i wanna sing song.

i have this habit when it comes to music. songs, in particular.

recently heard these 2 songs: 掉了 and 我不是你想象那么勇敢. and i just felt in my heart that i need to learn how to sing these 2 songs. they sound like something fun to do.

in case you haven't noticed, i have a bit of a sadistic nature.

anyway, so i've been looping these 2 songs on my comp at work today. over and over and over again.

now THIS is my habit. i tend to listen to songs over, and over, and over again if i decide a song is nice enough, difficult enough and challenging enough, and i wanna master it. not learn. MASTER.

this is the process:

the first few times, listen, mostly just the melody.

next few times, start humming to the melody, pick up a few words.

then, think: why don't i just find the lyrics and learn the song properly? so, find lyrics, and for the next few times, sing along.

then, just loop the song a few more time (more like the next few hours) and try to get the melody, phrasing, ad libs, turns, techniques right.

and almost the last few times, but not least, listen to the song carefully. no need to sing it. just listen very carefully. listen for the breathing, the intonations, feel, movement.

i don't think there is a right or wrong way to learn to sing a song properly, but my way oughta come pretty close. i mean, by the time you start to take up the mic and sing the song, u would have at least heard the song 100 times!

i wanna go karaoke so i can practice the 2 songs!!!
