The people who know me well know that they should never watch Sister Act and Sister Act 2 with me. Unless of course they are prepared for me to also burst out singing every slightly musical part from the movie. It's physically impossible for me not to. So I have a fun story that pertains kind of to this video. In the middle of the song you can see that should makes them do an exercise that immediately changes their sound for the better which seems like of load of crap to non-musical types. But we would do something like that when we were in choir. One day our teacher had a guest there, someone who is involved with a different musical group, and he listened to us sing a bit of a song. We sounded alright but nothing special. So then our teacher has us do a warm up in different voice levels (elementary school choir, middle school choir, high school choir, college choir). Keep in mind we're high school students at this point. We get to the college choir level and then she makes us restart the song and the change was palpable. The guest seemed super impressed by it. A lot of singing has to do with your mindset, and that's what you see here. They had done that warm up so much that it calmed their nerves and instinctively reminded them how to perform correctly. I love it.
Peace.
