1)
You've worked
on a group film and on your own. In which situation are you most comfortable -
group or solo? Which do you work best in?
Solo and solo. The reasoning is quite conceited, though it helps me in the long run. The reasoning is, if I work with others, I seem to be very meticulous and self-demanding- meaning, I need everything to be perfect and my way. I mean that with the greatest degree of benevolence because I do not mean to say I refuse to work with anyone, nor do I believe anyone is anything lesser of what I am. I also feel more comfortable working solo because I like to work on my own projects
2) What did you learn that you expected to learn?
I learned and became familiar with proper terminology, technique names, examples of famous tenors, and proper techniques through interviews of the singers themselves. I also learned to use proper warm ups, and increased voice projection
3) What did you learn that you didn't expect to learn?
I learned some Italian… I didn’t intend on doing so when I wrote my initial statement
4) What didn't you learn that you expected to learn?
I learned that through not warming up properly, or not using proper form, resonance would be lost, and the vice itself may be damaged as well.
5) Praise your amazing achievement and explain your brilliant plan for pulling it off.
Ii realized that through working on my voice, and practicing the new technique I had learned, I would pull of a good project. I had worked on my vocal projection throughout the week, and at the end, I was ecstatic through the results. As compared to my past technique and sound, there is no comparison! It was a success from the start because I had two goals in mind. First was to work on my breathing. Second was to work on my resonance, and they both turned out being a great success. It was all due to my increased breath intake and my improved jaw positioning’s. Now I realize that those two things were one of the biggest challenges in learning that style of music. I pulled it off pretty well, and it has helped me move on to the next steps in improving my voice.

1)
How much time did you spend working?
-any moment I had free, I would use to work on the project. I was thinking of it day and night, working on the sole improvement of my voice. That was the main incentive and motive behind the entire project.
2) How much time did you spend thinking about the work - sort of sitting there and staring at it, or listening to it over and over again, etc.?
as I mentioned before, it was a night and day process. Any time I was able to think of it, I would do so.
3) How much time did you spend doing other stuff that seems like work to that make you think you're working but you're not?
I wouldn’t do this, at all. It was a completely focused project, with the intention of benefitting trough the works of it all. It wasn’t time to play around, at al.

4)
How much time did you spend socializing?
none,
5) How did you use your community?
I only asked a singing teacher for advice on an accompaniment, that’s all.
6) Rip apart your awful project and how did such a disaster happen?
First off, the day of the performance was a bad day to begin with. I woke up sick, and almost spending the day at home. My perseverance though it all kept me from staying in bed all day, and pushed me to school. I was not fully functional, at all. I used all my energy during the day for studying, but when singing time came along, I was running on empty. My voice was sore, and I was dehydrated. Once I began to sing, it felt like sand paper was rubbing against my larynx. I felt awful, but apparently the audience enjoyed it very much. I was not self-satisfied at all. My resonance was off on the low notes, and the high notes were strenuous on the voice because of my sickness. I also had bad posture. This, I do not blame on the matter of being ill; I blame this on myself for not keeping good posture. This caused me to have shorter breaths, and made longer notes harder to hold out. I also did not “lift” my throat throughout the piece. This also was the culprit to the stress on the vocal cords, during the higher notes. I also had bad lip positions. Resonance was not at its fullest because of it. The entire piece needed work on the Italian pronunciation. Technique needed work throughout the piece.
7) You've completed a step on your path. What is your next step?
none,

7) You've completed a step on your path. What is your next step?
I know exactly what to
work on, in terms of my next step. It’s all in the technique and projection. I have
corrected my breaths, meaning, I can retain longer breaths, and I have
corrected my bad lip and throat techniques. Next step is all about making
improvements to those fixed techniques, and solidifying them into concrete
forms. Perfection…Perfection…Perfection….
