ERIC WHITACRE VIRTUAL CHOIR: LUX (Soprano I)

"Courtney Lea"
Soprano I
Iowa, USA

-This video is for the Scholarship audition for Carnegie Hall.

Sorry if I look dead in this video, it was 6 AM when I recorded this so I had gotten up originally 15 minutes before recording. Why? Because if I waited until it was during the day or night, people would be practicing on their instruments and making beautiful noises so I recorded early in the morning to get this footage knowing that no one was going to disturb me.
Now I'm going home to eat some bacon! Woo-hoo BACON! lol
I hope the dynamics come out well (this camera catches EVERY sound) and sorry about not really "rolling my 'R's", I CAN'T DO IT! lol My mouth is unintelligent in that aspect.
I hope you like this Mr. Whitacre!

THANKS FOR WATCHING!

lol If you saw what I looked like in the morning, TRUST ME - you would urge me to put makeup on. lol My friends agree that I look better with makeup.

"Now I'm going home to eat some bacon! Woo-hoo BACON!"

YES! YOU ROCK! Screw the vocals, THAT statement there makes this video AWESOME! LEGENDARY!!

In regard to vocals though, one thing I struggle with is hitting pitches right on and holding them without going sharp or flat. I always start out well, but when singing for a while, I guess my voice gets tired begins to lose the abbility to stay in tune. You're VERY good at staying in pitch though. Any tips?

Sorry if that came out meanly, I certainly didn't mean it that way! Meant it as a friendly suggestion :-)

[essejpatterson]

i sing bass in my high school's choir and I really can't even fathom singing in your (or any other soprano's or alto's) range. loved this though :)

[mackieattack]

@xoclkox I think that you look and sound great! :D

[Arya2611]

how did you do in that audition?

(love your tone, I can't sing like that.)

[Zavedi234]

@xoclkox Haha! Don't worry, everybody is kinda like that at some point, the beauty you feel inside reflects physically on you, so I can tell you're beautiful outside and inside. Rock on!

[EdwBel1918]

no i disagree u are more beautyfull natural like the cover in lithium....!!

[slashess]

not bad at all, the only thing you didn't really do too much though was the crescendo - decresndo, Eric mentioned in his blog to keep in mind of those carefully. Other than that, gorgeous ;)

[somewhatsecret]

Oh my god, I LOVE this song! We were supposed to sing it for choir but we didn't. <33333
