Smart Targets Rehearsal Log - Diction - 2/10/23

Week Commencing - 2/10/23  

This week I was unable to film a video due to me losing my voice as a result of falling ill. 

I have chosen multiple exercises in order to further improve my diction. These are a mixture of my own exercises that I have learned and exercises from our music lessons in college. 

The first exercise is "Pa Ta Ka". This involves me repeating the sounds "Pa, Ta and Ka" over and over for a period of time. While doing this, I will be over pronouncing the sounds and increase my volume to warm up my voice and jaw at the same time as my diction. 

Next, the main part of my warm up will consist of performing a number of tongue twisters. These tongue twisters will use a range of different phonetic sounds this will properly get me prepared for singing with much clearer diction and throughout all of my songs in a much quicker time frame. I have six tongue twisters which I plan to use in order to aid me in this exercise.
