In today's lesson we decided to do more run-throughs of both of the ensemble songs that we are going to be performing. We warmed up our voices with the same warm up as we did yesterday as we knew it was effective and it helps a lot when warming up our vocal cords as well pronouncing our words properly when singing the songs.
We started by rehearsing Ho Hey because we felt this was our better ensemble out of the two we have. When rehearsing the song we thought it sounded good and we were happy with the outcome. The higher harmony needs to be a little louder but not too much as we wanted to keep the song calm and simple through the melody and the harmony. We then rehearsed Blank Space and realised we had learnt the lyrics a little better than before, and also the harmonies sounded better. We have found that the high harmony, which is what I am singing, needs to be a little bit louder to make the dynamics sound better.
To make my high harmony louder I need to make sure I open my mouth wider when singing the harmony as it helps boost the volume of my voice. However, the high harmony is right at the top of my vocal range which means that it's a little difficult for me to raise my voice, but I am going to try and sing louder to balance the dynamics of the song.
Once we finished the rehearsals of the ensemble songs, we decided to move onto rehearsing the duets. Again, myself and Amelia decided to focus on the harmonies of the song just to perfect them. We sung along with the original version of the song and the karaoke version to help us get used to the original song which can help us with the harmonies as well. After the rehearsals were completed we liked the outcome of the harmonies and we knew the lyrics of the song which helped us when singing the karaoke version.
