singing

December 12, 2000 by krisis

i have the oddest singing range: not high enough to sing along to the high parts of tenor vocals, but not low enough to sing most female parts an octave low. In a way i’m a bit intimidated by my higher range, because i’ve got to belt stuff out for it to come out on pitch. I always approach the notes from underneath for some reason, makes me sound shaky, so it’s either a shaky approach or a blind wailing of the note in question. Either way, it ends absolutely at E unless i venture into falsetto, even if i’m totally warmed up. Usually it’s more like D. However, it used to be C, so i’m getting better. Still not high enough to follow all of the Tenors i listen to (Peter Mulvey comes to mind; i can hit *most* of his notes) though i can sorta sing along with aimee mann note for note, but it gets sketchy on choruses. No word yet on the range of the song i have to sing in Good Woman of Setzuan.

I am so freaked out about singing on stage for this play. I obviously can hold my own in the singing department, but that’s with songs i’ve written myself or while playing guitar. And, the song i’ll be performing won’t be either of those, although there’s a very slight chance i might get to accompany myself on a lute. So, just me, singing, out on a stage, in front of somewhere between 100 and 450 people. I’ll keep you updated (with audio, even).

My voice is so very tied to my guitar in that i can’t ever find any notes to sing other than ones contained within the chord i’m currently playing. Not only does this make my melodies rather predictable, it makes it entirely impossible for me to correctly sing most sparely acoustic Ani DiFranco songs since she doesn’t use normal chords. Want an example? Here’s a low version of To The Teeth, since i’m in the middle of changing strings on my guitar.

Crap, i’m due for a Trio, aren’t i? I tried to get it over with yesterday but i had lost my voice the nite before in heated discussion with my mother. All of my theory and aural classes have left me basically loathing the moment where i strum my guitar and sing; out of over 100 songs that i’ve written there’s nary a one that i enjoy playing right now. Blargh. Someone please request something. Anything. Just don’t make me play my songs….
