Allbest at your gig! I went to an open mic a week ago to support some friends. I brought no instrument, but one friend who knew I performed years ago offered me his guitar and put me on "the list." I played three songs that I'd never done in public. It was . . . exciting? . . . definitely intriguing ♪♫
Thank you so much! I think it will be cycling through my head all day. Should be able to nail down that second verse and have a go at it again in no time! 😊
Spiralling. I stood across from the silent yet groping Call the Office yesterday waiting for train station to open at 5:30 AM in -22C. Layered up in an attempt at warmth I thought to myself- wish I saw Jacqueline Rendell play there! Today I wake to this! Fire. Thank you for being-here!
Were you a torch singer in a past life? That was amazing! I have no doubt you’ll knock out that 2nd verse.
With that voice of yours you might try twinning (2 copies of your vocals, or more). Now have fun. Keep both, but time shift the second slightly. Make one an octave lower or higher. Add more vocal copies for moments that swell, crash then recede like waves.
Think about sculpting the sound. You sculpt your voice naturally. It’s a different way to approach things. Think about the overall piece in terms of major ebbs and flows. When I can’t get out of my own way, this gives me a different way to think about my composition.
I hope any of that gives you inspiration for your next piece.
Honestly, I tend to record TOO MANY vocals as harmony is my favourite thing in the whole entire world. However I've never tried twinning. And I'm eager to give it a go!!! 🤍
Yes! Strings are perfect. Does your violin player play fiddle? Could be interesting. An alternating line with a cello would be lovely. Think two swooping lines coiling and uncoiling. I’ll leave you alone now.
Oh! This was a stunning listen! Your voice is gorgeous. I love the lyrics and the simplicity of the music (the way you can hear and savor it but it doesn’t overpower your vocals, if that makes sense) good luck at your performance!
I so appreciate you taking the time to listen, sister! 🎵🙏 I am just now going through my set list. And I think I've nailed down the second verse so I can perform this song in full today! 😉
Its Sunday and Im hoping your gig is going awesome beautiful lady! Randy and I love everything about your new song! Your magical voice, lyrics meaning. Heaven in music! Beautiful Jacqueline! ✨🤗💜🎵

Sister, thank you!!
I love all that you've suggested here. 🙏

Next thing you know, you’ll be using drones and drone harmonies. I will be able to say I knew you when….
ha!!
You know what I'm hearing on this? Strings. Luckily I know an incredible violin player. ;)

Thank you so much for listening! I appreciate the positive feedback. I'm glad you're here, too! 😊
