This week, I sing from memory, “When the Man Comes Around,” by Johnny Cash.

Focusing on Vowels
As I’m studying vocal technique, I’m enjoying hearing a few new aspects of words. It’s hard to articulate what specifically is happening, as I do not yet have the necessary training and vocabulary. Perhaps, there’s a drawl in the way I say words that have a ‘t’ and ‘a’ sound right next to each other. The way my pronunciation of the letter ‘r’ is also coarse. When I sing, I can hear certain words as being out of tune and in need of rhythm.
Artificial Intelligence Transparency Report
No artificial intelligence was used for the writing or performing portion of this blog post.
I used Google’s Gemini AI to help me create and manage my sql database for tracking relevant data. For example, I used Google Gemini to write a script that exports my singing data records from my custom PostgreSQL database and format the data as an HTML table.
