Recordings

Yay it was snowday! I guess it was kinda random to have a snowday when we had about two inches of snow, becuase its Ithaca. Anyways, I tried to take advantage of the snowday, and luckily i had no work this week because Cornell was on sping break. Two events that were supposed to happen today gave me tons of free time to spend for myself. I decided to sing but this time, with recording those. Since i have all my equipments ready and even the software, there was nothing to worry about. I recorded about two hours, which was quite fun, even though it turned out to be not very good. Recordings were really valuable for me becuase it was able to provide me with some great feedbacks. i can't really 'listen' while i'm singing, in here, 'listen' means hearing pitches, breathing and the sound, but my mic can and it did.
The sound i hear when im singing and the sound i hear from my laptop was really really different. It was able to catch every kind of detail that was recorded and there were lots of things i needed to learn from it.
Here are some feedbacks i got from my recordings.
  •  I'm still not breathing the way i'm supposed to. And because of that, i make lots of mistakes when singing high notes and the sound is very unstable.
  •  I tend to cut the voice at the end of the verse, which i am supposed to take it further way. I think it was because i kinda stop breathing once the verse is over.
  •  Some more enunciation is needed. Words i say are not really clear to understand. I mean, i know what the words are, but those are not as clear as the artitsts sing.

  1. Tae,
    This is a really thoughtful post. I like the level of detail and your honesty in using recording to think about and improve your singing. Good work!
