🐒 NEW: Indri #lemurs, #Madagascar’s only #singing #primates, open their mouths wider to hit higher pitches, a vocal technique that parallels human #opera singers.
Motion-tracking analysis of #video recordings showed that mouth openings track pitch changes, helping calls carry across dense #rainforest for social bonding and territorial warnings.

Got permission to practise trills at my singing lesson today. Until now I'd had to promise to be good and not try to sing trills even when my early music ears told me the music needed one. Had to learn to sing smooth phrases first, guess that's going well enough now! :)

Sang a solo in a new to me church yesterday morning. Still rather nervous about singing solo! It went pretty well, more or less what I'm capable of doing right now. To sing better I'll have to keep practising! Which means I'm quite happy about it. :)
Church services nowadays are conveniently streamed so if anyone's curious, you can still hear it. At about 40:50, Bringt her dem Herren by Schütz. Harpsichordists name is Alice van Eldik, she's a choir mate of mine (how all this came about).

#WordWeavers 18, Can your MCs carry a tune?
Hn, where are they carrying it?
Dystaria - I don't know, but I do know she would unapologetically sing silly pop songs at Karaoke if she knew what they were. And maybe some screamy metal. Which would prob be adorb and terrifying all at once.
Filia - I don't know if she has ever tried. But knowing her she'd prob be a natural at it and just be annoyingly and disgustingly good.
Alt Dio - Lol no. She is alt me so we have the curse of both having rly good ears for music and a rly not great ability to sing in a way that isn't cringe for us.

I never ( except just once) sing solo. Nerves make my voice go off key.
But I'm happy to sing with others, so made an effort to drink enough coffee to stay up for the late evening circle on the last night
For my turn I intended to read the new lyrics I wrote the previous night, until I opened the file and locked at the second verse.
So I told a new story that began with the trip back to my room the previous evening.
I wish I could remember the stories I make up on the spot
I need a secretary to follow me around.
Hint it included my old mobility scooter, Beaker.
