SHOW ME SOME POSITIVITY

A recent conversation with a dear friend regarding positivity changed my entire perspective on being human. Positivity negates negativity and simultaneously attracts more positivity. We may fall low at times but how you turn the situation around is in fact just dependant on your state of mind.

There are the few people I came across in my life that are always happy. They naturally attracts people to them (friendly terms). People feel happy staying around them and speaking to them. It's like their positivity overflows out of them and they do nothing! They can just stand there and smile. But that overflowing aura of positivity just negates your negativity and you feel so good just being their friends.

Maybe it's time we all start thinking about why we should stop gossiping about people, complaining about life, etc. And start looking to the positive side to many issues that affect us in life. And who knows, our lives will only start getting better...

And better.

Hello blog for the 2nd time today. I practised "Terrified" for a few times again. I realised this song has too wide a range for me to sing like I did in "Imagination". I think I'm gonna sing it with more power (more air). My vocals sounded more in control and the tone is much richer. It just hit me that different songs have to be sung differently.

Let's summarise certain things I have learnt over the months of my YouTube journey.

1) Different songs must be sung differently.
2) Breathing is critical. More air gives more control and a richer tone.
3) The notes must flow melodiously. Do not let notes fly everywhere or break the phrases.
4) Sing into a focal point. (this one I'm not too sure but it does help in giving me more controlled vocals)
5) Pitch!!! Practise!!!
6) Warm up!!! Doing singing exercises help alot!!! When you sing, it sounds smoother. (refer to point 3)

Okay these are pretty much what I have learnt over the months. I'm gonna continue practising "Terrified" tomorrow!!!

Wish me luck!

Hello blog. I was practising "Terrified" the whole afternoon today. It was enlightening initially, finding out my own style of singing. So what exactly is my style of singing? I'm still in the stage of self discovery but so far, what I learnt is that me playing my guitar and singing. That is the real me. I am a singer-songwriter. That is me.

In the midst of my YouTube journey, I got lost of who I am. I was trying out so many types of songs but I realised the best genre for me is what I did in the first video "Imagination". Just my guitar and my voice, getting into the music and feel the groove. Yup, that's what I do best.

But after recording "Terrified" over 30 times and feeling really good about myself. I stumbled upon some other people's covers and I felt really demoralized. I re-listened to my own recording and I realised although I had the groove, I was lacking in my tone. My notes sounded thin. - Okay I think it's the breathing problem. Not enough air to support coz I'm focusing too much on the groove. I probably should stick with the range and practise more.

Wish me luck. =/
