I learned that I need to have a constant balance of both space and proper shape. These two principles are independent while simultaneously connected. Space is constant, while shape is insistent upon the declaiming the language. I tend to close down shape on closed vowels such as [i], and that is something to work on.
I notice that space is the hardest element to come by when I am not doing well emotionally. Anger, lack of confidence, frustration, or despair really close down my singing space. I believe that there is a way to experience these emotions, and use them to not shut down space, but create it.
Today was a very positive singing experience, and I feel very excited for my senior recital to come next semester. I feel that I'm on a good track, and I just need to keep rollin!
