Humorous Wedding Speech by the Father of the Groom Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen - I am the groom's father, Ken, and I have the great privilege of being best man. I have recently found out there are two reasons why J W asked me to do this job. 1) To make him look younger and slimmer in the photos. 2) Because he didn't want to burden any of his friends with the terrible prospect of having to give this speech. It's the speech that no one wants to do. The best man doesn't really know what
As I come to this place in my life I cannot help but think about Lincoln's Farewell Address at Springfield. In many ways it parallels my feelings in graduating from Gilmore Christian School. This is from President Lincoln's address written Feb. 11, 1861: "No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feelings of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from young to an old man. Here my
My Essay is about Ralph and and his Motivation’s and did he contribute to the tragedy in any way. Also about if he prevented any of the deaths and what would I have done differently in his situation. I defend Ralph’s actions as leader, He had tried his best but everyone fell apart. Did Ralph contribute to the tragedies? Ralph had tried his best but he was struggling at handling the problems on the island, He was unaware of the boy’s and what was going on. He had tried to contribute to all of the
“Unforgettable” as a duet with her deceased father. Cole uses her father’s original recording and she adds her vocals; the music is the unchanged, the words are identical, the lyrics are sung the same way. On the surface, everything about the cover is the same as the original. The cover still has the velvet voice of Nat King Cole, the soft piano playing in the background, and unchanged tempo. Ultimately, the only thing that sounds different between the two songs is the female vocals incorporated in
to music history, the Castrati are one of the most important and debated topics. The Castrati were men (in Italian opera) that had been castrated during puberty to stop a flow of hormones, causing them to have the voice of a soprano woman, but the vocal power of an older, full-grown man. A general estimate said that four thousand boys a year were castrated in Italy. Some Castrati tried to make it in church choirs (which often gave them almost nothing of monetary value), most chose the opera route
naturally like this (with your stomach). This is what my conductors call “tummy power”. One of the warm ups the choir conductors make us do are these huge sighs that start from the top of your voice and go down to the bottom of your voice to warm up our vocal chords and get us to breath properly. Another technique we have to learn in choir practice is we learn now to pronounce vowels and consonants correctly. An example of that would be pronouncing out “D”s as light “T”s. We also have to keep our mouth
the audience witnesses a variety of vocal ranges. Candide is a tenor; his voice is in the middle of the vocal scale it is not extremely high and not extremely low. Cunegonde is a soprano; her voice is definitely at the beginning of the vocal scale, she hit extremely high notes and held them very well. Maximilian is a baritone; his vocal range is a little lower than Candide’s. The tutor Pangloss is also a tenor, like Candide his voice is in the middle of the vocal scale as well. During “The Best of
Appraisal The three pieces I studied were all performed by female 'rhythm and blues' artists. The pieces were: Pink - Like A Pill, Brandy - What About Us, and Janet Jackson - All For You. They all had various kinds of backing tracks with their vocals recorded on top. I wanted to achieve roughly the same kind of thing, so I used a backing track and sung on top. Most backing tracks that I use are either from a CD, downloaded off the internet or I create them myself. However, this time I could
paper ... ... and sight-singing. The way I look at the rating scale is 1 needs major improvement and 5 has been singing all their life. 19. What criteria can be used to classify voices? In classifying voices you should consider range, tessitura, vocal quality, voice lifts and speaking pitch. The tessitura is the comfort zone for singing within the outer limits of their range. Students that have heavier, darker voices tend to be more basses, altos and mezzo sopranos. Students that have lighter
These tools are passed through to the vocal cord region of the larynx, where a laryngoscope exposes the vocal cords. A surgical tool, such as a tonsil punch, is used to remove a portion of the vocal cords. The laryngotomy approach involves an incision through the skin, subcutaneous tissue and directly into the larynx, thus bypassing the oral cavity. A laryngoscope exposes the vocal cords, and a second incision is then performed to remove the portion of the vocal cords from the larynx. The cut-edge
