'Birdy'

Okay so where I work in retail, they play all the new music and I recently heard Birdy's cover of "People help the people" and thought it was pretty awesome. I think I might have a play and possibly cover it. More details soon. I was looking over my vids today and the video quality is indeed somewhat lacking...

The problem is my internet is slower bring in New Zealand and OMG it would take like 3 hours to upload an HD video in proper high definition. So I cheat and upload smaller files. Sorry about that!

Anyway here is Birdy's song which is actually a cover itself! Look up the original too. I prefer the melancholic vibe of Birdy's version.

New Song! 'One More Night' by Maroon 5

Yay! So it's finally done. Here is the cover for 'One More Night' by Maroon 5. I freaking love this song! but OMG the practice for this song totally made me sick of it by the end. I still like listening to it though. Just not playing it. It's intense!

Anyway here it is, and the tutorial is linked within the description of the video clip, and just in case you were feeling lazy I have added it here too. Hope you like it, a lot of love went into this arrangement. Although it may be played a tad fast. Sorry about that, was rushing to get to work on time!

New Video!

Hey everyone!

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!

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.

Tip of the Week #5

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. 

Have fun practicing!

Hope everyone's holidays are off to a good start
