The singing voice

I just wanted to pop in and say "thank you" to those folks who contact me at the Singing Voice. Over the years, I have had a number of emails aksing questions about stuff as well as discussing links and offering suggestions for inclusion in the Links page of the site.

I really value all the communication that you guys send my way. Please keep it coming! I have already made several alterations to the site based around reader suggestions and am certainly willing to consider further thought.

Last weekend myself and the boys from Men Wot Sing - my totally awesome blokey entertainment group - made our way via plane, train and automobile to the beautiful town of Blackheath, two hours west of Sydney, in NSW. The occasion was the annual Blackheath Choir Festival - a wonderful event, held over a full weekend, showcasing a collection of some of the best choirs around. It was our third appearance in this festival - although Men Wot Sing has not sung there for about three years!

Since my last blog entry, I've been using a headset microphone for all my lessons and it's gong so well! My voice is LOVING it! The vocal fatigue is disappearing and I am able to sing those tricky higher notes that eluded me for so long when my voice was tired. I'm enjoying the newfound strength in my voice so much that I'm even writing and performing again! I've also decided to start up a new choir in my home town of Alstonville, and so Awesome Voices has recently been born!

My website has been up and running now for a number of months, but I've not had a lot of time to focus on the site. It is my objective now to give it a bit more attention, and I'm starting with keeping my blogs updated a bit more freely.
