I did a couple takes and my voice got husky at the end, I think I had the keyboard too loud! Oops. Oh well I'll remember for the next one. Got another song coming soon before next week too so keep an eye out.
So as promised I have been working hard creating new stuff for you. I did a new song today, uploading as we speak and here is the outfit I chose for the song and I did a mini shoot to show you, there is also more pics on my tumblr. http://katherineannmarie.tumblr.com/
I practiced this song a few times today before I got a take I liked, and I am not sure how it turned out but let me know what you think, I like the outfit I chose ^_^
I am thinking of doing more outfit posts for the covers of songs I do. I love fashion and it's a huge part of the music industry and my own works. Let me know what you think!
So just to give you an idea of upcoming songs for ya, I am creating arrangements of the following songs over the next week:
1. John Mayer - Born and Raised. To keep the original key this song will be quite high, but nonetheless it preserves the original key so you guys can play along with the album when you learn it!
2. Regina Spektor - All the Rowboats. LOVE this song, especially the acoustic version.
3. Vanessa Carlton - London. This song is very dear to me and to a lot of you Nessa fans. Coming soon.
4. Marina and the Diamonds - Starring Role. I promised you this a while back! Getting on it this week.
5. Ruby Frost! - Young. I LOVE this song too, and you guys will love her as well.
6. Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness. This song is just beautiful. Have posted the clip a while back.
Alright better get practicing! And recording! New songs whoop whoop ^_^
I'm baaaaaack! So exams are over and it'll be just you and me over the summer holidays lovelies!
I have so much planned I'm way too excited. Okay so first off, I am doing some recording today so I got a couple songs for ya. Let me know what you think :)
Tip of the Week! Now this one is for singing, it's a little tip I was given by my singing teacher a long time ago and it's really useful. When singing 'high notes' come 'down' on them and pretend you are singing low notes, it will help the note to be clear and not pitchy. The opposite applies for low notes - pretend they are high and VOILA you can extend your range.
So in the time I've been gone loads of artists have posted some sweet new vids.
Has everyone checked out Marina and the Diamonds new single? "How to be a heartbreaker"
'How to be a Heartbreaker' by Marina and the Diamonds
This is a pretty sweet song. In NZ atm it is coming into spring, and soon summer. We have summer over Christmas which is pretty sweet. So most people often have BBQs and trips to the beach!
Here is a little preview of what I have been doing while I haven't been making videos. I love fashion as most of you know and I have a little fashion blog. You can check out the facebook page and give it a 'Like' here: www.facebook.com/thewardrobenewzealand
Blog post - Outfit of the Week October 2012
Otherwise, you can keep up to date and see a bunch of musical creative ramblings from me on my TUMBLR:
I haven't gone anywhere, I am still around. Just practicing new stuff and studying at the moment as I have a huge number of assignments due, and they are all third year papers so unfortunately the time comes out of my otherwise music practicing time. In one week's time I will have new stuff up for you including Maroon 5, Christina Perri, and (maybe) Lana Del Ray.
In the mean time here is this song, I am absolutely in love with...
'Lana Del Ray- Summertime Sadness'
I have to do a cover of this. It's beautiful. She does sing really low though... so I might have to put it up a key. I'll let ya know ^_^
It's coming into spring atm here in New Zealand, and the weather is getting really beautiful. Blue skies and lots of sun. Guessing that over in the U.S it's getting colder?
So I have finally finished the tutorials for 'Buy the Stars' and 'Zero Gravity'
Check out my playlist 'Song Tutorials' to see them. 'Buy the Stars' is in two parts because it's such a long and complicated song and I wanted to make sure I explained it simply enough.
Now I am behind two weeks on our 'Acoustic' genre, namely John Mayer & a surprise artist. I was very sick! But more on that soon, I intend to do a few songs and a few tutorials this week, hopefully! On Thursday which is the usual day I record. Anyway got an awesome song for you that I'm into at the moment, and of which I have an AWESOME arrangement and tutorial coming very soon....
'Maroon 5 - One More Night'
I love this song! Damn it's so catchy. Anyway talk soon and hopefully I'll be up to date by the end of this week. More details coming soon.
