Diaphragmatic breathing
We will start experimenting with diaphragmatic breathing in class. This will be our first step into projecting our voices. This video is a great compilation of techniques, albeit the spelling is atrocious.
Performance Rubric and Homework
Since you will be lip syncing, the voice space will not apply to the Pop Star Performances.
Make sure you pick a song that will best show your star's on stage personality. Rehearse! Try to get in front of an audience so you'll be better prepared on what to expect. If you can't find an audience, the mirror is your friend. Ask yourself:
Am I applying my research to my actions?
Is there consistency to my movements?
Am I prepared for the parts of the song with no singing?
What would the real pop star do? WWPSD *What Would Pop Star Do*
Be sure you have burned a CD with a "friendly" version of the song you've chosen. Check it for any obscene language. (That includes imagery!) Students who do not follow this rule will receive a Z for their performance grade.

Beginnings of Body Awareness
Basic Body Awareness Exercise
In its most basic form the body awareness exercise is quite brief and simple to perform and is generally used as a relaxation exercise prior to performing some deeper kind of meditation rather than as a meditative practice in its own right. The amount of time and effort to be put into it, however, is quite flexible.
In this form the exercise is based around points of contact. You begin by focussing your awareness on the contact between your body and whatever is supporting your weight - the chair and floor beneath you, or whatever it happens to be. Consciously try to let go of the weight of your body, allowing your self to relax and let the chair take your weight; feel yourself sinking down as the tension in your body eases and the full weight of your body is focused with your attention on the contact with that which is supporting you. Next focus on the contact between different parts of your body - perhaps your arms are resting on your legs, or your lips touching together. Try not to move from one point of contact to the next, but rather hold them all in your awareness together, along with the first point of contact (with whatever is supporting your weight). The third point of contact is between your skin and your clothes and the air around your body. Once again try to hold an awareness of your whole body together, along with the first two points of contact.
