Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir -- Alto 1

My entry into Eric Whitacre's virtual choir (the "Sleep" experiment). Alto 1 sung by Andrea Asuaje, musical director of No Southern Accent, the University of Florida's co-ed competitive a cappella group.

Please check out Eric Whitacre's blog at soaringleap.com for more information on the virtual choir and to see how you can make your own video.

Hey, Scottie. I know that you mashed up the first eight tracks already, and I was wondering if there was any way I could get a look at it. I'd love to hear it!

[MaddietheWindy]

Ahhh! I JUST "discovered" the virtual choir a little while ago and I'm so happy to see that a Gator got to be a part of that amazing experience!

GREAT! I learn this part in 2009 listening to you, and today my director said "We're gonna to do Sleep again" and I just get home and search for you, so I'm studying with your help again :D

[AChimpNamedSlickback]

Finally, someone who manages to get the concept of straight-tone and can still make it sound great! I hate when people in my choir do this song and they want to make themselves sound good by adding crazy vibrato which makes them stick out like a sore thumb. Good job!

I've watched several of these Sleep audition pieces, and none have the beep at the beginning? Were these videos for the first Sleep or the remake 2011?

amazing breath support!!!!

man, how did you hold "lead" so clear and strong for that long!

I sing alto 1 as well, in my highschool choir.

you are so so so so good!!!

[prestonwellis]

Can I possibly get your email address?

Sorry, I just want to start an A Cappella group at Concordia College this year, and I think I might need a few pointers : )

I want to conduct, but I might also want to sing, and I know that it will mainly be my stuff, but probably a few more people's music...

Anyway, thank you!!! You sound so beautiful, and strong! Beautiful Alto sound!

I love the name of your group! "No Southern Accent", how grand.

Our university, Southern Adventist University has a student paper called "Southern Accent". Funny, eh?

As for the video, pretty good!

This was ok. Could use some work on the low notes because I could hear some scratchy notes down near the Bb at 'mind's aflight'. Also the note on "shadow" and "light" was a bit flat because I noticed that you sang "night" right but I heard a different note on the other two.

But other than that, this is pretty decent.

Keep practicing! Good job!

:O)
