Day 7 - Click here to read more!

This week flew by—wow, what a whirlwind! Today was a heavy day, though. I woke up feeling a little down, and that mood lingered throughout the day. It was hard to feel motivated, but I’ve learned that tough days are part of the journey. Even when you don’t feel like it, you’ve got to push yourself to do the things you know need to be done.

Morning Breakthroughs

I started the day by recording some vocals. While doing that, I made a decision: I’m never using autotune on my lead vocals again. From now on, every lead vocal I record will be raw and real—just my voice. I’m a singer, and my voice sounds so much better without it.

I also finally got in touch with the venue today. They told me to email them (OMG, right?), so I did. It’s a journey trying to connect with the programmer, but I’ll get there!

Dance & Creativity

This evening, I had my second dance class. I absolutely love it! I took one class before the holiday break, and now I’m back. I can’t wait to practice what we’ve been learning—it’s so much fun.

I also connected with a photographer for an amazing shoot we’re planning. Even though my creativity felt a little low today, I’m excited about this project. It’s all part of the process, even on the tougher days.

New Ideas & Strategies

I listened to two podcasts today, and they gave me so much to think about.

1. TikTok Content: I realized my current content doesn’t really fit the TikTok vibe. People go there to be entertained. So, I’m going to start recording covers and see how that goes. It’ll also be great practice for live singing, which I absolutely love.
2. Podcasting Lessons: When I eventually launch my own podcast, I need to embrace the idea that the first 100 episodes might not be perfect. It’s all about learning and improving along the way.

Building Connections

I made progress with my mailing list today, too. A few people signed up (thank you!), and I’ve figured out how to collect emails and send updates. I designed an email featuring a snippet of my new single, and I’m planning to schedule it in a few days. I’m curious to see how it goes!

Lastly, I came up with a really cool idea: I asked fans to record voice memos that I’m going to incorporate into a song. I think it’s going to be so special.

Reflection

Mentally, today was tough, but I kept going, and that’s what matters most. I’m proud of myself for pushing through. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
