how to write a love song? please help(:?

3

okay well i love to write, sing, and play music. so i want to write a song. but i need some help getting started, i want to write a song about like a cinderella fairytale, does anyone have any ideas??(: thanks

Here are some tips-

-http://www.rhymezone.com/ is a website to help you find rhymes (if you want them) and think about rhyming patterns

- Think about syllables in your song instead of amount of words because it will flow more

- Use alliteration, repetition, similes etc

- Think about the shape of it all. Do you want the lines all the same length? Do you want a pattern?

- Remind yourself it’s all about love

-Think of what genre (Pop, Rock, Metal etc)

- Get inspired, or use something that has happened in your life

- Symbolism

- It is all about emotions, so express the emotion in the song, so in your case, it would be love

- Since you’re doing fairytale, think of the storyline in it

How much experience is needed for the agency " William Morris Talent and Literary Agency"?

2

Is being in a couple plays and a couple acting classes enough? and being able to sing, dance, and play the guitar, if that even matters?? please help!!

First things first. William Morris is gone. It has been merged with Endeavor. Even had this not happened these two agencies are such powerhouses, and now one big powerhouse that being in a few acting classes is not nearly enough. Not even remotely close.

At this level agents merely poach up and coming talent from smaller agencies and other large agencies. That means actors who’ve already done a few films, a few tv shows etc. It takes years, not a few classes.

how can i sing from my stomach and not my throat?

6

im good at singing but my throat really hurts because i think i sing from my throat and not my stomach, i think if i sang from my stomach i would be able to sing even better and reach higher notes without hurting my voice, any ideas?

Singing "from" your stomach is all about breath control, and how you breath in and out.

The best way to learn is to place your hand on the centre of your chest just below your rib cage. When you breath in, make sure your hand is lifted up away from your body as your lungs fill with air. Then as you breath out your hand should go back down again.

Do this a few times, making sure each time that your stomach expands as you breath in, and contracts as you breath out.

Now choose a note that’s in the middle of your range. Breath in using the technique above then sing that note for as long as you can until it feels like there’s no more breath in your stomach. Repeat this a few times. Then see if you can sing a scale upwards using one breath to the top, then another to sing down again.

You will be exhausted after this and you should feel your stomach muscles having had a work out.

Hope that helps. If you want to hear me singing, have a listen to http://www.myspace.com/howardalansinclair.

How can I sing higher notes?

5

I’m a pretty good singer, but I’ve been trying to sing "100 Years" by five for fighting, but I just can’t get that high, my voice keeps cracking (I’m a guy). But I’m really determined to get it, is there anything I can practice? Thanks in advance!

First of all, I would suggest looking into taking voice lessons from a qualified, experienced voice teacher. Extending range is tricky, and if not done correctly, will permanently damage your voice. If you notice, Five for Fighting sings most of that song with falsetto. So if you need help with that, take a hint from High School Musical. Sharpay’s little exercise when she vocalizes really, really high and moves her fingers down her face (that last part is optional) really helps develop falsetto. Try these things, and good luck!

How can you tell if your bipolar or need to see a doctor?

7

I have really bad anger and its getting worse. My boyfriend is convinced that i have an anger problem and am bipolar. im kinda worried myself and i would like to know what to do or any sings of bipolar or if i need to see a doctor.

Anger does NOT equal Bipolar. See a doctor. Let them know your concerns and let them do their job and make a diagnosis….. don’t try to get some idiot here to give you an answer….. Most people here are full of sh!t and have no idea what they are talking about…… go see a professional.

What, Exactly, is Music ? by Ocean

What, Exactly, Is Music ?     by Ocean  

Music does not need to have been produced by organized sequences, whether planned or not. It need not have been channeled through an instrument made for melodic or rhythmic purpose.

Music is as simple as a random breeze through a pine tree, making a sweepingly beuautiful sound, or the resonating echo of a mockingbird’s song, or the might rush of a wave crawling up the beach.

Nature is filled with effortless music. Even the crack of a dried branch in the woods is music. Everything in nature is music. 

Music abounded in pre-human history. 

When we were still creatures of the sea, musical sounds under the water must have inspired our souls to stretch, and our wills to push, until we developed ever more sensory skills in order to soak in the lovely tones of our surroundings. Next time you’re at the ocean, stay underwater for a moment and make some squeals, some laughs, some sounds, or just speak, or sing. Witness the feeling of the watery vibrations you’ve caused, and hear the difference between air sounds and sea sounds. It’s fun !

And did you know that fish talk? Yes, and perhaps they also sing ! People often do not give our fellow beings much credit for the similar ways they enjoy their lives and use their senses so like our own. Sea horses couples arise when the dawn light filters into their sea green world, and they both sing and dance their love for each other, and for our Creator, I’m sure, as we all do, if we’re in joy and alignment with the universe.

All other animals take joy in sound, in making their own music. Our cats clearly take pleasure in purring, as they surround themselves in the warm vibes of throaty expressions of happiness.

Dogs bark in ecstasy when we play with them, and whimper in sympathy when we’re blue, and of course they sing along with us, whether they’re in tune or not!

Horses, guinea pigs, elephants, et al, and every being in between, whether we can hear them or not, make sounds that are pleasing, like music. Some breeds, like the Humpback Whale, use organized tunes – songs – and they develop new ones as they go along  – usually one for each mating season, which individuals remember and perhaps add to.

Birds, the virtuosos of the world, putting us primates to vocal shame, create their own songs, compose, recall songs from their childhood, and obviously sing their hearts out when their moods prevail.

Whether, as we do, other beings have the vocal chords and the tongue formation, the palate, and the teeth in the right places in order to utter words or not, we know that all other animals communicate however they can, and it’s obvious that they also create sounds that convey their emotions.

Hippos sing the blues? Of course they do.

Alligators chrip with glee? Yes.

Just imagine what life sounded like, once upon a time, when we were still tree-dwellers, when the forests and jungles were filled with voices of all types, with sounds made from countless individuals of many, many diverse species, and we were blessed with the fulness of nature that we will never know again.

Not only primates are blessed with vocal self-expression. 

We all make music – all living beings, all places, all of the elements on our planet, and it does soothe our souls.

Im confused

I need to learn to sing a "Soprano C". Any suggestions on how to widen my range enough to comfortably sing it?

2

Just in case you don’t know (or im calling it by the wrong name =] )…..a soprano c is the c 2 octaves above middle c. I need to learn it for a solo in my choir class. My teacher gave me the solo, but if i cant sing it, were just going to drop it. I can sing it but it doesnt sound very pretty and it sounds very strained. Anyone have any suggestions or vocal exercises i can do to improve it? It’d be greatly appreciated =)

Ever heard of Roger Burnley? You should check his site out:) You will greatly improve!!
