LaeKin Burgess Partner Practice

I partner practiced with Bric Slade this week. It was really fun and I actually learned a lot from listening to him and trying to give him suggestions for his practice. We have similar struggles in singing, I think.  His voice was really tight when he sang for me because he had been sick and tired so I told him some things I do when I have a hard time letting go of unnecessary tension. We ended up making some progress and having a few epiphanies if nothing else. He told me to work on the characterization of my piece. I didn't even realize how poorly I did in this aspect of my singing. The song we worked on is supposed to be this really romantic song and I didn't even think about the words while I was singing (probably because I was more concerned with the pronunciation of my French). I felt like this partner practice was really helpful. Having someone there while I was practicing helped me be more aware of what I was practicing.
