My son is what you could call an expert when it comes to the Internet stuff and he often finds the funniest things online, like utube, which he recently discovered. He found it by accident one evening and called me immediately. When I entered his room, he was laughing so much he could not talk to me. All he did was point at his computer screen and laugh uncontrollably. When I saw what he found so funny, I could see why. The utube site he discovered is a riot and we both enjoyed it so much, it took us hours before we eventually realized the time of night it was. After that night, it became a daily ritual for us to log into the site and check out the new funny videos that were posted online. We often watch our favorites repeatedly as well, as we keep on laughing at them, no matter how many times we watch them.

Why I Like Dubturbo: Listen Up! Bet You Don’t Know What I’m About to Tell You
Thursday, November 3rd, 2011
Heard of Dubturbo? Maybe, maybe not. But, if you haven’t, let me give you a quick description. It’s a beat-making program for those who are looking to get started with beat making. It’s not for professionals, they probably want something more complex and expensive. But, if you would like an intuitive, easy-to-use beat-making application that can handle anything you throw at it, then you should give Dubturbo a try. It has a 16-track sequencer, which gives you lots of options in regards to complexity and layers of your songs. It also gives you the abitliy to make and produce songs not only in .mp3 format, but .wav format, which is higher quality. That way, your sound hit the human ear just like any other professionally made song that you hear on tv or radio. That’s one of the best features about it in my opinion. Give it a try and you’ll love it.
I Love the Yamaha Tyros 4
Monday, October 31st, 2011I absolutely love the Yamaha Tyros 4. I can’t believe what a spectacular piece of equipment this is for a keyboard player, and not just any keyboard player, but novice keyboard players! It is absolutely spectacular that there is finally a perfect solution for those people who really struggle to know which type of keyboard to take on. I know so many people who have absolutely no idea what type of keyboard they should be buying when they first decide to buy a keyboard. But now there is just one option that I would suggest. Before I would have said it might be wise to invest in very basic keyboards, but now there is finally a keyboard that can actually aid learning and can still be used even after you have passed the beginner’s stage and that keyboard is the Yamaha Tyros 4. So many people have now thanked me for suggesting this great keyboard to them!
The Science Jokes on the Go
Sunday, October 30th, 2011I am so excited about the upcoming event at school. The event is all about science jokes. There are so many guests speakers from different schools who will be attending. They are the one who will be giving discussions and at the same time give out the jokes. I love science so much. I find this as my favorite subject. Even if when I am still at a young age I always show my interest in science. I am excited about experiments and always looking forward for the result of such. I am always thinking of the world without science. I find science as a way for innovation and making imperfect as perfect. This is so great to me. The subject matter for this can be hard core but still professors and intellectuals can take it lightly through jokes. I am so happy to know that there are instructors that are good in joking.
Working Nonunion to Build Your Voiceover Career
Sunday, October 30th, 2011Even though most of the major voiceover work is unionized, there is a still a great deal of nonunion voiceover work being produced. So if you’re beginning a voiceover career, it’s a good idea to get some basic facts about nonunion work since you’ll likely be doing some of it.
First of all, if you are a member of a voiceover union, nonunion work is strictly forbidden in the areas covered by the unions, such as commercials and promos. That being said, some union voiceover artists do work nonunion, either by declaring financial core or simply violating union rules. The latter comes with certain risks, such as getting expelled by the union or, more likely, alienating his or her agent. For voiceover artists who are not a member of the union, you are free to work nonunion projects. In fact, working nonunion can be a good way to get your foot in the door and get your voiceover career off the ground. But keep in mind, voiceover unions are there for a reason. They ensure fair wages for voiceover artists, while nonunion producers are continually driving down wages through crowdsourcing and open bidding for projects. So if you’re going to work nonunion, be prepared to sacrifice a great deal of the compensation you would be getting by working union.
The Eastern Hurricane
Wednesday, October 26th, 2011Not too long ago, the East Coast was hit by a huge hurricane. A lot places were flooded. Much of the city was damaged. As for me, I didn’t face much damages, but my favorite digital piano was broken. The Yamaha P155 was no longer working. For more information on the Yamaha P155, click here.
Now, I know a lot of you are probably thinking that this is a minor problem. That is true. However, since I haven’t personally faced any damages aside from the broken Yamaha P155, I feel that this is just a huge letdown. I really loved that digital piano. It was something I am extremely emotionally attached to, especially because I played it everyday.
Although many people lost much more because of the hurricane, I didn’t go unscathed. I lost my Yamaha P155, which was my most precious digital piano. I hope to replace it one day, but it won’t have that same emotional value.
Theatre Royal Haymarket
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011Theatre Royal Haymarket came into being on December 29, 1720. John Potter was its creator, who was a carpenter. It was situated on the location of The King’s head Inn in the Haymarket near the Suffolk Street shop which was owned by Isaac Bliburgh who was gunsmith. Theatre Royal Haymarket is in use from the last three centuries. It located at a very good place that is considered as an ideal place. It took almost £ 1500 to start this theatre. There were spent lots of money for the decoration, costumes for different characters and scenery as well. Theatre Royal Haymarket is being working from the last three centuries and has also been the host of the most famous actors of the history, directors and writers as well. Theatre Royal Haymarket was planned in a way that it added more comfort and easement and people who visited it could enjoy the play completely.
Getting the Perfect Wedding Pictures
Friday, October 21st, 2011When my daughter decided to get married, she new the first major thing that they should look for was a great photographer, because good photographers are hard to find and they book up quickly. So I told her if she wanted I would help her and I went to the internet and did an internet search for Port Macquarie Wedding Photographers. This was going to be a big wedding for us. We have three children but she was our only daughter. My daughter and I have talked about what her dream wedding would be since she was a little girl and would pretend to be a bride and walk down the hallway holding a fake bouquet of flowers. I am sure she is not the only little girl that grows into a young woman who wants her wedding to be everything she dreamed about. So the first step is getting the best person to take the pictures.
I Found a Movie to Watch
Thursday, October 13th, 2011While I was on a business trip recently I got really bored while sitting in my hotel room. That was when I decided that I would open up my laptop and try to find something a little more entertaining to do then just sit there for the rest of the evening. It is a good thing that I know of a web site where I can go download movies because otherwise I would be stuck watching the same movie on cable that I had seen several times before. Sure, there are other web sites out there that will let you download a movie to watch but I needed to use one that would not infect my computer with any type of virus or require me to pay with a credit card. This web site that I found helped me to enjoy my evening and the movie that I downloaded was really entertaining.
Vocal Exercises Can Help You Sing Higher Notes
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011Being able to sing higher notes is largely dependent on whether or not you are doing your vocal warm up exercises daily.
So if you want to learn how to sing high notes I have just given you one of the secrets in the first sentence. Singing high notes is based on several factors but none are quite as important as doing the hard work of daily vocal exercises. I am going to give you a couple of quicker ways to get there, but nothing will ever replace the need to continue doing your vocal exercises.
The best way I know to sing higher notes has to do with the combination of voice exercises and lip trills. If you do not know what lips trills are let me give you a run down of how to do them. If you take two finger and place them on either side of your cheeks about one half an inch from your mouth where you can feel your teeth through your cheeks then blow, that is how you do lip trills. Make sure that your lips are not tight but nice and supple and relaxed so that they flap easily.
Okay so now that you know how to do lip trills you need to start doing vocal exercises on any scale and start working higher up into your range. Once you get to the place where you are having a hard time hitting the note without strain, bend at the waist and watch how you can hit higher notes more easily and without strain.
This is a trick that the pros use to sing higher notes because once you are able to hit these notes when bending at the waist they become easier to hit when you are not bending at the waist due to muscles memory.
Another way to hit higher notes with less strain is to sing your vocal exercise scale with staccato notes instead of legato notes at first. This just means that you use short and disconnected bursts of air rather than notes that are melodic and strung together.
Doing these notes first in staccato allows you to hit higher notes more quickly and like the bending at the waist trick you will build muscle memory that will allow you to sing these higher notes within a short period of time without the crutch of bending at the waist or singing staccato notes.
With preparation of you songs and with this new way of singing higher notes, you will have the confidence to step foot onto stage with less anxiety and far less stage fright. Don’t let stage fright affect your singing because you just need to use that energy to have the best performance you can.
Incomparable Performance from Janet Jackson
Monday, September 26th, 2011Like many other pop artists, Janet Jackson started her singing career at an early age. She started in 1993 and by the end of 1990s, she was named as the second most successful recording artist of the decade. Taking note of this accomplishment, everybody can say that she made it to the top without too much trouble. This is because of her incomparable performances everytime she went out on stage for a live performance. Althroughout her career, Janet Jackson has amassed an extensive catalog of hits with singles such as ‘Nasty’, ‘All For You’, and ‘That’s The Way Love Goes’, among many others. Fans and alike never get tired of listening to her songs and imitating her dance moves or choregraphy can be seen even on streets and schools. These are just some of the reasons why the Janet Jackson tickets are gone in seconds everytime they announce a Janet Jackson live show. Everyone wants to watch her perform and listen to her music as she sings her heart out loud.
Men Looking out for Men
Sunday, September 25th, 2011There are plenty of songs about guys that get around and are players, but it is harder to find ones about women players. However one of the most well known 80s songs made this the theme of their song.
Phill Collins was a popular 80s artist and he collaborated with Phillip Bailey the falsetto voiced lead singer of Earth, Wind & Fire for the hit song “Easy Lover”.
The song is about a woman who is easy to get because she gets with lots of men. She is painted to be very attractive and persuasive as they warn “she’ll get a hold on you – believe it”. They even go as far as saying that not only will she get a hold on you, but you will probably fall for her because “she’s the kind of girl you dream of”.
However they are quick to dismiss the possibility of any lasting love as they say “you better forget it you’ll never get it”. Even though you may want to change her, it is futile because she never changes and “you’re not the only one” who would have tried.
