In this week’s lesson, I struggled with getting the e vowel
forward. I was frustrated after many
vocalizes on e, but I tried to remain positive. I constantly told myself, out
loud, that I can do it and try again. I
was able to error detect my jaw tightening up. I was too focused on trying to
get the technique right. I noticed when I did one of the exercises faster I was
freer than when we slowed the exercise down.
I enjoyed working with Thomas this week. He helped me
achieve better placement with the e vowel. I noticed my tongue was too far
back, making the sound go back as well. While singing my piece, he helped me
realize my mouth needed to be open more when I was singing. My lips were to
close together, and again; the sound was still not coming forward. Once I
opened my mouth more, singing became more enjoyable, and it just felt better. I
don’t know why I hold back. I think the size of my voice overwhelms me and that
makes me want to pull back.
Lastly, Thomas helped me with noticing that my jaw moves
outward when I sing and it should be down and back. When I changed my jaw position,
hitting the high notes felt more graceful and comfortable.
