Augghh, My ears!!!

You might remember that I have been getting singing lessons. I initially started because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone, try something new and improve something I am terrible at. For the last few months I have been turning up weekly to spend 30 minutes with the wonderful and patient Melissa from Diva Voice Studios in Scarborough. To start with I was terrified and embarrassed but I feel a bit better now and am really enjoying the lessons.

I have voice warm ups and three songs I need to practice each day. I am usually pretty good with the practicing, I'll do it in the car (loudly) and at home when my husband isn't about. Today I decided to try something new, I put my songs on the computer and used the voice recorder on my iPhone to record what I was doing. I thought this may help me see where I am going wrong. Where I should be higher or lower or steadier. I played back my special mix and I seriously wanted to rip my ears off, and this is the improved version of my singing!! I am so happy I didn't attempt this recording any earlier.

My daughters where really encouraging and told me I sounded just like him - ahh, girls...I was meant to sound like a woman. When I told them wanted to rip my ears off and they suggested I remove my tongue instead, they feel it's unfair to punish the ears when wasn't their fault.
