Light in the Dark by Crrissa and Sessions with Sirbaugh crrissa_the_cyberbard 2025-02-25 | I met Sirbaugh in my Twitch chat. He was kind and was the first to call me “sister” while I streamed. He gave me big sweeping compliments and made me feel like a real musician. I was recently informed on my Discord that my friend, Sirabugh, has passed away. Months ago, I had sent my song, Light in the Dark to him to produce and he gave me this mp3 that you can hear in the video above.Right after he said he wanted to do more work on it and then I got the news of his passing.This song will stay in this mp3 format and live on in its "unfinished" and perfectly finished state forever. I am also so blessed to have had several wonderful vocalists join me on this last chorus of the piece. This song in particular brings to light so many dark places that we can feel as humans and I certainly hope that in this somber moment of Sirbaugh's passing we can call remember that there still can be a light in the dark.Light in the DarknessTRIPLET OSTINATO G4, D5, E5BASS LINE: FThere’s always something in the heat of a spark E D There’s always someone, so dear, they leave a mark G FThere’s always powers, unseen and unheard E D When the flame gets lit, its the lighter who gets burned BASS LINE: F There’s always mountains, too big to move ourselves E D There’s people out there, who have mountains to move as well G FSo just remember, when you are trying hard to succeed E D A flame must burn, for the wind to carry the seed.CHORUS G Fsus2Light shines brighter in the darkness, G Fsus2Seeps in through a silent promise, G Fsus2Makes itself known by a sliver, G Fsus2Gives itself to the selfless giverTRIPLET OSTINATO G4, D5, E5There’s always someone, who takes all the cheap shots, Who circles and feeds on the ones who are lost, Many people lead us to believe,That we’ll Never be worthy of anything we achieve G FSo just remember, when you are trying hard to succeed E D A flame must burn, for the wind to carry the seed MUSICAL INTERLUDE G Fsus2Light shines brighter in the darkness, G Fsus2Feeds itself through the open heartedG Fsus2Moves through even the darkest places, G4 G2 Fsus2Pours through the most beaten faces.G Fsus2Light shines brighter in the darknessG Fsus2Light shines brighter in the darknessG Fsus2Light shines brighter in the darknessG Fsus2Light shines brighter in the darkness__________________________________________
English As She Is Spoke by Graham Yates is OUT NOW! crrissa_the_cyberbard 2025-02-21 | Come see some immaculate vibes over on my YouTube channel! The full song cycle is out today!
English As She Is Spoke by Graham Yates crrissa_the_cyberbard 2025-02-21 | My dear friend Graham wrote this wildly charming song cycle called, "English as She Is Spoke" based on a book by a Portuguese-English phrase book written by an author who, remarkably, spoke no English. With the help of a pair of dictionaries, Pedro Carolino (the unknowing librettist of this piece) translated a series of expressions from his native Portuguese into French and from French into English. The result is a set of poems with unintentional hilarity, even praised by Mark Twain for its "miraculous stupidities."Twain continues, "In this world of uncertainties, there is, at any rate, one thing which may be pretty confidently set down as a certainty: and that is, that this celebrated little phrase-book will never die while the English language lasts. Its delicious unconscious ridiculousness, and its enchanting naïvete are as supreme and unapproachable, in their way, as are Shakespeare's sublimities."And so, my friend Graham decided that the delicious ridiculousness needed to be put to music. This video is a result of several months of learning on my part, and several years in the making for Graham, and I am truly honored to be the first to interpret it. Here are where all the songs sit in the video so you can skip around and listen to your favorites:0:18 The Walk4:11 For to Ride a Horse7:41 The Field10:34 The Books and Of the Reading 13:32 The WeatherIf you need to get your hands on this sheet music or any other composition this wonderful man has written, click either of these two links to get your very own copy:sheetmusicplus.com/en/explore?q=graham+yatesjwpepper.com/sheet-music/search.jsp?setStickyDepartment=true&suggested&departmentDescriptions&keywords=graham+yatesIf you want to hear more of his music, go subscribe to him on YouTube:youtube.com/@grahamyatespianist

What Baking Can Do from Waitress the Musical crrissa_the_cyberbard 2025-01-29 | I recently auditioned for Waitress the Musical at Zach Scott Theatre in Austin, Texas. I got called back for the role I originally auditioned for (Dawn). But something unexpected happened...I also got a callback for the lead role! I had never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would have been called back for the leading role (Jenna) in this show. Its a BIG emotional piece about a young mother who has an unexpected pregnancy. I was assigned a few pieces for the callback including this one called, "What Baking Can Do."After learning this song and coaching it with my musical theatre coach, Micheal Scott Harris, I now believe this is most challenging vocal piece in the entire role. Good on the directors for asking us to sing this in the callback! Yesterday, I received the email that told me "Unfortunately, we don't have a role for you in this production, but we look forward to considering you for future productions!"Regardless of how the cast list looks this time, learning this piece has been such a delight and I wouldn't take back my audition experience for the world!I would love to play Jenna someday, until then, here is a sweet taste of What Baking Can Do.
Pro Singer Live Reacts to David Phelps Singing O Holy Night crrissa_the_cyberbard 2024-12-23 | Hence forth, I will not longer be giving any singer on my channel number ratings. The human voice is a high variable instrument and putting a number to a performance seems silly in hindsight. Moving forward I'll be discussing the traits I see in voice technique and the things I like and dislike as a singer and vocal teacher. Take 'am or leave 'em! David's voice is absolutely gorgeous. Not in love with all of his breath mark choices...but I loved that high operatic sound at the end! So pretty! Thank you Kurt for sending me this video! I really enjoyed the performance! So many neat choices and his voice is so versatile!

My Darling Jim by Tom Cipullo from the Opera Glory Denied crrissa_the_cyberbard 2024-08-08 | Glory Denied is an opera by Tom Cipullo based on the true story of US Army Colonel Floyd “Jim” Thompson, America's longest-held prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. The opera follows Thompson and his wife Alyce from the time he was shot down in 1964 and captured by the Viet Cong, through his nine years in captivity, and to his return home. The opera also explores the impact of the war on their family and the country as a whole, and how families can suffer for generations in these situations. In this aria, Alyce sings of the normalcy of life despite her husband's absence. Thank you to everyone who made this video series possible!

Little Girls Singing Opera Arias for the Sake of Sensationalism is Not Impressive crrissa_the_cyberbard 2024-01-01 | Don't get me wrong...Amira ROCKS! Her voice teacher absolutely ROCKS!I like her better on the Sound of Music repertoire and I have my reasons why.Again, this is a disclaimer that my opinion is my own and I was asked to react to this video. I will always give my true opinion and it will always be based in my years of singing, coaching, teaching and performing. This little girl's voice is wonderful. But, showing off her operatic ability at such a young age for sensationalism disconnects me from her performance overall.

Twitchs Music Category should have 5 BILLION Followers crrissa_the_cyberbard 2023-11-30 | If you are a musician, performer, or creative I would highly recommend live streaming. Long form live content is a great way to build an audience, solidify your brand, and try out some creative endeavors! Live streams can help bolster and build a following of people that really relate to you as a person, and most of the stream can be just relating to your fans, believe it or not.Want to jump in my chat and see if the platform is for you? Click Here for a Full Walk Through of How to Sign on and Engage in Chat:charissawhillock.com/twitch-how-toIf you are seriously considering starting a musical Twitch channel, please purchase this incredibly economical resource written by one of the moderators of my friend MarinaVMusic on Twitch: This book gives you everything you need to know. Seriously. twitchformusicians.com My Personal Tips for a creative career live stream:8:29 ReciprocitySocial Media is all about social trade offs. Follow for follow, like for like, help me, help you–it's a sea of reciprocity. Which is a fancy word for the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit, especially privileges. How do we put that into practice?Go watch other’s creator’s content. Sit in their chat room and actively engage. Make friends with people in the chat and share your human experience. I promise this will help your channel and stream grow as well. If you think you are above this kind of work then you will have better luck buying your followers. Go do that instead. 11:07 Respect Every single content creator has an order of conduct. Their brand will heavily inspire these deeply held beliefs and boundaries. Twitch is a phenomenal platform because every single viewer has to click through a list of rules the streamer creates that clears up these boundaries.Read them once and hang back in the chat until you have figured out what the vibe is for the day. Is the streamer handling a major illness and their symptoms are flaring up? Is the chat trauma dumping and needs some support? Keep your eyes and heart open to the real life interactions that are happening in these online chat rooms and respond accordingly. 12:02 Random ChaosNow take everything I just said with a grain of pepper because life is chaos. The whole point of live streams is to create a LIVE interaction. In a social media hellscape of canned media, streaming allows us to feel alive in the midst of so many highlight reels. Show up earnestly, and as a streamer AND a chatter, expect chaos. No live stream is technologically flawless. Every streamer has tech issues! That’s what makes even the organized professional streamers relatable! If you are on stream and you are frustrated with a technology issue, just know that everyone has gone through something like this in the streaming world, and your community is there to see you grow, and troubleshooting is a huge part of growth.

I couldn't help but share this info with you guys because I felt it was really important to break down how to look at a pop voice. There are different textures that UPSAHL is creating in her voice. 1. Off the voice, Whisper Pop Production2. On the Core of the Voice, Talk Pop Production3. Billie Eilish "Cursive" Intimate Talk Sing4. BONUS---Disney Princess Clean Mix VoiceTerms I am using that make sense to me:Off the Voice: The core of the sound is not there, it is replaced with a breathy tone that is smaller in volume and presenceOn the Core: Core of the Sound or Vocal is there, and breathy sound is not present, clean clear Pop Production: Any pop vocal that is recognizable in the industry as a poppy vibe or feelTalk: A note that is on pitch, but is spoken, no vibrato, very casual soundCursive Singing: Rounded, Shy, Intimate, Curved Vowel Shapes that are super popular in lots of current pop singersClean: No vibrato, no breathy quality, note is sung without any dip or fall, break or yodelMix Voice: The nasal quality of sound that can bridge the chest and head voice.Get access to live reactions earlier than anyone else, vote on new songs for me to learn, and see behind-the-scenes vlogspatreon.com/crrissa_the_cyberbardWatch me perform live, request songs, and join the hype traintwitch.tv/crrissa_the_cyberbardAdd my original music to your favorite playlistopen.spotify.com/artist/2LG39IPq44CgdSrqlRsQ2o Get the best (and affordable) backtracks for your auditions or practicehttps://lddy.no/1esb8Thanks for watching my videos and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button to get notified when I post new content!

Twitch Music Streamer Interviews Dan Clancy, CEO of Twitch and Sings a Virtual Duet crrissa_the_cyberbard 2023-08-31 | I met Dan Clancy in the only appropriate place to meet the CEO of Twitch: In a Twitch chat. My friend Rob Kovacs was interviewing Dan on his channel and I raided Rob after my stream and hung out for a bit. Rob shouted me out on stream and Dan and I connected later on in person at Paris Twitch Con! Dan told me that he'd be jumping on stage to close out the weekend and so I stayed and happened to get the chance to sing "Hey Jude" with all the musical twitch lovelies. Dan Clancy is a kind and patient dude who seems to really support the artists and musicians on Twitch. I am glad he is leading the company and I am more than happy to continue building up my channel and chat through wholesome vibes and a warm musical community. Just a little disclaimer, Dan and I don't really look at each other much in this interview and its because our eyes are also scrolling through our chat of about 30 people online having their own conversations, asking questions and giving us encouragement. Sometimes it can look at little disconnected, but its because we are connecting to the people who show up to see us perform. :) Thanks to everyone who showed up and made that day really warm and wonderful. 0:00-0:57 Intro & Hellos0:57-3:24 Give us a personal account on how you got your new gig at Twitch4:03-7:13 Charissa sings "Angel from Montgomery" 7:30-8:52 Dan's Perspective on "Over-Done" Music9:14-13:40 Dan Sings "Diamonds and Gasoline"15:17-18:11 What is Your Impression of Daddy Bezos?18:17-20:41 Past Twitch Con Experience & Paris Twitch Con 20:42-22:32 What are Some Improvements You'd Like to Make to Con?22:23-23:59 Sound Tech Talk for the Kappa Stage at Twitch Con24:11-31:12 "Boots of Spanish Leather" Duet31:38- Are there any plans to assist musicians and artists on Twitch in enhancing their visibility and presence?______________________________________________________Want some wholesome musical vibes every week?Come stop by at www.twitch.tv/crrissa_the_cyberbardDan also streams music every Wednesday!
