Hello to the person reading this- I hope you had the chance to join TTT at the recent outdoor performance at the West Coast Park. We had a ball (and a hot time, literally!) belting out TTT evergreen favorites as well as a seasonal CNY number (how many acappella groups can boast they've done a CNY song, eh?) Life is getting busier by the day. TTT is getting in gear, finalizing the concert details... more coming up, once the Mystic Writer sniffs out more about it. If you any suggestions of songs you want to hear.. please free and add a comment below this to let TTT know. AND, if you want to make any monetary donations (or physically help out) to further TTT's cause, let them know too!!!! Write Comment (32 Comments) |

Complimenting Sounds
I like how harmonies gel together. If I were to draw sounds as lines, then each sound (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, etc) would be parallel in whichever direction they move and they would always be that same distance apart.
If I were to liken sounds to a shape, then it would be like a pyramid but with a domed top (rather than pointed). With the base at the bottom, the highest voice will simply rest at the top.
The middle harmonies of Baritone, Tenor and Alto would provide the holding quality.
Together, it's pure magic.
With contemporary a cappella, we cannot escape the fundamentals of sound creation and harmonies. If we delve deeper, sound harmonics of individual singers become important. How we each create sounds, from mouth-shapes - open or close, to having more air, less air, where the sound emerge - head tones, chest voice, they all affect the "ring" of a sound.
Sounds strange? (oh, I'm funny)
Simply hold on to a note (any note) and start changing your mouth shape by doing vowels. You will immediately hear the change in tonality and you also realise how the voice sounds much rounder in "ee" (as in yu) than "ii".

What do local audiences look out for in an acappella performance?
1. Original songs or familiar covers?
2. Classy sophistication or corny humour?
3. Tight, polished harmonies or awesome leads?
4. Youthful, funky look or elegant, stylish fashion?
5. Large-scale amplified sound or cosy, unplugged vocals?
