Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John Cover
We're doing a Commercial Vocal Performance class and we get to perform every few weeks! I can get back into posting much more often!
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
Accompanist Peter Kadar!
The start is rough, but once I finally drop into performance mode around when the Chorus comes in. I'm working on dropping into performance mode when it's not a show and just an in-class experience. Oh well, it's all a learning process. Let's go second year MTP!

Starling - Original Song
Переглядів 243 місяці тому
Haven't uploaded anything because I've been busy doing theatre! This one has been marinating in my brain for a while, though I don't know if I quite got to where I wanted when writing it. I'm hoping to overcome the feeling of "it must be perfect" these days. I'm gonna try and record more, but ehh maybe not. We'll see.

I used this song for a school assignment but never got around to recording it! It's so much nicer when you have an accompanist to follow your entrances, but CurtainUpKaraoke is a decent alternative for being back home! - I'm trying to remember to breathe LOW (like make sure I'm not doing clavicular breathing) and to release jaw tension as the song goes. Honestly I'm primarily noticing jaw tensi...

Our fave curtainupkaraoke made this track!! I love this song, but I've never felt 'good enough' to sing it because who can compete with Eva Noblezada?? I'm no Eva, but I like how I sound (mostly) this time around. Also I got cast as Noel Gruber in a local production of Ride the Cyclone! So maybe stay tuned for some fun stuff with that!!

CHOREO CREDITS: Ming Bo-Lam SONG: "Another Day of Sun" from La-La Land This was my first year Jazz final! I have never posted my dancing before because it is SCARY!!! This was my first year of official dance training, I've done shows before, but never lessons. I might post my tap final if I go back an rerecord it. I have so much growing and learning to do as a dancer and obviously my technique ...
Daisy - Original Song
Переглядів 1826 місяців тому
This is a fun little song I wrote for a very dear friend for her birthday! It's bossa nova inspired, and overall just a lot of good vibes. I use a lot of imagery pertaining to the month of April, with the Daisy being the birth flower of the month etc. My ability to play diminishes as the song goes on but we ignore because alas I cannot be good at everything at once.
Pretty Funny - Dogfight Cover
Переглядів 1336 місяців тому
Jess Modaf uploaded a gorgeous accompaniment track, and I've been working on this type of singing in my tutorials, so it's nice to put it into practice and try to produce something good. I've been listening to so much Dogfight recently, and now I need someone to sing First Date/Last Night with lol. As always, it's an imperfect cover, and I'm still learning to confidently use this "mix" part of ...
Black Friday - StarKid Cover!

I've been singing this song for years and it's so hard to post it because I never feel like I do it justice! William Blandino made such an amazing karaoke track for the song. Also the dramatic look at the end is MacNamara saying "You're not dead yet" in the show! - NOTES ABOUT SINGING - 'Friday' is such a hard word for high notes because the 'i' vowel is blegh. The B isn't that terribly high of...
Cool As I Think I Am - StarKid Cover!

Cool As I Think I Am from Nerdy Prudes Must Die!! I've definitely been feeling like beginning of the musical Pete lately wooo. I like this song though, I put the Dirty Boy Soup user's amazing karaoke track through a transposer system so that it would sit a little nicer in my voice. I don't think I'm very cool at the moment, but hopefully that improves shortly

"Maria" - West Side Story
Переглядів 1069 місяців тому
For my historically informed performance practice class, we had to sing a golden age song. I picked Maria from West Side Story! I think it's good to track my singing as I learn and grow as a performer. I hardly ever show my shows or big performances. Music by Leonard Bernstein and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Accompanist - Paul Moody!

    Noone's pointed this out yet so I will- I also love the body language!! You can tell MysticCactus wasn't just singing, they were FEELING the song, and I think that really sells the performance. Well done!! I also liked that MysticCactus did more of their own thing than just following Joey's choreography, alongside slight changes in the tones throughout the song, it feels like a whole new take on the character. This is everything a cover should be, I'd love to see more songs from the musical too!
