Improving I Guess...

Hello everyone...

Our new singer, Cuckooh has already 2 gigs under her belt and i can say that she has already improved a lot... i guess her progress has sped up a bit... thanks to the practice sessions and her interest to sing for Candyaudioline...

At Buzz Night last May 5, she had a difficult time singing songs that were sung in a low voice... according to a bandmate from Soft Pillow Kisses, she was at a lost during songs like "An Empty You" and "Flaming Walls"... quite understandable because i did see that it wasn't really her range but i believe that it can be fixed thru practice... Yesterday, we played a gig somewhere in Cubao... a very awkward gig for us because of the sound system... infact, i was really thinking of not pushing thru with it because it would really do us harm if Cuckooh did not deliver the right notes... the set-up was more of a PA system than a gig set-up... the vocals would really be way up... but i decided to get on with it... before our slot, i got Cuckooh to practice with me in some quiet area within the venue. during that short impromptu session, i had a chance to observe the real quality of her voice... it was a bit surprised at how smooth it was... no more trembling-out-of-pitch tones. her pronounciations as well were almost what i had wanted and what i had taught her... this got me excited and i was so eager to test it at once. it was also a chance for me to prove to some bandmates that she was a good choice for a Candyaudioline vocalist... but still, i had some doubts...

before going up stage, she was begging me to back-out because she knew so many people from the crowd. i told her that i think it was the proper gig to test her improvement. she half-heartedly agreed to sing... so there we were doing our first song "Flaming Walls" - one song which she was always having trouble with... i let her be the louder voice at first but 3 words into the song, i heard ver voice cracking and going out of key so i instantly sang louder then her and hoped that she would become relaxed and in the process, be able to execute the songs the way she did during the impromtu rehearsal we did... i was not let down... from that time on did sing moderately well... that was enough for me for the meantime...

all i have to do now is help her improve more and hopefully become a better vocalist that the last one we had...
