Dear sweet humans,
I am beyond delighted to share with you that I have a NEW EP out January 1 - 2024.
It's called In We Dive.
As this podcast nears is 100k Streams, I need to sing from the hills to you to please go check out my music.
This is gonna be really weird if you don't like it... But you've come this far with me, SO I can't imagine that you will not. Right?
Ok. Well. My breath is officially held.
To honour the extreme love and work that has gone into this EP from people I respect so very much, I wished to share it here.
In this episode we sing a warm up with the Minor Pentatonic, in a tonal movement downward.
And then head to the Dorian Mode.
The Dorian Mode is
1, 2, flat 3, 4, 5, 6, flat 7, 8
And then we sing a tid bit of In We Dive.
"Hi watchful Eye, over us,
He'll be our statue, till we're home".
I tell the story about it in the pod.

Love to you and your loved ones.
Thanks for listening,
Drive safe, take care. Big love.
Please go listen to my song!

Hi Beautiful People, 
Thanks for Listening and following and supporting and your letters and hello's. 

Today we do a quick warm up for my chickens: Chocolate (Cocklario); Caramel (Cam Cam) and Penelope (PenelopWa). 
Then we head in to do a vocal warm up the way I warm up my choir. 
Jammin, scales, vocal sounds, loosening up. 

The We sing a song for the word Home. 
How good are consonants and vowels? 
They're so good. 

Thanks so much for listening. 
You're a good egg!

Hiya. How's it going?
I think I'm a bit scatty in this one. You'll forgive me. 
It's all good. 
Two warm ups, one to calm you down and one to wake you up. 
Then off we go singing "Hold Me" By The Teskey Brothers. 

The Chords for this are C Major to Dminor, Then Dminor back to C!
Easy! Go play it on something if you wanna! 

Thanks so much for listening

In this Episode we're looking at relaxing your voice on ascending vocal melody. 
We're in E Major, it's got a very Major Pentatonic Vibe.

When I first made this Podcast it was my original idea to also release the episodes without my ranting in it. So you could use just the vocal exercises to recap, or drive to your gig warming up, or, whatever they might be useful for to you.
 
Turns out, I didn't follow through with that idea...
So, This is me,
following through with that idea... 

I will release this first one to the public as an example for what I'm trying to create, but these will only be available to patrons via my Patreon page at:  https://www.patreon.com/Shelly_Brown

Sorry this is such a tease episode! You'll be sitting there all hungry for some fresh goodies and it's right back to number one! awwwww. It's ok, new one is coming through the pipes. Sit tight!

Thanks so much for listening! 
Lotsa love,

I just baked Banana Bread. Our freezer was full of banana's. It was getting weird.
So here's a warm up exercise using a Major Chord and a Minor Chord
1 2 3 5 3 2 1 in Gb Major,
over to
1 2 b3 5 b3 2 1 in Ab minor.
In a 3/4 time,

"What is that thing I can smell
Is it some thing I don’t like?
What is that Banana smell?
Is it banana bread?"

It'll make sense. Good Good.

Then, there's a blank song for you to write a song to.
A writing exercise!! Whaaat?! Yes!!

Awesome!

Hey! How are you?!

**Cheeky Advertisement, - New episode out NOW for Patrons and coming to your ears soon. Thanks for listening!!!***

I just wanted to let you know in case you or someone you know may be local to this area that I will be running a series of workshops on Songwriting and Vocal Joy.
It's like the podcast, but with a group, in a studio, so its not really like the podcast at all is it... hmmm...

It’ll be songwriting exercises into your heart and vocal exploration and community and all the good things.
Please check it out!

If you're local to the area, or you're about, these will run next year as well, book in a holiday! Ha! Good times!

Shelly
