As of today I have started singing lessons in order to feel more confident about my singing ability for drama and also to learn how to improve my voice work and range, as I am still interested in possibly taking voice acting as a future career. Therefore having a range of voices I feel confident with and are distinct, would be worth having.
During my first session I learnt to control my breathing and where to breath in between lines. I was also showed how to correctly project my voice without shouting by projecting from my diaphragm rather than my throat.
I also practiced using both my bass singing voice and a higher one as my teacher found it odd that I have a high regular voice, and yet only sing in a bass, which is the lowest of all his students. He also reckons that I have a good range and that, if I can perfect my higher voice and not slip constantly into bass when singing then I will have a wide range to work with.
I hope from doing these sessions I not only get more confident when talking and singing in general, but also learn more about the things I practiced today. I also hope to use these skills for future drama work (including my drama trip next week) and maybe even voice acting opportunities.
