Okay, this blog is so gonna die; i shall do the honour of reviving it. -_^ so suggestions!
1) should link every tas member down here. i'm sure the chances of them getting themselves updated is higher this way. in that way, people will know what's going on! yeah!
2) really, there should be a media box to listen our WONDERFUL (ahem..) voices! (or at least let everyone listen so they know where to improve)
And oh! here and there you guys please feel free to blog especially if you want to give comments or suggestions, esp to songs. (just ask boon wei if you want the userid and password, or me! i just got it from him, lol)
for example:
general:
1)whenever you have long notes, try to have dynamics- crescendo then decrescendo.
2)before you sing the song, stare hard and study the lyrics. what do they mean to you. if you were the solo, how would you sing it to bring the meaning of the song out. if you were the accompanient, at which part would you stress to give the impact, to support the solo so that the song sound nice. SAME VOLUME AND MONOTONOUS STYLE IS NOT NICE.
3)to the accompaniment, always treat yourself as a solo, of course dont overpower the REAL solo, but in terms of the feelings. just because your lines are full of dos and nahs and dm and oo doesnt mean you can just slack and sing and think the solo is the one everyone's watching anyway. you are as important as the solo! so you've gotta study your lines too, and inject feelings and dynamics to your lines! can follow (1) if u're really clueless. that's just a general guideline i suppose. =D
In any case, it's really fun to sing with you guys~ LOL! if i'm free and i can figure out how to insert the recordings i've recorded during practices, i'd try to make this blog more picture-ry, song-y and not just WORDY.. think it'd look nicer. haha.. and we can all insert links to the original songs so that we can have refernece. (i was listening to hana the original version, sent by hidhir. thanks hidhir! wow, really very japanese..)cant do it now though 'cause i'm in office now. =p will do it when i'm at home!
Alright! enough of my rubbish. see you guys on sat! -_^
sop,
Josephine
disclamer: the comments are my personal ones. so can ignore it if you find it's not good or effective. please dont yell at me or whatsoever if it's wrong technique! >.<
