Medium-high voice

Gah.

Decided to go back to my twenty-four arias and work on some of the pieces. Flipped through the book and figured se tu m’ami should probably be the most suitable piece for me to work on now. There’re some Gs and the interval (Bb - G) I have problem with in dalla sua pace. Finding placement is, as usual, a pain.

I seriously think finding the new voice in dalla sua pace is probably a new yardstick for me to work my voice around, given I can’t shed the excessively tensed and unproductive voice at the lower range. I’ve been working placement out on the descending scale and G major works great.

Found out the problem only when I took out donizetti and bellini to browse through. I realised I couldn’t manage them like how I cannot manage pieta signore. Gah!

Probably going to put dalla sua pace aside for now. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to do it in a single setting because of my loser stamina but knowing that I’m on my way there is certainly somewhat a pleasure. I’ll continue working on my stamina, I think. It’s probably one of the only things I can work at while being away from the singing for the bulk of the week.

I’m not sure if this is new direction but I’m certainly enjoying it while it last. And very honestly, I can’t wait to resume classes.
