Jared Daley TNV Chapter 11

Be true to yourself! That really sums up the chapter. Once we discover ourselves we must fully and openly continue on that path as we pursue a career. The Fach system places us in a box. Don't limit yourself. Your repertoire will emerge naturally as you develop your voice. Choose rep you love and want to sing. Find pieces you can connect to. Voice category labels are subjective and often meaningless. What people are looking for is constantly changing. Be true to yourself. There is power in positive visualization. You can imagine yourself looking great, feeling confident, having energy, and feeling freedom in your voice. First visualize physical atmosphere, and enter with confidence. secondly, visualize each aria or song and what you are trying to communicate with each one. Third, sinf through pieces mentally, notice how it feels free. When it's time to sing go out and do it! Learning rep- 1. study the text. 2. Speak the text. 3. speak text in rhythm. 4. get pitches in your ear. 5. sing it. Rehearsals- marking is important. If you can't mark properly than it's better to just sing out. High falsetto is used with no tightness or air flow restriction. Singers are actors, they feel the emotions of their character. Bodies can sometimes respond to emotions with muscular tension. We must learn to convey the emotions rather than feel them. Warm up before performance, don't condition. You must be prepared for your role. Learn it, know it, love it. Then there was the random section on financial planning. We must be good with our finances. it's pretty simple to me.
Key terms- Positive visualization
Key concept- Like I said before we have to learn who we are and be true to it. All our choice should be made on our own, based on being true to ourselves.
Connection- This may seem dumb, but I became a better singer after I came out. I gained more confidence and became true to who i am.
