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

Keeping up with the theme this week about doing something different....If you normally write all your material, congratulations.  That’s wonderful.  You’re very creative.  I present a challenge to you.  Try singing something from another writer.  This will give you something different to present.  It’ll come from a different perspective.  Now, of course do your research.  You don’t want anyone just writing for you, but definitely find someone that can write something that will of course showcase you at the best.  Be sure to include your input.  If your songs are normally negative, try something positive.  If you make happy go lucky songs, think about something that makes you angry.  Then, you both can come up with something that shows that emotion.  So, just a quick tip for you to continue to give your fans something different.  Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.  Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html

So, here's an example of giving fans something different.  Here's a song Chrisette Michele did in her lower range on her debut album.  

Try this.  Sing 5 songs back to back in the same key.  Did you like it?  Were you in love with what you heard?  Of course NOT!  That’s why there are so many keys on a piano.  Your fans don’t want to hear you sing in the same key on every song.  So push yourself.  Challenge yourself to go to the extremes of your range.  Try to sing in a key that you haven’t tried before.  Whatever you do, keep your sound fresh and versatile.  Your fans will always have a great reason to come to your shows, buy your next CD, or watch your next Youtube video.  Give them reasons to come back for more.  Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.  Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html
