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 Darkness
TRIPLET OSTINATO G4, D5, E5
BASS LINE: F There’s always something in the heat of a spark E D There’s always someone, so dear, they leave a mark G F There’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 F So just remember, when you are trying hard to succeed E D A flame must burn, for the wind to carry the seed.
CHORUS
G Fsus2 Light shines brighter in the darkness, G Fsus2 Seeps in through a silent promise, G Fsus2 Makes itself known by a sliver, G Fsus2 Gives itself to the selfless giver
TRIPLET OSTINATO G4, D5, E5
There’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 F So 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 Fsus2 Light shines brighter in the darkness, G Fsus2 Feeds itself through the open hearted G Fsus2 Moves through even the darkest places, G4 G2 Fsus2 Pours through the most beaten faces.
G Fsus2 Light shines brighter in the darkness
G Fsus2 Light shines brighter in the darkness
G Fsus2 Light shines brighter in the darkness
G Fsus2 Light shines brighter in the darkness
__________________________________________English As She Is Spoke by Graham Yates is OUT NOW!crrissa_the_cyberbard2025-02-21 | Come see some immaculate vibes over on my YouTube channel! The full song cycle is out today!English As She Is Spoke by Graham Yatescrrissa_the_cyberbard2025-02-21 | 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 Walk 4:11 For to Ride a Horse 7:41 The Field 10:34 The Books and Of the Reading 13:32 The Weather

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 Nightcrrissa_the_cyberbard2024-12-23 | Hence forth, I will not longer be giving any singer on my channel number ratings.

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!

Put some sea salt or table salt in a cup of water, microwave or boil water, have it cool to a warm temp, pour in cup with salt, and gargle with and without a humming sound of the voice to give the vocal instrument some relief.

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.

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.
Sincerely hope you guys enjoy my take and hopefully you don't hate me too much!

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.

If 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.
My Personal Tips for a creative career live stream:
8:29 Reciprocity
Social 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 Chaos
Now 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 Production 2. On the Core of the Voice, Talk Pop Production 3. Billie Eilish "Cursive" Intimate Talk Sing 4. BONUS---Disney Princess Clean Mix Voice
Terms 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 presence
On 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 feel
Talk: A note that is on pitch, but is spoken, no vibrato, very casual sound
Cursive Singing: Rounded, Shy, Intimate, Curved Vowel Shapes that are super popular in lots of current pop singers
Clean: No vibrato, no breathy quality, note is sung without any dip or fall, break or yodel
Mix Voice: The nasal quality of sound that can bridge the chest and head voice.

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. :)

It didn't work out this time. But that doesn't make you any less talented, beautiful, handsome, good or valuable.
Take some time to do something that really lights you up that has NOTHING to do with your audition you just had.
Still reading? Well...This video is a segment of a 4 part series I made for anyone who is auditioning and needs a pep talk. Check out the other 3 below:

Today--and they are an bundle of nerves. If you are that person and need help from a friendly face, watch this video. This is something similar to what I say to my students if they have nerves or fear. We can acknowledge our fear as it pertains to this industry and also understand the larger scope of things. I certainly hope this video helps you or your students do just that.

I have always been interested in vocal technique used by rock singers and I would honestly love to take a lesson or two from this guy. I'd be real interested to see what I can imitate with his methods and exercises!
I certainly hope you enjoy this classically trained singer's perspective on the "hock method."
Here's his video I reviewed if you'd like to view it yourself! youtu.be/LMSmsx04zsY

Honestly. I think I found what genre I love listening to most. In this video, I break down a highly stylized voice. That is where my passion lies. Breaking down how the singer moves their voice to make something like this seem effortless!

Elaine Duran has a wonderful voice and truly an amazing talent of mimic--just like the incredible Marcelito Pomoy! This was a great video, but I am craving more! More of Elaine's unique voice. As a vocalist, I am finding I want to hear more unique voices and interpretations that defy the original recordings.
If you think you got a video for me to react to---post the link in the comments below! Thank you all for your continued support and excitement about these videos! More to come in 2023!
