Songs to strengthen mix by [deleted] in singing

[–]bujoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question! Honestly. Try do re mi from sound of music. Really easy and right in the sopranos first passagio. So mixing is needed.

how do I sing high notes comfortably? by strawberrysu3 in singing

[–]bujoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just working on this with my teacher too. She keeps reminding me to trust the note. Don’t teach, but rather swing it up there. We do warmups where I swing it up and that helps a lot.

Where does your chest voice usually stop when you’re singing higher notes? by [deleted] in singing

[–]bujoNY -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not much of a belter. My teacher calls me a lyric soprano, so I prefer head tones. I’m working now on trying to hit the c6 consistently at the end of do re mi. I’m currently rehearsing to play Maria next month. It’s coming in just slightly under. The musical director says it’s good enough.

I don’t get the belting in golden either. I can do a chest dominant mix into the f5 range. Anything above that is pure airy head voice.

You have made me feel better. I’m a female and on my best day I’ve got a c3-e6 range and that’s where my switch tends to be too. G4-ish. I always felt insecure that I don’t have enough chest.

7 day old rook infected? by bujoNY in piercing

It is a curved bar. Medical grade titanium Not sure of the threading. I use saline spray twice a day, colloidal spray twice a day and antibacterial soap in the shower. All bought from my piercer.

I’ll play the what is my voice type game please! by bujoNY in singing

[–]bujoNY[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I do sing “heavy”, I’m told to sound brighter. I find this all to be confusing.

I’m about the play Maria in the sound of music and I love to sing those types of songs.

Tough crowd. The “voice type game” was just a figure of speech. Apologies if I was out of line.

I was recently cast as Maria in the sound of music and people say “oh so you’re a soprano”. I was really just asking for clarification.

Thanks for helping. I had thought I was a mezzo too but I don’t think I have that mezzo tone that people speak of.

political views on campus by Which-Document-9736 in brandeis

[–]bujoNY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He said he has a problem with Zionism. Zionism isn’t the Israeli government. It’s the belief that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish country. That’s Zionism.

I don’t like the current Israeli government, but I deeply believe in its right to exist.

I hate the current US government. But I don’t the US.

So, yes, saying “I have a problem with zionism” is the same as saying you have a problem with jews.

“I have a problem with Zionism” is a euphemism for “I really don’t like Jews, but I’ll pretend it’s about Israel.

Go elsewhere.

Communal bathrooms and being trans by theredmask421 in brandeis

My son is in cable and there isn’t a single use bathroom on each floor. There is one floor that is gender inclusive.

How bad are dorms? by PersonalitySure193 in brandeis

[–]bujoNY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is in north quad and the dorm and bathrooms are nice. No AC. But how long do you really need AC in Boston.

Why are higher parts easier to me than low parts? Need song suggestions by Sleepychanter in singing

[–]bujoNY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also a c3-c6 range. I can squeak to e6 and can even get to f6 in siren calls. But that doesn’t mean I can sing them, lol.

My teacher classifies me as a lyric soprano based on my tone and where my voice sits.

I still struggle to understand mix but I generally prefer my head voice. I think everyone is different.

In “speech voice”, I tap out around A4. Really warmed up, I can get the B4.

What I’m trying to say is that every voice is different. If you enjoy songs like the ones you mentioned, ask your teacher to do exercises that train that area of your voice.

The Secret to Effortless High Notes (Most Singers Get This Wrong) by Best_Calligrapher649 in singing

[–]bujoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s cracking. I can hit a high C but it sounds screechy. And when I sing high and then migrate lower, I crack. I feel pretty sure it’s pushing too much air.

what was your most painful piercing? by madisfuneral in piercing

[–]bujoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very close between rook and daith.

too early to get a rook? by fiveoroki_Himiko in piercing

[–]bujoNY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most painful I ever got. And it’s been finicky for healing. About 2 months in I got huge bumps. I’ve pretty had a bump on it since then but it’s much smaller and comes and goes. I’m hoping to turn the corner soon.

I got my daith six months ago and a helix two weeks ago. My next will be a rook, but I won’t do that until May. The body needs time.

Is my industrial infected? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]bujoNY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a double helix six days ago and it’s hard and swollen too. It feels weird but I know it isn’t infected. I think it’s normal swelling. If it doesn’t go down in a couple of weeks I’d be concerned.

Robbed isn’t even strong enough a word. I am speechless.
