Can I Buy a Vowel please?


So I was thinking and talking to my girlfriend about one of my recent lessons, where I was told to sing a warm-up on my favorite vowel. Hmm I thought to myself and started to sing E. After I reached lets say the third scale degree my teacher stops me and says, "Your favorite vowel is E?". Now I was so confused. I mean is it really that uncommon for a singer to sing on an E vowel? Personally, I like it. It feels nice on my voice. Others I know love Ah or A which is nice I guess. Well this post is really to find out others opinions. Whats your favorite vowel to sing on?n A, EE, I, O, OO, and yes we can count AH ha

What a Wonderful World!

Wow, Time just goes doesn't ? Hm In real life I haven't done anything at all since my last blog. Which is majorly sad. I know. But hey what can ya do? Well anyway, I have decided that I MIGHT move in to the dorm of my beloved school. But I am not 100% sure yet. I mean I have lived with my father this past year which is convenient, and very very cheap. I didn't have to pay for anything! But, I would love the independence of living in a dorm. Though I do hate noisy people in my business. Urgh this will take for ever to actually figure out. But I must say What a wonderful World! =)

Wait, Where do you Go to school again?


WOW! Where did summer go! I can't believe that I have done so much (and still haven't posted pics urg!) But one day I will! I promise! Though it's not my fault I took them on my phone and I'm lazy. Well since my last blog I was in two Productions, Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro. I had a blast preforming these roles for the first time. It was amazing and I shall always remember the experience. Now while doing this people seem to always ask what school I go to and who is my teacher, and of course I give them my answer of going to Juilliard and what no. But they always seem to either forget or for some reason they don't see me going there and I would love to know why! ha Some say it's because I am an African-American. Though I don't think this is the case. Others say it's because they think I belong somewhere else like Curtis or Oberlin. What do I say you ask? I DON'T CARE! As long as they like the show! haha I mean why I would like to be associated with my school. I don't want to be defined by it. I mean really. What good would that do me. The "black boy from Juilliard" hmph I don't know but it's a bad rep. sorta. ha well enough of me ranting. I need to sleep. It's 1:02 a.m. for christ sakes! ha
