September 19 ------ Lani gave her two cents’ worth by saying, “Of course, in singing contests or a talent show, meron siya talagang isang susundan ka na formula. Of course, you also consider many other factors.” “No. 1 dapat magaling ka talagang kumanta kaya ka nga nakasali dito kasi meron ka ng boses at marunong kang kumanta,” shared she. “No. 2 is nanduon yung quality ng boses mo (the quality of your voice). No. 3 is maganda kang magbigay ng emosyon sa kanta. No. 4 is that you should have versatility. You’re versatile, song choice-and-voice-wise.”
Related to the latter is the singer’s vocal range. Pieces of information available online describe it as the octaves or pitches a human voice can reach or produce. “Definitely, you have the advantage if your range is wide or you can hit high notes. Yun yung isang… category na sinusunod namin na dapat malaki ang range mo.” It means a Clasher could seamlessly shift from low notes to high notes in a performance.
Perhaps only a few people are gifted with such an ability or a talent. “There are singers who have a naturally high (pitched) voice,” said she, “Meron talagang mga soprano at may mga alto.” If singers wish to expand their vocal range, they can do exercises or practices as Lani suggested. “Meron din namang mga practices o mga exercises na pu-pwede nilang gawin kung gusto talaga nilang maka-hit nung mga high notes na yan (there are practices and exercises they can try if they want to hit those high notes), although there are those who are born with bass (a low adult voice range) for guys or with alto or mezzo-soprano for girls. Those are their vocal range.” Aside from doing proper exercises, performers need to adhere to the old adage, “Practice makes perfect.” “Sana talagang practisin nila ng practisin para hindi sila magkamali o pumalpak whenever na mag-hi-hit sila ng mga high notes,” said Lani.
