"Sugar n' Spice"

"No one can arrive from being talented alone; work transforms talent into genius." -Anna Pavlova

SUGAR:
Another recipe mastered! Sugar cookies are curious little devils; even though they look like they're not cooked all the way, if you leave them in until they look ready, they'll burn. My first batch turned out... not so great. But the second batch was astonishingly delicious! (Not that I ate the whole batch, or anything... *sly grin*)

SPICE:
I'm working on an a cappella version of "Sally's Song" (from The Nightmare Before Christmas.The structures I'm working on are:

1. Alto range
2. Perfect pitch
3. "Gruff" or "husky" voice (I've been trained to make my voice sound "sweet", so this'll be fun!)



Here's a clippit of a rough run (definitely not the final version.) Any coaching points you can think of would be appreciated. It's hard to make a single-range a cappella demo exciting!
