Creativity Week Progress

So I believe that I worked hard during Creativity Week to really practice even though I got a cold and a sore throat. That's life! So I would just like to share this video as I promised and as always ask for your specific constructive criticism.  It will help a lot.
This week was very hard for me because I had to always fight with my feelings of shyness but also inadequacy. I say inadequacy because since I don't have someone to tell me what I am doing right or wrong. How I can improve? I feel that my signing is "not good"... ( I know that this has to do with the fact that my self-perception is not very high.)
I worked this week with the support of my friend Liza who encouraged me to keep on trying all the time. Even if I sang horrible at times. It really helped to have someone to work with even if she is not a voice teacher.

I realized this week that I sing because I know that God exists! I love singing for Him.   

Diaphragm Singing: Harder Than It Looks

So, today I some helpful tips for signing that are very essential. I have never taken voice lessons but today I looked at instruction videos that were very helpful. I still find it hard to only breathe with the diaphragm but practice is essential. So as the days go by the key factor that I am going to have to always remember is to breathe. 

Creativity Week

So, since my dreams of going camping for Creativity Week where shattered. I have decided to work on my Senior Project. OK, this is not to say that I would rather be doing anything other than my project but camping is also one of my most priced and relaxing times I ever experience.

I will basically be working on formulating the scientific study that I will be conducting sometime in March or April. I will have to run it through the experts (panel members Dr.Ott and Dr. Acosta) and get it approved. Once the the proposal for my study is approved I will have to undertake the hardest part: getting an approval by the headmasters at the school's where I plan to have the study. As I have mentioned before,  the study is going to be a comparative qualitative study in which I access when feelings of inadequacy arose first in girls of different racial and economic backgrounds. I will also rely a lot on the information and research I did previously this year. I also have to sent out consent forms for the girls that might participate in the study.

I will also be practicing my singing and will fullfill my promise! I know I have promised in earlier post to actually post my practices but I still haven't... Well, this week I will do it! I ask you all to keep track of my blog and to please give feedback! Constructive critism. This means that you tell me specifically what I am doing right and wrong and how specifically improve. That is the only way I will grow.

For all of you who haven't kept up with my blog I would like to say that I am posting videos of my progress because I am basically chosing to self-teach myself because I could'nt find a voice teacher at an econoomic price. This is fine either way because that is not going to stop me from advancing in the search for my voice and love of singing!

Christmas Event Performance: "This Christmas" sang by Tamar and Chassidy

This was the first performance I ever did in front of a large audience... I would like everyone to please provide constructive criticism. Take into account I have never taken any voice lessons. I would just like to become better that is the part of growth. I also will be posting videos of me signing as a practice.
