January 1, 2011: 1/30 Daily Practice Sessions

Daily Practice Session #1Technical Concepts - Breath support and focus of sound
Minutes - 25 minutes

Repertoire - Terrified by Katharine Mcphee and Everything I Know from In the Heights
Minutes – 35 minutes

Successes – I have completely memorized Terrified! Woo! After being sick for an entire month, my voice is slowly making progress and my lungs aren't as tight anymore.  With all the breathing exercises, I feel like my breathing is getting stronger.

Areas for improvement – I still need to keep doing the breathing exercises because my support is not where it needs to be, but I still made progress.  Also, my focus needs to be more focused.  Every time I would sing a note that didn't sound right, I would forget all about my focus and just try to get the note any way possible (which is not good). 

Notes: I decided to do less singing than I normally would so I could have extra time to warm up and strengthen my voice.  I'm taking steps to get my voice strong again!

Goals and Support Group

Hello Friends!

My goal is not to look at this as a challenge but rather as preparation and one step closer to my dream.  One really big goal I have is to become a better dancer and I plan on pushing myself to the very end-I'm really excited to have the support from all my family friends!

My Support Group

Judy Morales: Mom
Don Morales: Dad
John Archuleta: Boyfriend
Pat Seligman: Aunt
Josiah Zamora: Cousin

These people are in my support group because they have supported me in everything I have done.  My parents, aunt and boyfriend have seen every single show I've been in...literally....every show and I'm so thankful for that.

Good luck to everyone participating in this challenge.
