stage desighn "to the max"

we made a tree . yes made a tree out of a 8 foot card board tubes add thin paper can be used as toilet paper for elephants . but not of on a tangent the reason for us using that was its cheep and strong enouf to take the exses branches made from bambo. with the bambo you need to snap them but not so u have two half's so it looks like leaning branches rather than a spikey not tree like thing  . right bulking it up so it doesnt look like a poo with twigs stuck to it. you need shit loads of newspaper like shit loads then  ruff it up and rap it round so it is bulked up this takes a looooong time but its worth it also this means u can paint it . now u may have notced that it hasent stuck at all so use some marsking tape not narmal tape use ur head u cant paint over plastick u numb nut but u can masking tape ;) now once the whole tree has been coverd you can aply paint and leaves

sining to the "max"

im not going to boor you with technical speak much purely because i don't know it 
we started by doing the standard warm up from my previous singing post and then we started .
now we prepped by going up in semi tones  "v e a r oo" now it sounds silly but it is a brilliant technique to find your range further more we approached the "lips , teeth , tip of the tong" going down  now a tong twister very good at improving your diction other word patterns such at red lory yellow lory now hard to say fast but sing it and pronouncing it correctly and your on your way to be an amazing singer well its a start ... 
so we have started on range and diction now all that is left for todays post is harmonies grab a couple of friends preferably all different kinds of people like for example old motor biker for the low notes and a young girl for high and work it where ever you fit in nooo im joking every one has slightly different range so just a few friends will do so between you need 3 or more preferably 6 so there is two people on each part low , middle and high now each sing your parts 1 pitch at a time ( if your low sing first stop then middle then high ) after you have your pitches and you have remembered the pattern sing all to gather and for gods sake please in time or your setting your self up to fall  so try again !!! 
rhythmic patterns boom chicka boom try it with one leader and you biker and little girl and you will learn rhythm just like that easy peeasy. 
now you may find you cant hold your breath for long so if you sway towards the diophramitc breathing ull find it helps but u might faint so do it sitting or lying down first till your comfortable so you don't hit your head because you may be laughed at so practice for 5 minuets every night in bed before you fall sleep i and if u faint your asleep any way !!

4th of october - 11 0f october sining

our first singing lesson we found our original range and learnt many breathing and relaxing exercises but the main focus was on stretching our vocal cords to hit higher rangers
. shake hands for 6 counts then stand like a proud business man
. roll head round slowly (up - right - down - left ) 2 counts on each after initial round
. rase 1 leg at a time to achieve the right leg stance don't try both because you will land on your arse ;)
right now you have perfect stance and have stretched your vocal cords  start by sining semi tones and se how high and low you can reach this is your range. now you need to find out your flexibility start buy doing arpeggios form you lowest note in your range as this will be the easiest and then you can strategically work you way up till your highest note if you can hit every note by humming or "aaa" ing you have good flexibility now to expand this you need to try to push your voice try and do a arpeggio where the highest semi tone in your range is in the middle of the arpeggio see if you can hit the note if you can already then your on your way and keep on moving higher and higher till your voice wont let you and it drops dramatically .

breathing
now to achieve better breaths and being able to hold notes for longer you need to use your diaphragm  
to use it correctly you should feel and see your
stomach stretch out and how it works is by drawing your lungs down
now it is advised that you should the first time lay on your bed on your back as it can
make you feel faint so save yourself from hitting
your head
just under your lungs
