Q. I have quite a high vocal range e.g. when I scream its so high pitched that glass should break. I have started to sing classically and I have found that I can sing both really low and really high. However, sometimes when I sing high my voice sounds weak and my vibrato stops. This is completely different on other occasions when I can even sing a high A.
How can I hold my notes and strengthen my vocal chords?
How can I hold my notes and strengthen my vocal chords?
Answer
1. Stand up straight. Stand with your spine against a pole, (or out-facing corner of a wall) head high but loosely relaxed, shoulders back, and arms hanging by your sides.
2. Hold your hands in table fasion position (flat and parallel to the ground) above your lips but below your nose. . . . just do it . . . and say "HA!" loudly. If your not sure how look at a military movie (pretty much any one would do) and mimick the soldiers answering their commanding office. Hold a piece of paper out in front of you (about 6 inches or so) and if it moves when you say "HA!" then your doing it right. Remember how your diaphragm feels. If you don't know what a diaphragm is and you don't feel like looking it up then just remember how all of the muscles in your stomach feel.
3. Raise your chest and take a deep breath. Your back and rib cage should expand sideways. If your shoulders move more than your rib cage lie down on the floor facing up, breath, and remember how it feels. Stand up and try breathing the same way you did on the floor. Breathe for four counts. (like four seconds)
4. Place your diaphragm in the same position as it was when you said "HA!" and sing at a comfortable note . . . . I know it feels weird . . . after you think you have it try going up the scale with the same technique. This is what you should feel like all the time when you sing.
*After your comfortable with it try singing softly. It's harder to sing soft than it is to sing loud. If you can sing something at least at piano (softer than speaking voice, louder than, but closer to, a whisper) then it will be a lot easier to control louder dynamic levels.
*If you still have trouble with your diaphragm and you are an imaginative person then pretend that in your body you are trying to hold an inflated beach ball below water.
*It should never hurt. Though, sometimes it feels like you just worked out your stomach (because you did) after singing for a while or just doing a lot of staccati. (short, crisp, detached notes)
*Never lock your knees. (Don't push them all the way back when standing. The blood in your body won't circulate right and you'll faint after a while.) To stand correctly do this: Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Place your knees a barely-squatting position over your knees. Place your hips (with the top half of your body, of course) over your knees.
Hope this was helpful and not too long! ^-^

How do i create a Greek themed bedroom?
F@$H!#N
How would i go about creating a greek themed bedroom. I was thinking either beach-y or mythological.
1. What colors do i use?
2. What do i put in the room to make it feel like Greece?
Thanks :D
Please provide links and pictures. Thank You!
Answer
Well the colours that I associate with greece is Blue and white, not only because of the flag but from the fact that a lot of the buildings are painted white with a bluRIroof.

Like that :)
I wouls say that a good Idea is to paint 3 walls in white and one feautre wall that beautiful blue colour :)
Also I would say get large(ish) pictures/posters of greece, I know that places print canvases with your choice of photo so maybe you could even use one of your own or maybe some of the buildings, beach or the historical aspects e.g. acropolis.
Another colour I tihnk would be nice to mix in is gold as gold and white to me adds to the greek goddess type feel, I would say get white gurtains made out of a thin material and if you have enough space in your room get them longer so that they 'puddle' at the bottom. Also tie them back with some gold ribbon making sure the draping at the windows look good.
For other room accessories I would say just use nice blue and gold things, maybe a white bedcover with blue and gold cushions or throws, maybe even if you could get hold of some greek flag pillows. Also if you have a canopy bed that would be perfect and use a simillar idea to the curtains e.g. drape sort of like this http://images.hayneedle.com/mgen/master:HOOK454.jpg
For things such as desks or bedside tables you can try and get hold of plaster pillars and add a glass top to them as this would really complete the theme.
Ohh and you can find your name in greek and paint it on your blue wall in white paint :)
