A couple of rants

Here's some ranting I recorded...there was too much to say to type it out coherently so I decided to just babble about it for a while. I've been hit with an illness very similar to the one I had near the beginning of April, though it's much less severe and is likely just a cold, so I sound rather awful and I do mention this in my rants.

I touch on several subjects...and there are no examples of my singing in there (good or bad, take that as you will).

Rant 1 (8.6MB)
1. 00:00-15:44 Geer Week band (I haven't mentioned this on LJ at all previously, but I think my explanation should be sufficient).
2. 15:44-17:52 Choir concert on Monday: being sick. Segues into:
3. 18:55-21:21 Post-concert drinking behaviour

There's a gap of about 4 hours between the making of the two recordings, with a choir rehearsal in between.

Rant 2 (2.5MB)
4. 00:00-06:19 The Vibrato Thing. Again. (I accidently forgot to rant about this in the other recording. I also forget to mention here that my range and pitch also drastically decrease (and I get rather tense) when I attempt to sing straight. Not to mention that I was sick and therefore my concentration is prioritized on getting sounds out of my mouth and not getting a coughing fit in the middle of the concert.)

I originally recorded these for Jenn, she's an opera singer, because I told her yesterday that I was rather upset at some things and I wanted to talk to her about it, but I didn't want to have to type it all out on MSN. So I made these recordings today for her, that's why there may be some usage of pronouns and assumptions being made that you may not have the context for.

I know I talk quite fast, hence I prefer to call my ranting 'babbling'.
