WOW, thats long!

waits patiently for someone to reply to me

it is... hold on... I can help with that @Julie_Martin...

here is Toby Mac's version:

I feel the blood rushin' through my veins
I'm ready for change
They keep tellin' me to stay in my lane
But it's screamin' my name
My heart is racin' the elements we're facin'
Got us pushin' through the night
I feel the pressure, but when we come together
We'll journey to the morning light
It's our destiny
No separatin' us 'cause we're family
Beautiful together
I do believe we can do anything in His name
A new day is on the horizon
A new day is on the horizon
If you can see it, I can see it, we can be it
I believe in nothin' gonna stand in our way
A new day is on the horizon
Uh, thicker than blood, thicker than earth
Soup ties so deep and wide
There's comin' a day, comin' a day we gonna rise up
We won't give up the fight
It's our destiny
No separatin'…

here's Hollyn's version:

My mind is a bittersweet place
Always leaves a bittersweet taste
When I go there, I don't wanna stay
Let's visit on another day
But human is a tough disease
Yeah, it's slowly killing me
Yeah
But there's another side existing still–spirituality
I just wanna know You better than I did before
And I don't wanna stand here
Knowing that there's something more
Something more
On the horizon
I keep pressing till I find You
Yeah, I know that You're out there
I hear You loudest in the silence
Lord, where are You? (where are You?)
You're takin' me to only God knows where
But I know that I'll find You
Yeah, on the horizon
(On the horizon)
Your beauty is a sweet dream
But it's only killing me
Hmm, yeah
Daddy always told me, you're going places
But it's…
I just wanna know You better than I did before
And I don't wanna stand here knowing
That there's something more
Something more
On the horizon
I keep pressing till I find You
Yeah, I know that You're out there
I hear You loudest in the silence
Lord, where are You? (Where are You?)
You're takin' me to only God knows where
But I know that I'll find You
Yeah, on the horizon
(On the horizon)
Your beauty is a sweet dream
But it's only killing me
Hmm, yeah, yeah
And the sun rise, the sun rises in the morning (yeah)
And my soul's eyes, yeah, my soul's eyes finally see (I see, yeah)
Your beauty in everything (in everything)
You're closer than I can dream (I can dream)
You're standing right in front of me
Ooh-whoa-whoa-whoa
On the horizon
I keep pressing till I find You
Yeah, I know that You're out there
(Out there, yeah)
I hear You loudest in the silence
Lord, where are You? (where are You)
You're takin' me to only God knows where (only God knows where)
Yeah, I know that I'll find You
(Oh, I'll find You)
On the horizon (oh)
What do you see on the horizon?
Where are your dreams?
(What are your dreams? What do you see?)
On the horizon
Horizon
Oh yeah, You're shining so bright, so bright, yeah
On the horizon
Take me deeper than I've been
On the horizon

oh! this one:

WOW, thats long!

waits patiently for someone to reply to me

that was a very interesting post @Julie_Martin...
Want to be in a role play I'm working on?

[Julie_Martin]

uh, what. I GTG soon, but I would love too! I was speaking of this post,

I am taking voice lessons, any suggestions to improve? And are there any good songs you guys would suggest to learn/listen too?

I was thinking on asking my teacher if I could learn a song in her lesson book from the musical of Jekyll & Hyde, but through research, I have learned the musical is really bad... In case anyone asks, I do not know which song it was from the musical...

This one.

[James_Maxfeather]

uh, what. I GTG soon, but I would love too! I was speaking of this post,

ok! great!

I am taking voice lessons, any suggestions to improve? And are there any good songs you guys would suggest to learn/listen too?

I actually want to take voice lessons. What I remember from my crude research on the subject is to view your body like an instrument - like a cross between a flute and a violin, sort of like a pipe organ. Your lungs and the muscles in your belly control the air going over your vocal cords, which are like strings. To top off the additional weirdness, the cords are muscles like arms or legs.

So the tip I learned is to imagine the air going to and from your belly and make sure you move your diaphragm (your belly muscles) when speaking. This will make it so that your lungs control the air movement and not the vocal cord muscles. This will allow you to sing or speak for longer because you are using the big muscles in your belly to control airflow instead of talking solely from your vocal cords (which can hurt after awhile).

As for songs to warm up to, my personal favorite is "I have decided to follow Jesus" simply because the verses move your voice through a range of tones, similar to the "Doh-Ray-Me-Fa-So-La-Ti-Doh" that most public school kids learn in music class. It also gets you to know your voice based on which verse is easiest to sing.

Though none go with me,
Still I will follow
Though none go with me
Still I will follow
Though none go with me
Still I will follow
No turning back
No turning back

---

Though high and creaky
My voice is real low
Different when speaking
But I'm an alto
Though somewhat untested
I still think so
It's obvious
It's obvious

(Also it's a fun song to make up silly lyrics to, which will probably make your vocal training go a lot easier. )

I have learned the musical is really bad...

Truth be known, the true story isn't much better. However, their creator just plays with the characters. (A nicer version of the characters) Not the originals created by Stevenson.

[Julie_Martin]

The creator? Who? I'm a little confused there, but thanks for the help! Everything I've seen for J & H is always altered depending on who wrote the play/story, but this is getting of topic.

Thanks for the advice @Sierepica_Fuzzywalker! I'll take that silly song to heart.

BTW, if your starting out new with singing like me, breathing from your diaphragm is WEIRD. It feels weird, and its hard to actually start breathing that way, but you'll get used to it. Nothing is wrong with your lungs or something.

[Kimkate_Burnclock]

Everything I've seen for J & H is always altered depending on who wrote the play/story

Yeah, the guy who wrote the story didn't lead the best life. Ahem, back on topic.

breathing from your diaphragm is WEIRD

I have no idea what that means . . .

[Julie_Martin]

You breath while making your stomach go out, and your shoulders don't go up. Its VERY strange.

[Snoelle_Fitzshine]

Yeah, it is weird at first, but it allows you to inhale my re air.

[Julie_Martin]

you to inhale my re air.

wha-HAT?

re air?

[Snoelle_Fitzshine]

Lolirl!
More!

[Julie_Martin]

OHHHH.

MMkay, I got confused.

[Missy_Vonheart]

Took me a whiiiile to learn to do that correctly.

[Julie_Martin]

Hm, I could do it in an hour. Weird.

[Peregrine_Appleclock]

@Levi_Orangeburst I am very amused you attempted a TobyMac fan club topic. Even if it doesn't really fit in this forum, good idea.

[Shasta_Gleamdash]

I am learning to play guitar. it is so much fun!
