A professional singer means to be independent,
to be a good leader, and to always know what's
happening.
Do we know our keys?
Are we good at giving a tempo?
Are we always well prepared, and are we able
to really focus.
When I go for an early session, or if I have
an amazing opportunity to go up on stage,
but I'm sick.
I will sing my song in C, while I usually
sing in Eb, when my voice is warm.
You got C, F, Bb, or A minor, D minor, and
G minor.
When you're a professional singer, you often
have to identify, right away, the key of a
score.
How do we know which key it is?
The last chord of the story, is not always
the last one written on the chart.
If you look at this chart, for example, the
melody ends here, and not here.
These are some extra chords to use to take
you back to the top.
When you give a tempo, you also give other
information at the same time.
You show the mood you want.
You show your level of confidence, and you
give the style of music that you want.
The tempo you give has to be clear, and precise,
so then everyone starts together, right away,
from the first note.
One, snap.
Three, snap.
One, snap.
Three, snap.
You will get different ideas of interpretation,
or improvisation, it will come naturally.
You cannot learn experience without living
it, however, I'd like to give you a good headstart.
