Working on 'You Are The Light' with my teacher. For specifics, see 'About the song'.

From VR226: Deep IH - In Thee, O Lord From VR226: Deep IH - In Thee, O Lord
My teacher was having me do a deep IH with a kind of 'hold' feeing, and going to 'Thee' while keeping the hold. I messed up on the EE vowel - it turned out more like IH - but this was one of the times it felt the best in my throat. - 3/22/08

crescendi and diminuendi from VR223 crescendi and diminuendi from VR223
Just some crescendi and diminuendi from Vocal Recording 223. Also, I go up to the Eb4 at the end.

VR 222 - Fry point? VR 222 - Fry point?
This is me descending from chest to vocal fry. I posted it on a forum for them to try to figure out when I switch to vocal fry.

This is just me doing various things. There's at least 2 F#4's in this recording, a lot of falsetto, a few crescendi & diminuendi, and some other stuff. I think at times my mic made me sound bassier on the low notes than I am in reality. - 1/8/08.

I start off quietly, in a falsetto-based (or some would say headvoice-based) coordination on an OO vowel, change to an AY vowel, then crescendo, adding more chest to the sound. I then go up to some higher pitches on the same breath. From 11/16/07.

This recording is from September 24th, '07, or thereabouts. My voice is getting a lot better after the lessons I've been getting. I'm mostly doing stuff with the AY vowel on this recording.

This is me going up to an Eb4 on a lesson I had with my teacher. He said it was 'perfect'. He seemed quite surprised when I did it. From 8/17/07.

VR 160 song practice VR 160 song practice
My teacher was helping with part of 'That's Why We Praise Him', a Christian song. He said my full voice (that is, a full-out chesty sound) was good up to F4. I deleted parts of the clip to make the file size smaller. From 8/11/07.

I'm getting a lot better. The top few notes might have been somewhat off. I think my voice might be tired, so that would play a role in not getting it right. But, I wanted to upload a recording, so here it is.
