Yesterday we practiced some music that are technically difficult in 'how to make the best of it'-wise. To get the feel of it, Doc was being so serious (well, we are leaving this Saturday.. it makes sense for him to be a bit more intense in shaping our throats up!). He used some metaphors and I fund that two of them were pretty deep.
"There's a difference between pretty and beautiful- one is surfac(e)y and the other one goes deep inside"
"In projecting the vocal (so the audience can hear and understand the music), just by rising the volume to the maximum won't do it. You need to have good diction and pronunciation! Otherwise, high volume will just make fuzzy sounds."
The first quote wasn't a new quote for me since it's been one of my favorite personal quotes too, though not exactly the same. Yet the second one really inspires me.
Sometimes, or most of the time, we tend to be so 'loud' in expressing our thoughts and feelings without picking the 'appropriate dictions or pronunciation'. That's why others get confused, that's why they cannot understand what one wants to tell them. It's not enough just by being loud! One ought to be bold and clear! Do not let oneself and others get upset by fuzzy words(or/and actions) that will somehow create fuzzy feelings!
