Something that can really help is to pick a recording where you like the singer's sound, and work on imitating it. It can be easier to match a good sound than to try to figure it out on your own.

I suppose I should pick something other than MCR and Fall Out Boy to sing along to, because those aren't necessarily going to help me get my soprano range back.

I sang in at least two choirs all through school, straight through college, and I miss it.

Naturally, since we live in the future, it looks like there's plenty of warm-ups available on YouTube.

Oh yay! I didn't even think of looking on the YouTubes for vocal warm-ups!

only good things are my fault.

I have succeeded in actually getting some things done today, but I am not gonna lie, not my most productive day.

I am having dinner with grown-ups tonight and I feel unattractive and blah. I think I need to change clothes before I head out.

I feel like inhaling and exhaling is making this migraine hurt more. It is true that if I stopped either (or both) the pain should go away, but I don't think that's what the diagnosticians have in mind by "What makes the pain better or worse?"

Hubby was talking to the doctor about some stubborn, ongoing things, and Doc said, "Well, cutting off your head would help, though it would sting for a few seconds." Hubby agreed it would work, then they both acknowledged it's a last ditch kind of option.

There's a volunteer choir in town, but you have to pay to join. No thanks.

That's how you get a good conductor and accompanist, though -- you pay them.

Hi Javachik!

I sing with a community choir which is part of an international network - the website has a directory of choirs that belong to it. There might be something near you.

I'm about to head out to my voice lesson, so this is all very topical.

I bet I made you smile.

Hah. But no. Today that's not happening unless you bear drugs that knock me out. Speaking of which, that's about all I have open to me right now--maybe I can take an Ambien and fall asleep.

If it was not you know illegal, I would be sending you drugs on a regular basis.

Have fun at voice lesson Ouise.

Now I want to sing too. I used to have a decent voice, now I just sing.

Oy vey -- my mother just called to say my father was missing, and by the time I checked the bus schedule to see how long it would take me to get there, he was found. This is why you should spring into action immediately, frankly! She didn't call anyone for hours last time.

well there is an adrenaline rush you did not need today.
