my tongue while singing, how to fluff my cheeks while singing Beeee, to practice holding my breath for 15 seconds, to take a breath before attempting to sing, the different kinds of breathing, vocalization (the funnest part), and she told me to try stretching my spinal cord. She told me not to eat junk food, salty food, carbonated drinks, cold drinks, spicy food and some other thing I couldn't remember. She taught me proper posture while standing, which is up straight, as a support to my upper body. The different kinds of inhaling and exhaling are quick-slow, slow-quick, quick-quick and slow-slow. She said to take care not to let myself inhale fumes while outside and not to let myself be sunned down on. She's very careful with me, very nice. After lessons, she said she lets her students rest for 5 minutes so that their vocal chords can calm down. I Loved it!!!

I Signed Up!!!

*Drumroll* I enrolled for voice lessons, would you believe?? I'm so glad. I think it's going to be awesome!!
Here's what happened:

I took 10 pesos from lolo's jar of coins and told him I'm going to the Lontocs'. So I walked to the intersection and hailed a tricycle. I paid him as I sat inside. When I arrived at the old house I told Mrs. Lontoc that I will wait for my mamy outside. After about a few minutes, she finally arrived and she parked near the Angelica Press. walked over to her and waited for her to see me. When she did I pointed her to which house we're going. When we got inside she greeted Mrs. Lontoc and the other woman who was there with her. She told us to go upstairs to the 'sala' or living room. We saw Ms. Vic Diaz sleeping on the couch.

She told about her life story after my mom mentioned that I recently stopped schooling. In fact, I just started schooling this sem. Hehehe. People like to help. That's pleasing to me.

Here's my schedule. Wednesdays and Fridays at 11 AM. My classes end 10:30 so I'll just eat a snack before going to the house.
