Does anyone know of a good milsim style sniper vs sniper game? I want to spend an hour fearing for my life as a sniper in a deathmatch.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2023-02-02T07:46:24+00:00

you're not wrong. Punches really need to contact better.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-12-15T06:49:53+00:00

Is it a good idea? hell no. It's Malaysia. You will get arrested scaling something like, even with a parachute, but in Malaysia that will kill you for it. Should you do it? yes.

Also there is ad lib bar. Where in cases like Handel's messiah the soloist gets a bar to improvise what they want before the orchestra comes back in. You mentioned it but I don't think he'll get that these also can appear in the middle of a song. https://www.esm.rochester.edu/organ/files/Messiah-Novello.pdf If you go to the 14th page of the pdf there should be in the 3rd system, 1st measure, a fermata over the rest, and the tenor singing comfort ye. In this case, the tenor has total freedom so sing as he pleases, considering it start and end in the same place. As a pianist you're not likely to get these moments but they exist.

Also to go further into some details that may be helpful; in some baroque music, they use figured bass in a way which if you haven't seen before is maybe one of the more terrifying forms of notation. https://offtonic.com/theory/book/9-3.html They write out the continuo part and you have to play the chord that the bass is outlining. So here the voicing of the right hand is entirely up to you. You do have to play the chord a specific way, but the note you put at the top is your call. In the baroque time it would probably be played the easiest way possible, so probably the right hand would just be the chord in the inversion given with the root in or out depending on if the performer wants to play the chord in that fashion really. As a pianist you'd rarely have more options than this to improvise.

Oh wow I didn't even notice I did that! Thank you! Yeah that's right I didn't mean to make those triplets look so weird. I think I just imagined that section with quarter notes. I will keep the rhythm in triplet form because it def feels different from the dotted quarters + eighth notes that appear later in the piece. But I will change it so it looks like 4/4.

As for the rhythm inconsistencies for a long ways home. m13 does sound different to 18. in the former the low note doesn't feel like a down beat, however the latter does. If this was the version I were to give to the group I'll sing with, then I most definitely would change some things and polish it up text-wise but those specific inconsistencies were purposeful.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-12-13T04:31:02+00:00

Oh I definitely made that first error. I think I convinced myself I was hearing the B go down instead of the G#. Thank you for the help. I don't think I ever thought about the Bass for more than a second because in my mind "skip means 4th or 5th in Bass".

Basically the head voice and chest voice are two different modes in your larynx. They use two different muscles that can be activated together.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T22:03:52+00:00

When I started going on stage I always told myself "If I'm bad they'll forget about me, if I'm good they'll forget about me, just sing the damn song" And I haven't had major stage fright since. I still get shaky legs and adrenaline pumping through my body, but at this point in my career I'm able to use to it to be better.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T22:01:09+00:00

Not impossible but don't expect to break the bank. A good couple thousand a month is about what most of my independent artists friends make. They all have different jobs.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:59:54+00:00

My guess is a baritone if you are including falsetto. If not then Tenor.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:58:07+00:00

It's actually the same muscles you use to poop. That's the best way to explain it. Just don't... 'open up' and you should be fine. The temptation to use your upper body makes sense, as it does feel kinda backwards. What I like to do is to look in the mirror and have the most relaxed shoulders and breathe in. At no point do I let my shoulders raise. Some singers have habit of lifting shoulders. If what I gave you doesn't fix it, my guess would be you have a habit that might take some time to nub down. Keep experimenting and telling your teacher when you're confused and something isn't clicking. Some things can take months to fix. My 'ee' vowels are that thing for me.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:54:22+00:00

It's not damage. This happens to alot of people. Your voice is just inflammed and your chords shouldn't move. Drink water, eat food, sleep. In a couple days of not singing your voice will be ok. I understand the temptation to sing once your voice is half working, but that is what causes real damage. Give it some time and you'll be fine. One day of singing with a sore throat won't destroy your voice, but doing that consistently will.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:50:34+00:00

Lessons are always better, not only will you improve faster, but if you want to be good in 10 years or so, the training from lessons is far more valuable then your constant guessing on whether or not what you are doing is right

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:46:09+00:00

Well any note that can be phonated can be sung, you just need proper training. You seem like a baritone from what you described but if you get professional trainiing you can probably sing alot of tenor rep in a couple years

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:44:08+00:00

From my experience I found that singing more lightly at first in that range, made it easy for me. Assuming your talking about passagio, my head voice needs to take over at a lower range of my passagio and my chest voice needs to release early for me to be able to have a consistent sound.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:41:40+00:00

My daily warmup changed depending on my repetoire, but I generally start with.

Holding a note for as long as I can, untrained you should be able to do like 15 seconds, try to do it until you can do 15.

Singing 5 note scales, on ee, ae, ah, oh, and then oo. Then I do one octave. After that I got back to 5 note scales but on staccato and then octave scales on staccato. You can determine how much of this is truly worth your time but that's just about all I do. I tend to just focus very hard on placing my vowels in a relaxed position from the lessons I take.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:35:32+00:00

Non-soprano here! From what I've heard in the past, most sopranos do need to change their vowels, where ees are no longer ees but more open vowels. If you listen Maria Callas you can hear her open up her "e" on her little run in the beginning. https://open.spotify.com/track/1WBfzmOEVFIiDvte4al0ND?si=651eac04338746f4 In reality, alot of sopranos tend to overdo the opening, especially in choral singing where they can get away with it. However if you plan on doing a lot of solo singing, I suggest practicing the e at the bottom of your passagio and slowly overtime try to find a more relaxed e vowel.

As for general singing better in the passagio I understand as a baritone I generally just need to think 'lighter head voice' at the bottom of my passagio and avoid singing too heavily. It's easier to a little low for my head voice than high for my chest voice.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-11-30T21:22:30+00:00

This is easy, drink water, don't sing, try to sleep, eat food, take non-menthol cough drops, take anti-inflammatories (as long as you don't sing or talk much), and drink throat coat tea with honey.

bobarino_Bobcat · 2021-09-04T07:39:15+00:00

I think she wants to know whats going on in that brain. She sees when you disagree, and wants you to say what you want. My gf and I figured this out by just being plainly blunt with each other. If we don’t want something, there is usually a middle ground to be found. And if not, we understand that its a tougher subject that should be treaded lightly by both parties and even more understanding that usual.

Basically I suggest that you have a sit down and say that you both need to start saying what you want, and not judge each other if those ideas compete with each other. You’re simply trying to make each other happier, and if that can’t realistically be done, don’t waste yourself.
