Music Says....

There are six primary emotions, no matter what language we speak: fear, anger, joy, sadness, surprise, and disgust.  Specific to a singer, musical performances depend on acoustical cues to convey these emotions.  They include tempo changes, sound levels, timing, intonation, ariticulation, timbre, vibrato, tone attacks, tone decays, and pauses to communicate those songs.  So, the next time you're preparing for a performance, writing a song, getting ready to record, etc, critically think about the song.  What would you like your audience to feel?  How did you feel when you wrote it?  How does the song make you feel?  What kind of story is coming from the song?  Write down the emotions.  Then, study to see what acoustical cues match those emotions.  Put your own touch on it.  You'll end up with the right performance for your listeners.   Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.  Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html
