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?

Clarity

Hey all!

It's been a while - sorry about that. Been traveling a little bit and working a ton.  

I HAVE been practicing singing AND guitar so no worries, just haven't actually blogged about it.

I did a take of Clarity again but this time in a more professional audio engineering sense - thank you epic voice coach.

Check it out here:

Let me know your thoughts! I'm noticing my coach but a slight reverb in there that I'm hearing occasionally throughout the song.  


Anyyyyway,
In the meantime, I'm working on defining a 6 song set for a restaurant / lounge performance coming up - any thoughts you have based on the songs I've sung, please let me know! 

Also, if you have recommendations of songs I should practice and try and cover - please please comment about them and let me know! 

I'm thinking about trying Taylor Swift's RED. I really like the song and it's really current right now. I'm also toying with the idea of trying Sara Bareilles' song BRAVE. I love the message in that one - even though her songs aren't normally my style.

Anyway, until later! Let me know your thoughts on this clip of Clarity! 
I'll be uploading it to YouTube with a NEWER video - since this is a better representation of my voice than the one that's currently on YouTube - that one is me SUPER nervous and it shows.

I've also FINALLY ordered a nice pretty mic that's attached to a semi professional sound booth - so my covers will sound a million times better the more I use it. It's the Editors Keys sl300 Studio Mic Set.  

Next steps are figuring out what software to learn and use :)


Until later :)
