Remembrance Day Canadian Tribute - Run (Leona Lewis version) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2011-11-11 | Today will be the first Remembrance Day I've not spent at home in Canada and since I am unable to take part in any Canadian Remembrance Day services this year, I thought the best way to show my respect and support would be to do another tribute video, this time focusing just on Canadian forces. Instead of singing a classical song like I did for my first video, I decided to sing something a little more contemporary and chose Leona Lewis's beautiful rendition of Run (originally done by Snow Patrol). The pictures I chose are meant to reflect not only my respect for the armed forces, but to show the support and love from friends, families, and all others who appreciate who they are and what they do. I wanted to convey the sadness of losing soldiers who gave their lives, the joy of troops who have made it home safely, and also remind us all that there are still men and women who continue to serve and give their lives.I also want to take this time to give people the opportunity to show support by checking out these sites:http://www.herofund.cahttp://www.redfridays.cahttp://www.forces.gc.ca/site/commun/message/index-eng.asphttp://ptsdassociation.com/about-ptsd-association.phphttp://www.thankasoldier.netAlso, because I believe that supporting our troops should be a continual thing and not something just limited to Remembrance day, if anyone wants to send me additional support links or give me permission to use their own, I will add them to this description at any time.I want to thank everyone who helped me find photos, support sites, and who suggested songs for me to sing. I appreciate it SO much, thank you all.Thank you to all the troops who have served, are still serving, and to all who will one day serve in the future. This is for you. Some pictures were obtained through The Department of National Defence at http://www.combatcamera.ca.

Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2023-02-05 | I've been meaning to put this one out for a while now. I actually recorded this the week after the infamous Stranger Things episode aired, but life got in the way (as it always does) and so I didn't get around to mixing it until recently.I decided to make the video a little tribute to Max, as she's one of my favourite characters on the show. The instrumental I used is actually the beautiful arrangement by Rob Simonsen that plays during the end credits of the Max episode, which I cut and edited to make a little longer and suitable for adding vocals. I also had to add a bit of piano and vocals to the start as some sounds from the end of the episode actually bled over into the start of the song.Special thanks to Chance Bemmer for helping with the final mixNo copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Dont Look Back (Rick and Morty) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2022-05-19 | Anyone who knows me probably knows I'm a Rick and Morty fan, so I guess it was only a matter of time before I covered this song lol. As funny and silly and ridiculous as this show is, there's also a lot of sad and touching moments in it, so I wanted to capture that with my video so I put together the clips of those moments throughout the show.

Pandora (2WEI & Edda Hayes) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2022-05-01 | I happened upon this song completely by accident and just instantly loved it, so I knew I had to cover it! This is also my first song experimenting with adding a full choir to it and I just LOVE how it's turned out!Didn't really know what to do with the video, but since I spent so much time on the song, I ran out of energy to do something fancy. I ended up just going with something simple, but nice. The song felt well suited for something fantasy themed, so I found this Elden Ring live wallpaper and I thought it gave equal parts beautiful, creepy, and grand vibes, just like the song.Huge thanks to Chance Bemmer for helping me mix this and making it sound as epic as possible!Original song by 2WEI & Edda Hayes: youtube.com/watch?v=F7j5yQyqtToInstrumental Version created by 2WEI INSTRUMENTALES: youtube.com/watch?v=M_LEKwZ-7bALive Animated Wallpaper by Honey Badger: youtube.com/watch?v=9RtzibHB7Aw&t=1416sOriginal Artwork by Fantazyme: deviantart.com/fantazyme/art/The-Elden-Ring-Yggdrasil-882432605Please go check out all of the above incredibly talented people and their work!No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

What Could Have Been (Arcane: League Of Legends) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2022-02-06 | I recently finished watching this on Netflix and knew I wanted to cover this song the second I heard it! It's also a really good series, highly recommend watching it if you haven't seen it already! I did all the backing vocals myself as I didn't use a vocoder like the original, and I also added some of my own harmonies to make it more of my own.

Wicked Game (Ursine Vulpine/Annaca Version) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2022-01-27 | I have been wanting to cover this song for YEARS but only recently found the instrumental to it! I'm obsessed with this version lol. I'm also proud to say this is my first cover in my new place!It's a very cinematic arrangement, which I felt needed a cinematic video, so I decided to go with a space theme because what's more epic than space? I also I love all things space so this gave me an excuse. I used clips from two space shows I really like: Alien Worlds (Netflix) and Universe (BBC). Highly recommend both those shows if you haven't seen them and like space docs.This is a cover of a cover, but if you haven't heard the Ursine Vulpine version featuring Annaca, please please go listen its astounding!Ursine Vulpine Original Cover: youtube.com/watch?v=8-2hUmoaPfUI purchased the instrumental off of Karaoke Version: karaoke-version.co.ukNo copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Hurts (Emeli Sande) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2021-09-28 | This has been sitting on my computer for quite some time now and as I'm moving in the next couple days, I figure I might as well get one more cover posted from my old house! I think someone requested I do this one, but I can't remember (Sorry if this was you! lol!)No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Twice (Little Dragon) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2021-01-04 | I have a huge backlog of covers I never released because I just felt they weren't good enough or forgot about them. This was one of those covers I just didn't feel was good enough at the time, but now I just don't care lol so I'm going to be releasing all the covers I didn't release for one reason or another. I pitched my cover up because I don't have that nice smokey indie voice that Little Dragon has (and all the other people who cover this song seem to have) so I figured this key goes better with my voice type. I hope anyways lol. I also sung the backing vocals. Credit to the phenomenal instrumental cover I used goes to Vavara Sw: youtube.com/c/BarbaraSwan2018/featured Credit to the gorgeous footage I used goes to Tech and Cake: youtube.com/channel/UCDB3cWhI9K6airge4rQmrOA .

The Last Goodbye (WW1 Remembrance Day Tribute) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2020-11-11 | It's been a while since I did a Remembrance Day tribute, and this year I wanted to specifically do a World War 1 tribute. I recently watched They Shall Not Grow Old, an amazing documentary film by Peter Jackson where he restored and colourized a bunch of old WW1 footage, which is where I pulled most of the clips from. It's an brilliant and hard hitting documentary and I highly highly HIGHLY recommend that everyone watch it. I always wanted to give a huge shoutout to Alex Paradise, whom I sourced the black and white clips from. He did a 30 minute video of footage from the Battle of the Somme where he painstakingly stabilized and speed corrected the footage. I also highly advise you check out his video which is incredible as well. You can watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=g4EY7Q26rTw&t=285s I mirrored all the footage in the hopes that YouTube wont take down my video as I did work quite hard on it, so if any of the footage looks off, that's probably why. The song is The Last Goodbye originally sung by Billy Boyd, from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. I thought it was quite fitting lyrically, and also the fact that it's from a Peter Jackson film as well. I added my own harmonies to make the song a little more personalized to me.Please see below for my previous Remembrance Day videos:youtube.com/watch?v=4V1jpevtkXYyoutube.com/watch?v=qKTBA-YBOqwyoutube.com/watch?v=kcgth4iIuOEyoutube.com/watch?v=Ia1KKI3WEFo No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

BBs Theme (Death Stranding) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2020-05-22 | **PLEASE READ**This game has literally been my ENTIRE quarantine. I spent the first half playing the game, and the second half working on this cover! This game was amazing and made me cry like a baby (cry like a BB? Okay I'll stop...)I used the instrumental from the amazing Yohann Busani (youtube.com/watch?v=Rnv0xeU2ayk) and personalized it for myself. I added some Hans Zimmer drums, a few base drops, symbols, synths, male chorus lines, and added the baby laughter at the end. I also worked hard to match a lot of the clips to the music. I sifted through over 10 hours of game cinematics, picking out over 100 clips, and then narrowing those down to what you see in my video. With all the effort I put into the video, I decided to make it a little bit bigger in the frame.I also had to guess at many of the harmonies on the backing vocals (I think I made a few of them up in the end *shrugs*) and I also wasn't sure on the lyrics as there are many different versions online and it's hard in places to hear in the original, so I just went with one. Sorry if it's wrong!No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only. I make NO money from my videos and claim to own nothing but my voice.
Into The Unknown (Frozen 2) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2020-02-09 | **PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION***I really wanted to do another montage video for this cover the way I used to, but apparently YouTube is really cracking down on Disney footage so I decided not to risk it. I've been wanting to cover this video since the movie came out, but it wasn't until I stumbled across this INCREDIBLE instrumental made by Froststudio Chambersonic that I knew I had to cover it like RIGHT NOW! Please go check out their channel and support them! I got direct permission to use their instrumental, so if anyone else wants to do the same, please make sure to contact them by email at frostharmonic@gmail.com.

Say Something (A Great Big World) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2020-01-28 | This is another song I recorded just before Christmas but didn't get around to mixing it. Please excuse the distortions in the backing track in places, I had to pitch it up by quite a bit from the original key to the key I wanted!Also credit to the beautiful video goes to NatureStockVideos:youtube.com/channel/UCX9s2iTBvS-_-oauq7o_VYwPlease also visit their website:naturestockvideos.com this person clearly puts a LOT of hard work into their videos.

Kindergarten Boyfriend (Heathers) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2020-01-23 | I actually recorded this before Christmas, but only now just finished mixing it (oops!).Please excuse the lyrical flubs. It was too late to do anything about them once I noticed, so I adjusted the on screen lyrics accordingly xDI found it sad that there are next to no wallpapers of Martha (the irony) and I didn't want to take anyone's fan art, so I just made a lyric video instead! Hope you enjoy, I plan to do more Heathers covers in the future!
Nightsong (World Of Warcraft) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2019-02-26 | Hey all! I really want to get back into recording on a regular basis, but it's been so long I wasn't sure what to do. It popped into my head to do another World of Warcraft song, even though instrumentals for them are pretty impossible to find. I got lucky with this song, as the extended version essentially just repeats itself but without vocals at the end so woohoo!I also decided to ask my friend Sacha for some artwork, as he let me use his Sylvanas artwork years ago back when I did my Lament of the Highborne cover. I'm happy to say my video editing skills have come far enough since then that I can actually upload high quality videos to properly showcase his amazing artwork in HD! Sacha so generously spared a few days to touching up this amazing piece specifically for my video, therefore I decided to fade out my overlaying title so his amazing artwork can be fully showcased! Thank you so much Sacha!Please check out the rest of Sacha's INCREDIBLE artwork by visiting the links below:Sacha's Facebook:facebook.com/sacha.angel.dienerSacha's Instagram:instagram.com/thefirstangel_artSacha's Deviant Art:deviantart.com/thefirstangelNo copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

In His Eyes (Jekyll & Hyde) Cover by Kendra Masonchuck and Krishana Parker Kendra 2018-06-26 | This cover is old...and I mean OLD! I did this with my friend Krishana 4 years ago!!! O_O... I don't know why I never uploaded it. I think back then I was unhappy with my part and the mixing for some reason, then I just never did anything with it and eventually forgot about it lol... But it's now re-emerged randomly and after listening to it once more after so long, I decided it's worth sharing, especially for the amazingly talented Krishana! (Also, sorry Krishana that it's taken this long to share your awesome voice on my channel xD)This song is a special one for Krishana and I. It pretty much became our go to song whenever we sang live together at various concerts and cabarets. It's a unique version we acquired during our time together at our music academy ages ago (where we met), and it's stuck ever since!This one is for you girly! xNo copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Ashes (Deadpool 2) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2018-06-01 | There's no possible way I could come close to sounding like Celine The Queen Dion so I didn't even try, but I love this song more than I probably should so I had to cover it! Also, I seem to be one of only a handful of people who actually enjoyed Deadpool 2?

Dont Forget Me (Smash) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2017-11-06 | Last year at my academy, I got to do a section of this song for a mock audition and I thought it would be really fun to have a go at the full thing so here it is!For those interested, I purchased the instrumental from http://www.karaoke-version.co.ukNo copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

With You (Ghost The Musical) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2017-06-10 | Where to start... This might be a bit of a long one. This is a song I never thought I would be capable of singing. I've wanted to sing this song for an incredibly long time, but I've always felt like it was just beyond me. I have a lot of trouble belting on closed vowel sounds like "Ooo's" and "Eee's", don't know why, I just have. Recently, I finished a show with my academy and it's done something for me that no other performance has ever been able to do for me before. It completely wiped away all my nerves. I have never been able to sing as well on stage as I can in my bedroom and that's mostly down to my nerves inhibiting me, but after my freeing experience performing with Staveley Theatre Academy, I feel like a whole realm of possibilities has opened up for me as a performer so I decided to go for this song and I'm so incredibly thrilled that I managed to do it. It might seem silly, but there we go. New personal achievement!

Know Who You Are (Moana) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck [SPOILER] Kendra 2017-02-13 | If you haven't seen Moana yet, you prooooobably shouldn't watch this as it's kind of the climax of the movie lol. I know this is quite a short cover, but I just love everything about this moment in the film. It gets me right in the feels every time!This was actually the first song I recorded in 2017, but since I wanted to use a video clip for it and Moana wasn't out yet, I had to wait.

How Far Ill Go (Moana) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2017-01-08 | Wow, a new video from me! I know right? Where to start. Well, 2016 was a pretty bad year for me for personal reasons and I still have a lot of recovering and healing to do from it. One thing I forgot during that time was how much healing music can do and as part of my new years resolution, I want to do more covers for myself...and for my poor neglected subscribers lol. [Click Show More]That being said, Moana was the perfect choice for me to start 2017 with. I connected with it in a way I havent done with a Disney film in a very very long time, so it means a lot to me. Expect to see more covers from it!I wanted to use a clip with this, but everything I found got my video blocked worldwide and I just couldn't be bothered to spend the next 500 years hunting around and being sneaky enough in my editing to get around YouTube's algorithms lolShout out to is imDRUNKonTea who did the artwork, you can view more of his incredible work at: http://imdrunkontea.deviantart.comNo copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

My Heart Will Go On (Titanic) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2016-04-15 | **PLEASE READ**It's been too long since I've uploaded a cover and with not much free time on my hands, I wanted to do something I already knew and wouldn't take too long to do. This felt like an appropriate song to choose.I used a different instrumental for this instead of the original karaoke because I wanted to do my own thing with the song and since my voice sounds nothing like Celine Dion's, it would have just been a bad idea lol. I pulled the instrumental from YouTube, but the person who uploaded it didn't include any details so I don't know who to credit and I can't find the video anymore for some reason lol. So if anyone knows, let me know.I'm also going to let everyone know now that for the time being, I will not be able to do any further collaborations due to personal reasons. This also sadly includes collaborations I've I have already agreed to do, which I am terribly sorry for. I need to focus on myself and my own singing for a while with the limited free time I have.

Writings On The Wall (Sam Smith) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-10-06 | This isn't as tidy as I would have liked it, but I've been getting a lot of requests to sing this since it was released so I thought I'd give it a go. Since the movie isn't evcen out yet, I had to splice together 4 trailers plus parts of Sam Smith's music video, which was kind of a pain but I'm satisfied with the result lol. I also sang this up a whole tone from the original key in an attempt to make it better suit my voice. Hope you like it.No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only. I claim to own nothing but my voice.http://www.kendramasonchuck.com

Lovers (Kathleen Battle) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-08-25 | ***PLEASE READ FULL***I've been meaning to redo this song for about 5 years now, but I wanted to redo it with a proper instrumental instead of a low quality vocal remove track. I was hoping over the years someone would release a backing track for it, but it just never happened to my knowledge. I've come a long way as a recording artist since then though, and have acquired the skills and means to create my own adequette backing tracks when the occasion calls for it. I realized this was such an occasion and decided to have a go at making an instrumental for Lovers. It's not perfect, nor is it professional quality, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.Ive also had loads and loads of people ask for the backing track to my original cover over the years, but I lost my files from back then and at the time, I didn't know how to create a vocal remove track (someone else had made it for me). I told many people that if I ever came across a new one, I'd share it. I fully intended to do that with this one, but have run into a few complications along the way that I'm trying to sort through before posting my instrumental. If and when it gets sorted, I will post a link to my instrumental here in the description. In the mean time, now that I have the know-how to create vocal remove tracks, I've recreated the track I used in my original cover. It's not the best quality but it is what I used for my original cover which is what people had been asking for:http://www.mediafire.com/listen/8uxv2dl86p8anxk/Lovers_OST_Karaoke.mp3No copyright infringement intended.

Skyrim: The Dragonborn Comes (Malukah Version) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-08-07 | I realize that this is a cover of a cover, but I really wanted to do something from Skyrim, one of my favorite games, and Malukah's cover of this in-game song is just stunning. Since my vocal style is quite different than Malukah's, I decided to try a bit of a different take on her arrangement in an attempt to make it suit my voice better. Instead of using a guitar for my backing, I used a piano and I also added a few extra vocal harmonies to the song. I also extended the dragon language verse and added an extra vocal bit for the closing Skyrim title. Hopefully, it worked out alright lol.I played the piano myself by using this tutorial by Xavi Tacons as a guide: youtube.com/watch?v=8CCAekmroHwI used the live action trailer for my video as well as some of the regular game trailer clips to fill in the gaps because the live action trailer was too short lol.YouTube messed up some of the audio during processing so if you noticed it, I'm sorry, I did try to fix it. It's gonna bug me forever -_- If you haven't heard Malukah's cover of this already, pleae PLEASE go listen to it. She makes mine sound like a big stinking pile o crap xD :youtube.com/watch?v=4z9TdDCWN7gNo copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit, it is for showcase only.

Tout Ce Que Je Sais (Sarah Brightman) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-07-25 | Before I say anything else, let me just apologize for any discrepancies and errors in my French pronunciation and in the lyrics themselves. I'm not the best at French and sometimes online lyrics can be a bit sketchy, so sorry if I got anything wrong.Anyways, I just finished a 3 week holiday with a friend and I was eager to record something quick so I decided on this little old favorite of mine from Sarah Brightman's Harem album. I decided to sing the French version as it's just such a lovely language to sing in. Also this song was written by Canadian composer Stephan Moccio, so yay for a Canadian song!The French version lyrics are actually quite different from the English ones so don't bother looking up the English lyrics. Here's the translation (roughly): Everything that you do not know of us twoEverything that you do not know about meI shall say to you everything that you wantAll that I know comes to me from youEverything that you do not know about loveEverything that you do not know in youI shall say to you everything foreverAll that I know you are without meEverything that you do not knowI shall say to you shall say shall say everythingEverything that you do not knowEverything what you do not know about my lifeEverything that you do not know about meI shall say to you everything that I amAll that I know it is that they will like themselvesEverything that you do not know about us twoAll the clips used in this video came from http://www.beachfrontbroll.com who supplies free to use stock footageNo copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit, it is for showcase only.

Let It Go (Kerry Ellis Version) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-06-13 | I know I know, before you say anything, I know the world is sick of Let It Go covers by now, but hear me out! I am absolutely in love with Kerry Ellis's version, I think maybe more than the original...gyah I have no words for her awesomeness, and I'm well aware I don't come close to her. The things that woman can do with her voice! Also, I meant to put this up for Christmas (yes CHRISTMAS x_x) but my editing computer suddenly died and I lost all my video sessions and the hard work I had put into this video. I just couldn't bring myself to start from scratch again until now so I gave up on it for a while.I'd also like to dedicate this song to one of my dearest friends, Pedro. You are amazing and mean so much to me! Don't let anyone or anything stand in the way of your dreams!!No copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit, it is for showcase only.

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again (Teddy Nasr Version) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-05-13 | **PLEASE READ FULL**Another insanely long gap between videos again, I'm sorry! I'm really going to try to upload covers more frequently now, as my schedule is starting to return to normal.So for those of you who haven't noticed, I love to do unique covers every now and then when I can. This usually happens when I either find the time to arrange my own instrumentals or I find a unique instrumental someone else has made. This case is the latter. Last week, I was doing a performance for an agent singing Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again and I needed to find a backing track to use. I did the usual YouTube search and came across this beautifully unique arrangement by Teddy Nasr. While I didn't use it for my performance (I dont think I would have been able to) I did decide that I wanted to record a cover to Teddy's arrangement for my YouTube channel. So, I bought the track and asked him for permission, and I'm thrilled and honored that he said yes!Teddy Nasr is an incredibe composer, arranger, and producer and has many instrumentals on his website which he has re-arranged, re-orchestrated, recorded, mixed and mastered. If you're interested in buying the track I used in this cover, or any of his other arrangements, you can go to http://www.teddynasrmusic.com, just make sure you read his website carefully when it comes to how to use his tracks. Additionally, you can visit his YouTube channel to hear samples of his arrangements: youtube.com/user/TNM991Snowing background courtesy of TheEsborn: youtube.com/channel/UC4nXnXUKc6oiDiXUHmiNzAgThis cover was made for showcase only, no profit is being made from this cover.

Good Enough (Evanescence) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-01-11 | This is a song I recorded a little while ago but didn't get around to finishing it (to those of you who requested it way back when, my apologies). I know it's not the best, but I just don't have the time at the moment to fine tune it. Hopefully you guys still enjoy it!I really liked the music video to this song but I didn't want it to come off as a dub, so I removed all the face shots of Amy singing and cut together the remaining clips.No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Jodies Suite (Beyond: Two Souls) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2015-01-02 | **PLEASE NOTE**This cover contains clips from the game Beyond: Two Souls. While I tried my best to use neutral clips, they may be considered spoilers. If you have not yet played this game and intend to do so, view at your own descretion.So with that out of the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! My first video of 2015, I hope it deserves the honour xDThis turned into a much bigger project than I anticipated. I originally just wanted to put up something quick but seeing as this isn't technically a vocal piece, there was no instrumental without the original vocals for me to use, so I had to create my own. I used Kontakt 5 with LA Strings, Philharmonik, and various sections from the original to create my backing. I also arranged in my own vocal harmonies and added an extra vocal verse so I could sing more in this piece.I realize that people either love or hate this game (for me personally, it is a huge favorite) but I mainly wanted to cover something from this game because I am absolutely in love with the soundtrack (Thank you Lorne Balfe and Hans Zimmer!!) So hopefuly you all enjoy it whether you love or hate the game, or even if you aren't a gamer, because the score is just magnificent.

Walking In The Air (The Snowman) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-12-16 | Sorry it's been a while, I've been sick with that lovely annual Christmas bug. This was a song that mundee23 requested me to sing like... 2 years ago hah. Well, better late than never I suppose. The video doesn't quite sync up with the song the way the original does, but that's because my cover is at a different tempo than the original. Hope no one minds.For anyone interested in the backing track I used, it was done by The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra which I purchased from iTunes. All the vocal harmonies were arranged by myself. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

When I Am Laid In Earth (Remembrance Day Tribute) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-11-09 | I know it's not the 11th yet, but it is Remembrance Sunday here in the UK so I thought I would upload this today. If you've been subscribed to me since I first started on YouTube or have taken the time to go through my videos, you've probably noticed that I have done Remembrance Day videos for Canadian, American, and British forces, both for personal reasons and out of general respect and gratitude. This time, I decided to do something a little bit different for my tribute video and make it more generalized. I recently watched a World War 2 movie that did something most war movies don't do. It strongly portrayed the human element of war on both sides and that's something that I really felt was important. It can be easy for people to overlook the staggering loss of overall human life and I wanted to try to emphasize that. I wanted to do a video that didn't just convey thanks to those who served but one that showed the gravity of sorrow for so many lives lost. I'm not sure such a song exists, but I wanted to try to get close. The song I used is When I Am Laid In Earth (Sometimes called Dido's Lament) from Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas. I was a bit unsure if using it was appropriate for a Remembrance Day tribute but then I realised that not only was it used in the HBO's Band Of Brothers series, but it has also been played for many Remembrance Sunday ceremonies in the UK over the years in which the Royal Family pay tribute. So if it's good enough for the Royal Family, it's good enough for me!I decided to use the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra's version of this piece as my backing because it was so much more powerful and moving than any other instrumental I could find, although I did have to modify it to include the last repeat and to be in the key I preferred.No copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit it is for showcase only.

Come Little Children (Hocus Pocus) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-10-31 | Happy Halloween everyone!! This is another last minute song I threw together from one of my favourite childhood movies: Hocus Pocus! Thanks to Amanda Marie for the instrumental, if anyone else is interested in it, you can find it here in her video description: youtube.com/watch?v=k5d8AD-3-psI used the lyrics from the poem that the song was allegedly derived from, but apparently no one knows who actually wrote the poem. Here are the lyrics for anyone interested (or anyone who can't understand what I'm mumbling lol):Come little children, I'll take thee awayInto a land of enchantmentCome little childrenThe time's come to playHere in my garden of magic...Follow sweet children, I'll show thee the wayThrough all the pain and the sorrowsWeep not poor childrenFor life is this wayMurdering beauty and passions...Hush now dear children, it must be this wayTo weary of life and deceptionsRest now my children For soon we'll awayInto the calm and the quiet...Come little children, I'll take thee awayInto a land of enchantmentCome little childrenThe time's come to playHere in my garden of shadows...All vocals in this cover were sung and arranged by me.No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Bring Me To Life (Katherine Jenkins Classical Version) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-10-27 | So I know a lot of you have personally requested a classical cover next and... this is totally not it lol. I came across Katherine Jenkin's version of this while searching for something else and just decided to do it randomly. I wouldn't particularly say this is a classical song, but it's definitely more so than the original haha. I do have REAL classical, all out opera song, planned next, so don't be too disappointed. Also, for the people who were expecting a regular Evanescence cover like I usually do... sorry!!No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

First Date/Last Night (Dogfight The Musical) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck and Chance Bemmer Kendra 2014-10-17 | Whoa, two videos in one day? What's going on?! Mundee23 is back that's what's going on! Words cannot express how excited I am to be singing with him again and this one is a special one for us. We recently got to see Dogfight in London at the Southwark Playhouse and it quickly became our favourite musical of the year. We absolutely loved this show and we were so sad to see it close, so here's our tribute!Go check out Chance's channel here and give him a sub ;)youtube.com/user/mundee23No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

Shatter Me (Lindsey Stirling & Lzzy Hale) [Dubstep] - Vocal cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-10-16 | It's been a while since I've done something upbeat, so what better thing to do than sling some dubstep at you all and hope you enjoy it? lol...Lindsey Stirling is one of my favourite musicians and since I am not exactly an epic violinist like she is, I can't really cover any of her songs. This is the closest I can get, and I'm actually pretty disappointed that I couldn't make the violin in my backing track louder. I'm also no Lzzy Hale, but I did have fun singing this!Lyrics:I pirouette in the darkI see the stars through meTired mechanical heartBeats til the song disappearsSomebody shine a lightI'm frozen by the fear in meSomebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter meSo cut me from the lineDizzy, spinning endlesslySomebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter me!Shatter me!Somebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter me!If only the clockwork could speakI wouldn't be so aloneWe burn every magnet and springAnd spiral into the unknownSomebody shine a lightI'm frozen by the fear in meSomebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter meSo cut me from the lineI'm dizzy, spinning endlesslySomebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter me!Shatter me!Somebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter me!If I break the glass, then I'll have to flyThere's no one to catch me if I take a diveI'm scared of changing, the days stay the sameThe world is spinning but only in greyIf I break the glass, then I'll have to flyThere's no one to catch me if I take a diveI'm scared of changing, the days stay the sameThe world is spinning but only in greySomebody shine a lightI'm frozen by the fear in meSomebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter meSo cut me from the lineI'm dizzy, spinning endlesslySomebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter me!Shatter me!Somebody make me feel aliveAnd shatter me!No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only.

I See Fire (Ed Sheeran) - Female Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-08-24 | Please note, this cover contains spoiler clips from The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug. View at your own discretionI've wanted to do a female cover of this song for a long time because I really love it, but I just didn't feel like I could do a decent job until recently. I didn't feel my voice was well suited to the original arrangement, so I waited until I could find a good piano accompaniment to sing to (I purchased it from Sing2Piano for anyone who is interested, huge thanks to them). I also decided to practice my editing skills while I was at it and make my own little music video because it felt a bit too simple on it's own. Hope you all like it!No copyright infringement intended, this is not for profit, it is for showcase only. I claim to own nothing but my voice.http://www.kendramasonchuck.com
Let Me Go (Avril Lavigne) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-08-01 | ***PLEASE READ***I actually did this song aaaages ago but at the time, Frozen had just come out so I decided not to upload it because of a certain other song from Frozen with a similar title *cough*. I figured I'd get a bazillion dislikes because Let It Go was in such high demand back then and people would be disappointed it wasn't that song lol.This is a really special song for me, not because of the song itself, but because I created the instrumental myself and I'm really proud of it. The only part of the instrumental I didn't do myself was the piano which was an accompaniment track I purchased from Sing2Piano, which I built the rest of the instrumental around. I used LA Strings on Protools 9 to create all the stringed instruments, which is basically what the entire song is made of. I found a live orchestral version of Avril singing which I drew my inspiration from, listening incessantly to the track over and over again in order to learn each individual string part of the instrumental and also improvising on some others.No copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit, it is for showcase only.

The Little Horses (Charlotte Church) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-05-15 | I came across this backing track on iTunes while looking for another backing track and just couldn't resist. My mom bought me Charlotte Church's Enchantment CD when I was younger and it's the only album of hers I've ever owned so I listened to it quite a lot. I really like this arrangement of a song I already loved anyways. I can't remember what it actually says on the back of the CD case, because I don't have it anymore, but I believe that it's just titled "The Little Horses" instead of the usual "All The Pretty Little Horses" or "All The Pretty Horses."

The Girl In 14G - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-05-12 | This month I had the incredible experience of getting to sing for the amazing Sierra Boggess for a masterclass and this is the song I chose. The feedback I got was invaluable and inspirational so I tried to apply her amazing advice to my song so I could do the best cover I could.I also tried to make this song as unique to myself as possible, not trying to cover one particular person (especially Kristen Chenoweth lol) even though I did watch many many MANY different performances of this song to draw inspiration from.I honestly don't know why I haven't done this song sooner, but now I'm glad I didn't. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did singing it for Sierra, and since the masterclass wasn't allowed to be recorded, here's a couple pictures from the day!http://goo.gl/djxPi4http://goo.gl/Fci3Uthttp://goo.gl/QizzRMI purchased the backing track from http://www.karaoke-version.co.uk for anyone who's interested.No copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit, it is for showcase only.

I Remember (Deadmau5/Kaskade) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-03-27 | I know this is quite different from what I usually upload but the main focus of this cover isn't vocal showcase. I wanted to experiment with vocal processing/effects and to play around with footage editing: two things I don't really have experience in. I had no idea (still don't) what effects were put on the original vocals so it was a lot of messing around with different plugins. Even though in the end my vocals wound up having a completely different sound to them, I kind of ended up liking the result.The footgage in this video was free-to-use stock video footage I collected from http://www.videvo.net and http://www.beachfrontbroll.com. For anyone wondering, I didn't do anything to the instrumental. There are several different versions of this song and this was the particular mix I used: youtube.com/watch?v=oF418KjhwqMNo copyright infringement intended, this was not made for profit, nor is it intended to be used for profit, it is for demo purposes only.

Let It Go (Frozen) - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2014-02-16 | [UPDATE] My amazing friend RedyyChuu put together a video of my cover with the official movie clip. I didn't think YouTube would let me upload it because of how strict it is with copyright material, so I've uploaded it to Vimeo instead if anyone wants to see it: vimeo.com/86955343 Thank you Redy!!!I was inspired by Willemijn Verkaik's versions of this when learning and exploring this song. Not that I don't like Idina, but vocally and stylistically I feel more drawn to Willemijn and after seeing her perform live, I'm hugely inspired by her.Huge thanks to mundee23 for helping me master this, I am so not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to mixing so thank you for making this sound so much better than I ever could have!

Silent Night - Cover by Kendra Masonchuck and Amy Wallace Kendra 2013-12-24 | Merry Christmas everyone! I'm very thrilled and honoured to be able to sing this song with my good and talented friend Amy. Sorry this is a bit late, we really wanted to sing a Christmas duet together, but we both got really busy at the last minute. Thankfully we did it in the end!I'm singing the melody for the first verse and then Amy takes the melody for the second verse, just in case anyone was wondering. For anyone wondering, I modified the instrumental from one I found on YouTube You can subscribe to Amy's channel Here: (http://www.youtube.com/user/MsWallaceAmy) as well as check out her website below:http://www.amywallacesoprano.comhttp://www.kendramasonchuck.com
The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze (The Mikado) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2013-12-01 | I decided I needed to expand my Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire so I thought I'd start off with a lovely Mikado piece. I found a whole slew of G&S instrumentals on iTunes so you'll probably see more from me in upcoming videos. If anyone is interested in this instrumental or any other G&S instrumental tracks, I got it from here: itunes.apple.com/gb/album/karaoke-opera-gilbert-sullivan/id321551002I claim to own nothing but my voice.

Lost In Paradise (Evanescence) - Cover By Kendra Masonchuck Kendra 2013-11-18 | Evanescence seems to be the most requested material for me to cover at the moment so I decided to do one my friend suggested to me while I was in Canada. I wanted to do something a little different from the original as I personally wished the song kept the mood and feel it had during the beginning, so I searched for an orchestral version to sing to instead.Credit to the instrumental goes to the incredibly talented Daniel Harle who created this beautiful arrangement himself.
