Unleash the song bird

Had my first voice lesson today. It ruled. If you hadn't had the opportunity to take a voice class, I highly recommend it. You learn where you voice vibrates in your head and chest.

If you are a lucky lass like me you get to spend a lot of time imaging your voice coming from your butt. I mean, that is not exactly how it was explained to me. It has something to do with giving your larynx more space, but that didn't deter me from conjuring up the image of a mouth wind up toy in my butt singing loudly and proudly. Unleash the song bird!

Of course, not everyone in my life was so supportive. Here is verbatim my dearest pals gchat with me about how he thinks the voice class went. (All names have been removed to protect the innocent.)

BIG MOUTH: the academy also failed to nominate me for Best Supporting Actor that year for that role it was a crushing blow
wait, what are we talking about??
ohh hhaha your singing
that is very exciting!
solo lessons?
me: yeah lessons with xxx's bf, xxx. he is a real pro asked me lots of questions
about my goals and etc

6:21 PM BIG MOUTH: are you an alto or soprano?
me: very much a soprano
who knew

6:22 PM BIG MOUTH:
VOICE TEACHER: So before we start, what are your goals?

MELISSA: Well, for starters, Im aiming for at least two more dates with xxxx, I really want to commit more to my blog, and I intend to learn how to make at least four more versions of my slaw dish. Other goals include opening up a savings account, improving my pilates endurance, and learning Chinese.

VOICE COACH: Umm...

6:24 PM me: For a man who only cares about himself you actually know me really really well

BIG MOUTH: true
i don't ONLY care about myself! "primarily" would be a better word
I HAVE NO TIME
i threw in the "Chinese" part to inspire you
6:25 PM it's a beautiful language that uses different tones and pitches
and since you have perfect soprano pitch... well i thought you'd be a good fot
fit. CHINA IS THE FUTURE


Cruel. Cruel. Cruel.

What does big mouth know, not much. For this is how I feel after voice class:
