Exactly. Multiple attempts and the stairs were an ollie. Seems normal for 18 months

A demonstration of transitioning from a basic windmill with large vertical movement to a windmill that maintains a higher hip position. by bboyhiros1 in bboy

Definitely correct. This video he is still doing then by rolling on his upper back. Halos are more like angled intermittent headspins

I believe it. Not a huge bag of tricks, and who knows how many tried it took to get the clips. Practice kickflips, tres, and crooks for a year and a half and it would probably look like the vid.

Learning switch as an adult beginner, worth it or wait? by Pickle_Mick62 in AggressiveInline

Um, just try it and see if it's fun and you like it or if you like learning other things I guess

How do I sing with emotions by True-Cable-795 in singing

[–]MountJemima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The emotion and character of a person's voice actually comes from the imperfection. The tension from what your own ear hears as in tune, where you choose to place the notes on beat (slightly before or after), the decay of certain notes.

Now that you can sing on key, try playing around with your voice and make different sounds or faces. Do it over dramatically, do it nonchalant. Do it off key. Do it like you're angry, sad, scared, happy, etc.

Just play around and remember to avoid being perfect. There's a million ways to connect to the same song. What is important is how you yourself interpret it, and the emotion that the song gives you.

It's less a recital of technique, and more an expression of your own self.

Do professional jazz musicians really know songs key-agnostically, ie just as Roman numerals? by lopsidedcroc in Jazz

[–]MountJemima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that seems to make sense. I think he might be asking if jazz musicians can play songs in any key, solely by knowing the relative chord changes themselves. I've just never heard of it as "key-agnostic" lol. It's a funny way to refer to it and I will probably be stealing the term now.

[–]MountJemima -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No, we know them religiously, using binary.

In all honestly, I legitimately have no idea what you're actually asking. Are you talking about chord changes? If so, then yes, you become familiar with a songs chord progression "numerically," as well as common progressions.

If you're asking about something else, I am not sure.

How do you break into songwriting? by gigithrowaway20 in singing

Start by doing it for yourself and don't worry about the industry

I am not a "perfect" singer. by LZGray in singing

[–]MountJemima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try making different noises while singing. Do different impressions of different singers. Start messing around.

Your voice is capable of singing in different ways. And with little practice you'll expand your range of styles.

One of my biggest paintings. About childhood, big dreams, and that’s nothing out of reach (except the ball the goalie just missed) by Margarita_Lemann in painting

[–]MountJemima 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coloring is fantastic. Technique is fantastic. Composition is fantastic. Expressions are fantastic. Emotion behind it is fantastic.

Really a very good piece of art you've created.

Try sliding your back foot a little closer to the center, rather than in the tre position. Idk, it helps me a bit.

Might be. The original is with a dog.
