In a four part video, Ms. Fleming uses a variety of techniques to help students improve and understand their voices. In the first part of the video Ms.Fleming's focuses on the sound of a baritone singer (Daniel Shelvey). The expansion of the rib cage was a something Ms.Fleming's emphasized for the baritone singer. This affects me as a singer because I have a lot of trouble in my abdominal area. I can apply this in my own singing by making sure I expand my rib cage. Ms. Flemings mentioned if a sound is too dark the words can’t be heard that well. If it's brighter the sound is projected more and it can be clearer. Something that is stressed a lot to singers that Ms.Fleming's mentioned was to never reach for higher notes. It’s surprising just how common it is for any male singer to try and reach for notes. Another thing that is common to male singers that Ms. Flemings mentioned is to not press when you sing low notes. She mentioned that the sound carries better when the sound isn't overproduced. Focusing on the important words. I assume what she meant by this is that some words in a song have more meaning than others and so a singer must …show more content…
She focused on tension with this student. The first half she used a straw and pencil to help the student with tension. With the straw you can’t use much breath pressure and it helps with tension. It also helps remember where the breath pressure is. This affects me as a student because it helps me understand what the purpose of using the straw is and what is going on as a singer uses it. The straw technique is definitely something I should be doing in my routine in order to help on tension. Something I can apply in my own singing is not gearing up for the high notes. It’s probably very common for singers to prepare for a high note that they are not so confident they can bring out clearly and by gearing for it, it's only gonna increase the chance of that

Notwithstanding Treasure’s use of vocal coach jargon, he does not go so far as to assume his audience fully understands their meaning as they relate to the topic. He therefore provides definitions and oral examples that connect listeners to the idea. As Treasure used lists, supporting points, and definitions, he does fail to provide much testimony regarding the success of these tactics – other than simply stating what is positive and negative. This is likely a sign of understanding his audience’s common knowledge. Clearly there is a tremendous amount of practice and awareness involved in aptly utilizing the tools Treasure discusses, far and beyond splattering them within one’s speaking. Treasure notes this perfectly, as he states: “First of all, I think absolute honesty may not be what we want. I mean, my goodness, you look ugly this morning. Perhaps that's not necessary. Tempered with love, of course, honesty is a great thing. But also, if you're really wishing somebody well, it's very hard to judge them at the same time. I'm not even sure you can do those two things simultaneously,” (2013). The same rings true with the use and understanding of register (depth), timbre (smoothness), prosody (melody of voice), pace, pitch, and
What’s the point Miss Moore is trying to prove bringing the kids to the toy store?
It was the first day of school for many in Maycomb, including myself. I had just moved from a college in Winston Country. Almost 30 years have past since that day in Maycomb when I first saw the school I was to be teaching at. The classroom smelt stale after being closed up for the whole summer, as I met my students who I would teach for the next year. The one child I remember most had a trail of dirty footprints leading to his desk. The little horror looked like he was straight from the pig pen.

As Sarah J Mason, she has also written several novels that include the Trewley and Stone detective fiction series of novels and two free standing novels.

The Miss Seeton series of novels for which Crane is most popular for were originally written and published by Heron Carvic. Carvic wrote the first five titles of the series
He said to himself that she was too light and childish, too uncultivated and unreasoning, too provincial, to have reflected upon the ostracism or even to have perceived it. Then at other moments he believed that she carried about in her elegant and irresponsible organism a defiant, passionate, perfectly observant consciousness of the impression she produced. (43)
Students may wonder in class what is the purpose of learning about authors in their English class. They might also say the author of the book is just the writer so what? All students do is study and focus on learning the story, characters, plots and symbolism. But what students do not know is that literature has impacted many Americans lives and American history in the past years. For example, books are made in to movies, books inspiring people and books are being taught in schools. Yes, literature has change over time but literature has left there marked every step of the way. Some of these authors have not only impacted America but also surf to their country like Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Washington Irving.
Book recordings have ended up being so pervasive as a learning gadget, by virtue of the conservativeness and relative insignificant exertion. In this snappy paced society, book recordings have allowed us to multi-undertaking while examining a book or taking in another bent. The ability to hear how words are guaranteed can have all the impact as far as taking in a tongue adequately.
Stage Speech 1 turned out to be a lot different than I was expecting. I learned about Kristin Linklater for the first time in this class. It was exciting to learn and experience how much our bodies control our breathe and how our tension in our body controls our breathe and our voice as well. The linklater work taught me that the process of relaxing, breathing, and our natural voice is not going to be a straight path to success.
Madame Bovary is a novel by author Gustave Flaubert in which one woman’s provincial bourgeois life becomes an expansive commentary on class, gender, and social roles in nineteenth-century France. Emma Bovary is the novel’s eponymous antiheroine who uses deviant behavior and willful acts of indiscretion to reject a lifestyle imposed upon her by an oppressive patriarchal society. Madame Bovary’s struggle to circumvent and overthrow social roles reflects both a cultural and an existential critique of gender and class boundaries, and her unwillingness to tolerate the banalities of domestic life in a predetermined caste culminates in several distinct means of defiance. Emma Bovary exploits traditional cultural values such as marriage,
After my acceptance to Agnes Scott, I decided to take a gap year. It was a bit of a hasty decision, but it has to be made as I had to wait a bit more to obtain a scholarship. I was unfortunately unable to travel as I had hoped but instead spent the time trying to work on myself more. I meditated, watched and read informative material. Refusing to succumb to the often felt sluggishness that accompanies long periods without a schedule, I have kept up my studies with the aid of some online courses, both with and without accreditation, constantly watched the news to stay abreast of the current events and took up American sign language ( and Spanish… it'd be more impressive no?). Something I've always wanted to learn. I also watched French movies
As I lift my head up and open my mouth, my voice escalates with every tune that comes out. The soothing words bounce off of my tongue and release the tension held within. Even if the sounds aren’t perfect or correct, every little bit helps me get through the day. When stressed, nothing helps me more than singing. My passion for singing comes from deep within my soul, mind and heart. When I sing, I sing with all of me, putting everything I can into it. I have always had a great passion for singing, ever since I was young. Although I am shy and still get nervous and shaky in front of others, in my own time, singing is my cigarette, my alcoholic drink, my escape from all the anger and the pain.
The morning was crisp with the fresh smell of fall, it had to be the quietest morning I as an eleven year old ever woke up to, but not as quiet as last night when the incident happened. Mom was downstairs cooking breakfast, it smelt like eggs and bacon. Dad was sitting down at the breakfast bar waiting for me like he had something to say to me. That’s when I knew they were going to tell me what happened last night. As soon as I sat down, the talking started. “Jon, me and your father have to say something to you” said mom with a uneasy voice.
