First 2 Vocal Recordings

I finally got down to recording my singing.

I Will Sing of Thy Great Mercies (St Paul) - Felix Mendelssohn



This is the very first Classical piece my teacher gave me about 2 months ago.
I was rather excited when I first tried it as the introductory recitative part reminds me of that in an opera where singers use the technique of Sprechstimme.

Still a few throaty lapses here n there in this piece :/



This is my favouritest hymn, Be Thou My Vision, sung in Mandarin then English.


I sung it to my teacher just yesterday. She was mightily pleased with it :)


Still have alot to work on to achieve purrfection. I wanna sing more pieces!
I already have a list of songs (mostly Broadway) that I want to sing... hope to be able to sing them well one day and do a recording with an accompanist playing LIVE.

Wow, your singing voice sounds quite different from your normal voice. Almost couldn't recognise the voice I was hearing.

Did you reach a high F in the first piece?!? That's really high! I'm impressed. Didn't know you could reach so high.

Anyway, good effort. I think your singing voice is improving tremendously. I'm really looking forward to hearing you sing some Broadway pieces...like Rodgers & Hammerstein (hint hint!).
