Vocal Instrumental Studies Week 3 (11/11/15)

Week 3 Vocal Studies

This week in vocal studies we were shown a power point presentation on speech quality. During the lesson we were learning about what speech quality is and the advantages on practicing which is; improvement with you're diction, this is where you show more articulation with how you speak and sing. Also singing with  a clearer range of tone.
We were then given a list of song examples that show great use of diction and some of the examples were:'Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own', 'Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walking' and 'Jay Z - Empire State Of Mind'.
As a practice exercise we were told to choose one of these examples given so that we could see and feel what diction is and how it sounds; so for me i chose to do 'these boots are made for walking - Nancy Sinatra' i only sang a couple of lines as i was not as familiar with the song  however i gave it try and was recorded to show my video evidence. Here is the video link of my speech quality exercise:

During this week i decided to start practicing my songs that i chose to sing and try and work on diction and speech quality.The reason why i did this was because i wanted to get into the habit of working with this kind of control as this is one of my Vocal Goal aims.
