When You Say Nothing At All - Live Cover

Hey all!

I finally got the full song uploaded from last week's performance.  As I've mentioned before, every last Wednesday of the month is a Performance Day. This last performance, my voice teacher and I decided to go with something a bit sweeter... It was OKAY. I was a ding dong and did NOT warm up before singing so it's not by best but hey.. it's alright for a tiny performance day. 

Check it out here: http://youtu.be/iiWhVtEUFK0


And here:




I'll upload the sound clip to Sound Cloud if it doesn't sound horrible.. that room has a solid echo..

I'm currently working on a spanish version of Carrie Underwood's "I Told You So".. my voice teacher wants me to perform that at Martuni's in a few weeks and then he wants to record it and release it! EEEEEK! We'll see how I do :)

Let me know what you think!

New Music Goodies!

What upppppp y'all!

Got some new goodies in the mail this week!!  Check it out!: 

A MINI RECORDING STUDIO SET!  Complete with Studio Headphones, Recording Mic, Pop Screen, and Sound Booth :)

Ohhhhhhhhh yeahhhh baybeh bayyyyyybeh!!!!!!!

Now all I need to figure out is how to use editing software. I'm between using Cubase or ProTools.. And I'm also going to do all this on a spankin new Music Only laptop.. Recommendations anybody?? #musicnoob

So excited :) 

So I was SUPPOSED to do another 4 song set at Martuni's on Labor Day but unfortunately I'm flying back in from out of town that day.. So now my voice teacher and I are focusing on 2 things:

1) My voice- now that I've learned how to sing with my larynx down, I now need to try and do that with my vocal chords TOGETHER rather than apart. Umm yeah, NOT EASY. I was kicking myself for not figuring it out on the first go.. This will be a long process..

2) figuring out what my SIX SONG SET will be for the lounge gig in September now! Bahhhhhh! Scary.

Right now we have 2 likely ones to be on it:

* Jessie J - Who You Are

* Alison Krauss - When You Say Nothing At All

That last one: When You Say Nothing At All - this is the one my voice teacher wants me to sing at the monthly Group Performance Class this Wednesday, 8/28.   BAH! I wonder if I'll EVER get over this crazy stage fright.

Anyway,

A few new songs I'm considering to add to my cover list:

* Karmin - Acapella

* Ariana Grande - Almost Is Never Enough

Let me know what you think :)

Later!

What's this shiz about?

Yooo world!

(I promise this will hopefully be the only time I write this long of a post!)

So - adjusting the direction (and attention) to this blog a bit.

Originally this was going to document my efforts to get back into dance - we're shaking things up a bit.

While dance is something I've always adored since I was young, I've decided to put my funds and efforts into trying to make it in the music industry.

There have always been 3 hobbies I've split up my attention to since I was a small chik-a-dee:

• DANCE
• SINGING
• ART / PAINTING

While art / painting is something I've always wanted to improve in, it's always taken a back seat to my first 2 loves: Dancing and Singing.  I feel like I've somewhat satisfied my art itch by always working in the art world.

That leaves me with Dance and Singing - Dance I prioritized in age 3 - 22. NOW it is time to focus on music.

Not gonna lie to you - I've always kept it in the back of my mind because it's something I'm TERRIFIED of pursuing.  I'm terrified of someone telling me I suck.  My knee-jerk reaction would be "Crap, if I suck why did I even try this, what am I even doing - I'm THAT PERSON who thinks they can sing but really can't carry a tune".  

#EMBARRASSING.  #HUMILIATING.  #MYWORLDisOVER. #CRYINGaRIVERinMyPILLOW.

But I decided you know what? I need to stop living in so much fear.  If I suck, then I suck - at least I tried.  Singing is SO personal to me - and being great at it means EVERYTHING.  

So.. I enrolled in voice lessons with a rock star voice coach who is PUSHING ME to do performances.  This blog will document all of my ups and downs in that journey as well as asking for help on song choices / photos / looks etc etc - all that fun pizzazz.


SOOOOOOO...

My first performances are as follows:

• Wednesday, 5/29 @ GROUP VOICE CLASS
• (eeeek. I want to die. so scary.)
• Monday, 6/3 @ MARTUNI's PIANO BAR (San Francisco, CA)
• (above eeeek x 1 million)

Right now the song set is the following:

* I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor Swift)
* Clarity (Acoustic - Zedd ft. Foxes)

Possibly:
* Because of You (Kelly Clarkson)
* I Told You So (Carrie Underwood)
* Todo Cambio (Camila)
* Impossible (Shontelle)

Still working with my voice coach on which 4 will be the best choices.

Thoughts anyone? Updates coming to you on Wednesday from group class day ;)

Yours,

Missy
