Mini-solo

May 18, 2009 - Posted by danielle

I almost forgot to tell you about my mini-solos at church, but then I saw Squirl’s comment on my previous blog post.

It was about 50% great and 50% okay.

Basically, I nailed it during practice and during the first service. Then, during the second service, the parts of the verses that were in my upper range (head voice) just ended up really weak. Thankfully, my mini-solo ended in my chest voice. So, at least I ended well.

I think that what happened was that I oversang in all of the songs between the first and second service and wore my voice out. I actually could tell that my voice was getting rough by the time we hit the sermon in the second service where we leave and go hang out.

That makes me frustrated. *sigh*

After the first service, the music director and his wife (who is also in the band) said that they should try to have me do more solos. Well, we’ll see what they think after hearing me in the second service. *sigh*

Well, I knew it wasn’t in a great spot in my range. But I’d hoped to overcome it. And I DID overcome it for the first service. Just not the second.

I guess there is something to be said for pacing!

    Thanks.

    There is actually a song this week that has a really difficult verse and I’m pretty much taking the lead with light backup by 2 other vocalists. This week, the music isn’t so straining. AND I’ll know to be more careful.
