Martuni's Tequila & Wrecking Balls

Sooooooooooooooooo UPDATES!

First off.. MARTUNI's on 10/7:

I wasn't nervous all day.. not until the car ride to Martuni's. I started singing in the car to warm up and immediately having a panic attack. Although this time was different.. this time my muscles in my mouth started by throat stayed open. So I could sing fine - just my face looked like someone had hooked my lips backwards lol. Soo.. progress I guess not I guess I haven't gotten passed this.

At Martuni's I get a Hot Toddy but with tequila.. and boy did that warm up my throat and melt away the nerves.

I went 2nd and felt calm and collected as I walked up to the mic.

After singing the first song, my nerves and started creeping in towards the end of the second song.  However, my throat stayed open.. hands were clamping and clawing and my mouth was trying to freeze and be stuck but I pushed through. I think for the first time I didn't suck! Woohoo!


And now..

I signed up for guitar lessons - I decided it was time to finally have something that holds me accountable to learning and practicing - which is awesome! 2 lessons down now and I'm already learning so much.. my guitar teacher assures me that soon I'll be moving towards actual chords and learning how to sing and play very soon :) I can't wait to master this thing!

So my OCTOBER PROJECT: a Cover of Miley Cyrus' WRECKING BALL + Video

Song recorded and edited! Listen to it here:

Now this weekend I'll be shooting the video while singing along as diva-mode as I can and will learn how to edit the video HOPEFULLY before Thursday, 10/31 EOD :)

Stay tuned!

Sorry it takes me so long to update - I promise it's only because I've been SUCH a busy bee.. practicing singing every day, voice lessons, guitar lessons, daily guitar practice, recording, editing the recording etc etc..

Either way.. other covers I'm thinking about doing:

* Grace Potter - Oh La La (Paris)
* Katy Perry - Dark Horse
* Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All
* Taylor Swift - RED

Thoughts?

And FINALLY! Final Four are Chosen..

Finalllllllllllllllly!!!!!!!

After a few days of endless hours of practicing a trillion billion songs, I think I figured out the final four for Martuni's in a few weeks (1 of those will be done in group performance a week from yesterday). 

Being that I had to figure out 4 new songs so quickly, I figured that I had to do a few that I REALLLLY know well.

While my coach may not be thrilled:

- The Climb (Miley Cyrus)

- Distance (Christina Perri)

- Addicted (Kelly Clarkson)

- Because of You (Kelly Clarkson)

The Climb : While this one may be corny, I'm relating to it a TON right now given my journey in music. I don't know it SUPER well so I have a lot of work here.

Distance : Yeah.. A lotttt of work for me here. I found this song 2 hours ago and reallllly liked it.

Addicted : One of KC's from her Breakaway Album, one of my faaavorites that was never a single. Figured this could be fun for maybe getting a little acting in :) The bridge in this song is where I'm struggling, I'll need to focus on that. I run out of breath really fast there.

Because of You : Another from KC's Breakaway Album, a great single that I relate to a ton. There's one line that I need to watch out for - it's pretty up there but I think I can do it.

Anyway, still a ton of work ahead of me.  While I may feel prepared by the time of the performance ( I still have a trillion lyrics to learn - crapppp ), I need to feel comfortable with the music accompaniment. That's where I'm worried.. That's where I.. Am hoping it goes well.

Anyway, it's late. And I am le' tired lol.

Gnite,

Missy
