Hey all!
I know it's been a while, but don't worry I've been working a ton. Tonight I'm singing at Martuni's again! Holy moly right? It's been 3 months since that awful last time (lobster claws + muscle paralysis = awesome night). Tonight we try this again.
The 4 songs I'm singing are (in order):
* When You Say Nothing At All - Alison Krauss
* Skyscraper - Demi Lovato
* Te Lo Dije (I Told You So) - Carrie Underwood
* Who You Are - Jessie J
Should be a fun 4.. a nice ramp up from a calm, sweet song to a more emotional and dramatic song, to more power ballads.
The only issue with tonight is that I have an awful throat pain and fever, so I'll be EXTRA raspy tonight - we'll see how this goes.
Updates and pictures soon! Wish me luck!
Best,
Missy

I Told You So X FACTOR!
Hey yall!
Working away lately..
I had a rough lesson with my voice teacher last week. It seems that learning to sing with my larynx lowered took the last 6 months to figure out and NOW, I'm learning how to do that while also singing with my vocal chords together. #NOTEASY. I'm really hard on myself and I got really frustrated when my teacher picked me apart on a fave Kelly song when we tried applying the above technique. I'll obviously not figure this out overnight - but I still get SO discouraged when I'm not getting it. Over the weekend in the car I tried jammin to my Kelly.. and trying to sing allll of those songs that I used to hit so well with my Larynx DOWN is NOT EASY and personally, I think I sound like crap. #lifesucks. Had another panic attack after that happened - while driving. Awesome.
X FACTOR started last week, and HECK YES I'm watching that shiz. I get both inspired and discouraged when watching it. It makes me wonder, is that person actually good or would my voice teacher say it was terrible? I feel like my judgement on others' singing is so all over the place now. I watch and listen to these contestants who sing pretty decently, but are THEY singing with their vocal chords together and their larynx down? NOOOO. And they're getting all this drooling praise from the X Factor judges.. wtf, yo? I dont know.. Could I have gotten praise like that without the crazy money i'm spending on lessons now? Who knows :(
I've been working with my family in Colombia on a Spanish translation of the Randy Travis / Carrie Underwood song "I Told You So". Now Missy-fied into "Te Lo Dije." Looks like we've finally nailed down the lyrics, and now I've FINALLY fit it to the melody. Next steps are singing it over and over and over and OVER again till it's in my body like muscle memory. Voice Teacher wants me to learn this, nail it, and then record it and RELEASE IT! - Cray Cray I knowowww. We'll see if I crash and burn with this or not. I'm trying and practicing a ton.
Technically next Wednesday, Sept. 25th is another Group Performance night (eeeeeeeeeek!) and I have NO idea what I'm singing.
Also, Martuni's is supposed to be that following Monday, Sept. 30th OR Monday, Oct. 7th. My voice teacher wants me to perform and I'm horribly terrified. I REALLY don't want what happened in July to happen again. I've been having more and more of those stage fright panic catatonic episodes. They're happening more frequently, which is NOT good. I really can't seem to get this under control.
I also have NO idea what on earth I'd sing at Martuni's! I'm all over the place.. maybe..
* When You Say Nothing At All (sang it at group but not at Martuni's yet)
* Who You Are (have NEVER performed this one - scary?)
* Te Lo Dije (too soon?)
* Happy? (Leona Lewis - not sure about this one)
* Stay? (Rihanna, meh.. not crazy about it)
* Almost is Never Enough (Ariana Grande - people around me hate it but I really like it.. meh we'll see)
Thoughts anyone? Please send any thoughts or ideas!
This Saturday, Sept 21st I have an extra long lesson with voice teacher. He had brought up recording another song this time (yay!!!!).. He originally thought ADDICTED would be a good one.. but after he picked me apart on it in our last lesson, I may not go with that one. Perhaps IMPOSSIBLE? People seem to really dig that one when I sing it.. or WHO YOU ARE? Obviouslyyyy music videos would need to be shot alongside the new recording that we pick.
Anyway.. just getting some updates and progress down on this bad bloggy.
It's way too late, I have an early art meeting.
Gnite yall ;)

"Addicted" Live Cover
So.. Another push to post something..
Again, excuse the insane amount of nerves I had.. Anxiety and panic hadn't gone away yet.
I stumbled with getting through tears and a closing airway in the beginning of the song.. But I think I found more comfort halfway through..

It's been a week..
Hey all,
I know it's been a while since I last posted - and you're still in the dark as far as what happened. I'm not over this yet.. but i feel like i can talk about it now..
Here's the breakdown if you're interested:
I prepared like crazy. I practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced and practiced. Knew the lyrics in and out. Even had a 1:1 with my voice coach on Sunday, the night before the July 1st performance. We had planned on me going last out of 5 people. I was GOOD to GO. I even left work EARLY on Monday, July 1st to get home, change, prepare and feel good and ready. When I shut down my computer and pack my backpack, I notice my palms are already sweaty and I'm moving at a fast jittery pace.
Once at home and after rehearsing for an hour, Alex offers me a drink at home to start calming my nerves - I say NO because I don't go till the end of the night and I 1) don't want to be totally drunk and 2) I don't want it to wear off by the time I go on!
I arrive at the bar, and my hands are already tingling and numb. I ask for a glass of brandy to start calming the nerves. (And yes, of brandy. #gross. My coach recommended it because it's warm and would coat my throat).
My hands start to tremble, tingle and completely lock up. My 2 wrists lock forward and my hands / fingers lock into .. I don't know what to call it - Lobster claws? Crab claws? Seems like it'd be funny.. but it's NOT when you have no muscle control and you're about to perform. I had to use the table and physically push my hands and wrists back to stop it from locking in this Lobster Claw position (both hands by the way).. but it would just snap back. I couldn't even pick up my glass of brandy to drink it - not even when trying with 2 hands. Claws don't do such a good job of grabbing things. The numbness and tingling have now reached up through my elbows. I notice that my mouth and lips start to do the same. I've now lost control of the shape my lips make to say ANY words at all.. much less control the sound coming out of my mouth. Crap. This is bad.
Then - the icing on the cake.
The people who were set to go 1st and 2nd.. hadn't arrived yet or said they didn't want to go 1st anymore. Because I was the only one sitting there and prepared - my coach asks if I'll step in to go first. Here's my issue - i'm not a dick. If the girl who was supposed to go first doesn't wan't to because her man isn't there yet, I'm not gonna be a dick and make her go. But the price I pay for that is not being mentally prepared to go first and doing it anyway. But regardless, I was still having physical panic affecting my body BEFORE this even happened.
My voice coach calls me to start. And yes, my mouth, throat, lips, wrists, hands, and fingers are all still locked and numb - with no muscle control at this point. I've already started to hold back the tears out of my eyes and I've tried my absolute hardest to cough or choke out any kind of a grunt or sound out of my mouth - barely anything comes out.
The music starts, and I push through the tears and try to choke out words - my throat is closed, my voice is nowhere to be found, I can't even form my lips into the shape to say the words "I can almost see it.." (The beginning of The Climb, my first song).
At that point, i'm force choking at words - not even at a speaking level but at a hacking out words just to get sound out - and the words aren't even correct! I had NO CONTROL over what I was doing whatsoever. My lobster claws couldn't even grab the mic, they just stayed in their claw form through the entire thing.
After doing this for 4 songs - and holding back swollen tears, choking out sounds that sound like a hacking and dying cat - I quickly walked away to the bathroom and sat on the floor and cried. Completely humiliated. Ashamed of what I just did.
How did I prepare and practice THAT much.. and this still happened?
Alex knocked on the door 20 minutes later and walked me to the car (my music binder and purse still sitting inside at the bar tables). I sat in the car and cried and cried and cried.
What just happened?
My claw hands didn't even allow me to brush my hair back - because they were STILL stuck 30 minutes AFTER performing.
I got home and went to sleep crying. I'm ashamed of myself, no.. more than that.
I'm disgusted with myself.
And now, a week later - I have my 1:1 with my voice coach tonight :-/ Not excited about that. Throughout the 4 songs, he kept leaning over to me and telling me to smile, kept telling me to take a bow. HA - THAT was NOT gonna HAPPEN!
Eugh... we'll see how tonight goes. I'm expecting he'll want to talk about it and it's going to upset me again.
What does this all boil down to??
I have a problem folks. It's called having a full fledged PHYSICAL PANIC ATTACK when performing.
Awesome.

Practice Makes Perfect ...?
I skipped group voice class tonight.. But only so I could practice more to see if I could settle on 4 (group performance in a week, eff my life).
Eugh.
I think I have 2 for sures?? Maybe?
Does anyone have any ideas?!?! Not just from this list but from ANYWHERE????
On the up side.. I watched videos of my fave chic Miss Jennel Garcia.. Man that girl is FIERCE!!! I wish I could perform like her.. AMAZING is an understatement. It inspired me a bit :)
Gnite,

Karaoke Anyone?
Hey all,
Needless to say it's been a CRAZY few days. Last Wednesday (6/5) was weekly singing boot camp. That was PAINFUL - i'm such a weakling. For cereal though. Tons of planks and leg lifts while singing. Planks and leglifts on their OWN are pretty brutal for me. I just don't have the core to do it. Anyway.. got through that + had some singing in class. Unfortunately the night before (last Tuesday night, 6/4) I'd had a pretty rough night. I decided I finally wanted to play back all my singing from last Monday night @ Martuni's. Eugh - not good.
I'll be honest, guys.. It wasn't pretty. I sat and watched it all - and from there I buckled down in tears. I hunched over started bawling over what I had just watched and heard. I completely regretted inviting friends and felt like I had completely embarrassed myself. Felt like I'm wasting my money and time entirely and that I've now ruined something that was so important to me. Why the hell did I get up there and do that?! I wanted to delete it all and MORESO - i'm pissed because I wanted to finally get to upload GOOD work onto YouTube. But no. Can't upload any of that. A few things happened (that I've recapped before).. 1) My nerves got to me, my throat closed up as I teared up when standing in front of the mic and that completely stunted my performance and ability to hit the notes as good as I know I can. 2) I was shaking so much that I didn't sing on the mic, I wasn't close enough and clearly sounded off and far away. EUGHHHHHH.
So Mad at Myself. I really wanted to showcase and post videos of my performance but in NO way can I do that. I need to only EVER publish my best - and that certainly wasn't it.
Then I watched a playback of my last Wednesday performance, where the wrong song started playing and I messed up the first verse? While yes, I messed up the first verse - the rest of it sounded awesome! I sounded like MYSELF and the way I KNOW I can hit it. That gave me a bit more of my confidence back but not much.
Fast forward to my 1:1 lesson with my epic voice coach this past Saturday, 6/8. Most of the lesson was a lot more talking through my last Monday performance. Embarrassingly enough, I started crying in front of my teacher. I told him I felt like I'd been wasting my time and that I sounded awful. He of course told me I was being way too hard on myself and that I wasn't as bad as I am describing it. He also told me that the way the nerves took over me was what he had expected. Boo. Anyway, he told me in general that what people were saying was that if I got my nerves under control, I have a pretty big voice to be unleashed.. We'll see about that.
Next up was the weekend: my boyfriend Alex, our roommate Hank, and our friend Fred and myself all went to a Karaoke Bar in San Francisco on Saturday night (Silver Clouds Karaoke). I was really scared but they dragged me out to one at around midnight after having had a few drinks :) Luckily, the entire group there was WASTED. Literally, every person who went up to sing at the mic couldn't even get out a word without drunkenly falling over and cracking up. Hank dragged me to the DJ booth and paid CASH for me to get to get up on stage and practice! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD is all I'm thinking. They call my name and I get up there and sing the HECK out of Kelly Clarkson's "Behind These Hazel Eyes," a favorite of mine. While I could definitely have done better - having drunk fans ask to get to touch my hand and tell me I was awesome was DEFINITELY a confidence booster. It made me feel comfortable to practice this again. Whew :)
See pic below:
I had a ton of fun.. as you can see below:
Next up: Voice Bootcamp tomorrow, and Martuni's Open Mic on Thursday for practice.. cross your fingers for me??
Anyway - sorry for the big post, it'd been a while so I owed you all one.
Wednesday / Thursday post to follow (hopefully).
See yaaaaaaaaaa,

Memorial Day Shopping..
Hey goofballs!
So I did a little damage yesterday..
I walked into Guitar Center and bought.. Everything..I think lol. Hahahahah no just kidding, although it did feel like it when I got to my mountain of goodies at the register. I got the start of what I needed for practicing music at home. What does that mean, you ask?
- a performance microphone
- microphone cables
- microphone boom stand
- piano / keyboard (score!)
- keyboard stand
- chair for playing keyboard
- audio interface (comes with audio software for editing recorded music)
- keyboard/piano pedal
- keyboard cables
- 2 mega awesome speakers (aka monitors)
- 2 books of fun sheet music
What's left?
I need :
- a DESK
- a computer that allows all of the above to be RUN
Whew! 2 major questions:
1) HOW on earth do I put this all together and make it work?
2!) WHERE on earth will this fit in my San Francisco apartment??!
A really good first step but I still have a ways to go.. What I was finding is I would make great progress in my lesson but I'd be a sitting duck once I got home. I'd still practice but just to my lessons recorded and just practice my upcoming performance songs acapella.
I realized I was handicapped. I can't perform live anywhere without being able to play an instrument (seeing as how I obviously have no band) and if I want to take my music to the next level.. Like write my own music or manipulate and change an existing released song - or perform ANY song live without help.. I need to play an instrument!
Soooooo with that being said, I played the piano a bajillion years ago and have since stopped (and focused on dance instead).. So my job now is to rack my brain and RE-learn how to play the piano. Something that can ONLY help me..
Keep your fingers crossed for me, hopefully it comes back to me SOMEWHAT easily :)
Skip to TODAYYYY, my boo (Alex) and I met my mom in the oh so lovely Vacaville (~1 hour away from San Francisco) so we could 1) hang out and 2) so she could give me my dog back (my fluffy muffin Alfie!!!)
She watches him whenever Alex and I travel.. Which works cuz she begs for him normally :)
Hanging with my mom is my favorite, a little dose of home every time.. We shopped a bit, helped her pick a dress for an upcoming cousin's wedding and then had a little dinner and drinks (or maybe it was just me who drank.. Oh well :-p)
Pics below!
Now to focus on my performance songs this week (Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!):
- Clarity
- I Knew You Were Trouble
- Impossible
- I Told You So
My cousin Kelley (who's in an amazing band called 'Breaking Midway') called me today to tell me there's a song that could fit me really well, and that she thinks I could really rock.. Jessie J's 'Who You Are'... Do y'all know it?! I looked it up today and it's an AMAAAAAZING song! A big song, but amazing. Will be trying to check that one out as well.
Okay Luvs.. This Wednesday is the group class performance day!!! I'll be singing Clarity. A week from tonight is my debut at Martuni's!
Holy s**t!!!
For me this week : Practice practice practice!
Until later, gnite! :)
- Missy
