Shortie Entertainment Auditions
it mid term break! just another about 6 weeks to end of school... then only left with exams.... and year 2 is over~
enjoying my hot cup of caramel chocolate.... to me... a hot drink always reminds me how fortunate i am... to be alive... enjoying quite a comfortable life... with food n shelter.... things that we often may take for granted.....
auditions this week was alright.... the guy (weng yu) that was supposed to pick me up to his place was 1hr late cuz he needed to send a friend to hospital..... he said that he did not have my number with him... well.... i just hoped that he would inform me earlier... but i think there is no need to get angry with him....
the purpose of this audition is to see how we can improvise the songs.... given a more comfortable setting and the opportunity to see our own recordings..... and then work to improve it.... for about 3 hours we worked on improving the 3 songs..... wu neng wei li, katrina, xin xiang yu...
to my surprise, weng told me that he is quite interested in my falsetto voice and hope that i will realise its potential.... he wanted me to work towards those vocal falsetto variations that david tao often does.... he says that i have a clear falsetto voice and i seemed to make it easy.... my personal experience is that my falsetto doesnt blend well with my ''real voice'' cuz my voice is more basey.... and on stage falsetto is harder to control cuz 1 must remain v relaxed.... guess its lots of work ahead for me...
my feeling is that i won't be chosen la... cuz my english singing sux and the market here is all abt english music.... but i have indeed learnt a lot and been inspired by weng.... he introduced me to many singers.... altho he doesn't sing or play instruments much... but he is like a walking pop music library... haha.... he treated me later to lebanese food.. and all we talked abt was music.....
i hope one day can upgrade my recording facilities to make better demos... :)
cooking! last few weeks has been quite fun trying out new stuff to cook.... steam fish, fish porridge, chicken rice!! i try hard to recall how my mum does steam fish... and it actually works!! taste of home!! :)
rehearsals for the plays are intensifying too.... but so far has been having lots of fun.... working together with sporeans..... cracking jokes just like home..... suaning each other... using a myriad mix of languages.... eg hokkien... haha
after some thought, i bought this play piano by ear book from foyles bookstore..... for £13... not cheap... but it is a very interesting book which discusses all about chords... in a music language that i can understand better.... i hate deciphering scores.... the book is interesting and cute!!! it is written by a full time pianist tt plays in bars/hotels/function for abt 30,40 years... he makes all the chords come out alive like real characters!! so glad to have bought the book....
thanks for all the well wishes ppl! every message means a lot to me! so in return... shall let u guys see the audition videos...
