The Essence Music Festival is just days away.  My itinerary is finalized.  I’m packing bags.  Now, I just wait until the day I leave for the festivities.  Can you tell I’m excited?  I can’t wait to share pictures, stories, and video with you.  This is sure to be a great time for us.  So really quickly....I’m in the South with this brutal, summertime heat.  My tip for you is to drink plenty of water.  Please stay hydrated.  If you don’t, you can risk permanently damaging your vocal chords.  So, when you wake up in the morning, drink you some room temperature water.  Throughout the day, especially if you’re going to be in the sun, drink plenty of water and liquid.  Stay healthy & keep that gift in tact!

The identification of pitch accuracy while singing or playing music is intonation.  Pitch can either be flat, sharp, or both, simultaneously.  If your vowels aren't formed correctly, the result is definitely bad intonation.  So, practicing the vowels, ah eh ee oh oo, will help you to significantly improve your intonation.  Get in front of your mirror, which as a singer, should be a close friend.  Practice.  Your mouth should change a little when singing the various vowels.  Singing in tune and on the right pitch is detrimental to the singer and musician.  If your performance is going well and you've taken your audience to a place, that bad note is equivalent to getting into a  sudden car accident.  That's not to say that bad notes won't happen, but practice can minimize them.  So, that's my quick tip on intonation and how to improve.  Continue to get better daily!  I believe in you!   Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.  Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html
