Bruno Mars “Locked out of Heaven” (old clip from me) for Catalin Catana

Catalin, here's that clip. This was recorded about November of last year I think (the talking in the background is Chris Liepe and Andy Cizek.)  I was starting to "improve" a little more at this time and was starting to stick my heels in the sand in terms of how serious I was getting.   I was determined to get better.  The point of the exercise was to I think belt a bit and then also have a more open sound...but you'll hear the "for too long" with an emphasis on the chords closing (almost a pop) or like "gulp" for the "oh ooooh"  that is intentional and what the main point was for the exercise.  It was to be free but be able to also I think close your chords.  


This is pre M2 thought process as a focus for me.  Around this time I started having theories based on several things I'd observed and then heard...and was feeling like for me to get the sounds I wanted with the ease I wanted...belting and pulling chest was not going to be the answer so here we are now exploring M2 as a primary vocal function...anyway.  I hope this gives you a little insight Catalin and you could maybe try the exercise for a few days and post an example and I can check it out.

Catalin quick heads up.  This sits on a brutal part of the range D4, E4 A4, then A#4...it's right in-between vocal mechanisms which is more likely why they chose it as an exercise...so do NOT get frustrated if it's very hard or even impossible (right now).  Be sure to relax and just try to copy any sounds you CAN do...you can always build out from there.  I liked where you were headed with Marc's exercises so that might even be a better path...go with your instincts.
