OK GUYS!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Vocal Hangout will be.........
15th March, Saturday
East Coast Park Island Resort
4pm - 10pm
(Come earlier, anytime after 3, if you wanna help out or just loiter around and talk to us *grin*)
How to get there:
Island Resort Singapore
Do note that the blk and unit number is not given yet
Apparently it's only going to be confirmed on the day of the booking. Sooo... when you get there, gimme or Khai a ring ok? That way we can gauge the number of people also and be prepared with our helmets and stuff.
Last minute confirmations are fine as long as it's within 3 days of the hangout! If we run out of food, can walk to Macdonalds lol.
Contact details, if anything:
Me - 98520982
KhaiHan - 82245824
===========================
Confirmed itinerary of the hangout
===========================
Based on heckler's, KhaiHan's and my suggestions...
- Getting to know each other... *psycho music insert* lol
- Making friends from different music styles / scenes
- Vocal tips and music.
Bring along music that you're trying to sing or wanting to sing or want to share etc, we could discuss how to tackle the song/s together. I think this would be useful in helping apply the vocal tips discussed.
- Talk about experiences, difficulties in singing / singing with bands / competitions, lessons learnt, how you take care of your voice, how you warmup, all that
- Music in general
- Makan!!!!! And I'm bringing my honey lemon thingy for you guys.
- Vocalist Mr Trisno Ishak (ex-member of Urban Exchange) / KhaiHan's uncle, who has kindly offered to join us with the hangout :}}
- Female vocalist from a local metal band (good for girls, so you can see how they fit into scenes like that and the problems they have to face being a girl
)
- Music / jam section
==============
Not yet confirmed:
==============
- I'm trying to pull in more friends of mine who are experienced vocalists or producers from the music scene, but I haven't asked them yet because I forgot... errrr Let's just keep this bit a surprise
- The Esplanade visit idea cannot make it.. bleh!
Maybe Vocal Hangout 2 in the future or something?
- Vocal styles all around the world. I'm thinking of bringing in excerpts and ideas such as throat-singing, the influence of accents on singing, and how to distinguish between voices of different culture. But this one I have to prepare, and that depends on how much crap my workplace is gonna throw at me during the week -_-.
===========================
What to bring
===========================
1) Yourself, in good condition not rotting zombie or anything
2) Your vocal cords
3) Music you want to share, if any
4) Your kapok guitars / semi-acoustics+amp for the music / jam section
5) Your special miracle-working vocal-helping beverages / condiments / sweets / whatever
6) Your own ciggies, if you smoke. HAHA. tsk tsk.. bad example, bad bad!!
7) Music vocal books or notes and stuff you learnt from, for reference.. I'll be bringing mine
8) Your humble self. No name-calling or telling people they suck ok! It's gonna be a crazy good mix of noobs and experienced singers. So be nice. Or I'll pelt you with chicken bones and extra cheese off Khai's lasagna and throw you into the sea.
9) Whoever wants to bring swimming costume and sing in the chalet's swimming pool also can.
==========================
Please try not to bring...
==========================
1) Alcohol binges.. one or two cans per person/yourself is alright, cos I think most of us don't drink
2) Your entire social network; I know there's free food around, but come on let's just keep this a vocal hangout for vocalists and aspiring singers in the music scene k please? :'(
3) A bomb or anything of that nature including that JI bloke
4) A disguise, cos that would just suck considering it's a social gathering
===========================
Fees....
===========================
Either:
>>>> $5 or any contribution you wanna give us that's not spare change
or
>>>> Food / drinks <<<<<
So far we've got Khai's lasagna and I'm ordering some roasted chicken. So food / beverages to share with the rest of us would be an awesome contribution. A six-pack of boxed drinks or a few bottles of soft drinks would do! Not hard right? Can get from 7-11.
There's also a BBQ pit, if you wanna bring some BBQ stuffs please do! FGL!! BAWAK BURGER!
>>> If you're bringing food, please contact me and we'll meet slightly earlier to arrange it out k!
>>> If you wanna do a karaoke thing, tell me how. LOL. We have a tv, but I have no idea how to work a karoke system with the mics and stuff!
>>> A portable radio / CD player... I don't have one bwek. Anyone?
>> for those who never give their email (I'll be emailing this same thing as well to those that are given) and said they wanna come along, I hope you see this post!
>>>> Mr Softie, could you pin this up at the top of the subforum for a while so that everyone can seeee -_0
>> And someone drag Ankh! I don't care how. :}
>> I still don't believe this is happening... ahhh I should shut up more often. LOL yay
