Stack a crew

Two of you: first your answers to Blow the Man Down, then a part under them, sung over your own first take.

First the answers. Then the part under them

Hear yourself. Your first take sings with you; stop if anything tightens or hurts

Headphones on. Through a speaker, the crew rests while you sing

What you sing

  1. Your answers first.
  2. Now the part under them, over your answers.

Challenge: Your crew

Your own crew, kept as a song: your chorus, then the part under it, sung over your own chorus. First, your answer from lesson 1, beside today's.

Two of you. The answer, then the part under it

Kept as a song. Play it back any time; stop if anything tightens or hurts

Headphones on. Through a speaker, the crew rests while you sing

What you sing

  1. The verse from the shantyman, then your chorus.
  2. The part, over your chorus.

Singing safely

As big as you could keep up for the whole song, never shouted: a shout has no pitch, so it can't be scored. Pull with your body, not your throat. Stop if anything tightens or hurts.
