Chapter 10~Taking One Step Forward

            ||The Next Day…

-- Class 1A –

JYP:

*Explaining* So remember this technique when singing. It could help you with your vocal test next week.

Krystal:

*Daydreaming*

Jiyeon:

*Looks over* *Whispers* Yah! Krystal. Are you listening?

JYP:

*Hears someone talking* *Turns around* Who was that?

*The class stays silent*

JYP:

*Looks around and notices Krystal daydreaming* yah. Jung Krystal.

Krystal:

*Still in the middle of daydreaming*

Jiyeon:

*Elbows Krystal* *Whispers* he’s talking to you.

Krystal:

*Wakes up for her daydream and comes back to reality* *Sits up and confusingly looks around* What’s happening?

Baekyun:

*Whispers to Suho* Do you think she was thinking about…

Suho:

*Cuts him off* Shh. It’s not relevant to talk about that in class.

D.O:

*Curious* *Turns to Sehun* what were they talking about?

Sehun:

*Sighs* She might not look like it but she has a really pitiful background.

D.O:

*Jokes* She’s pitiful? How about me who is stuck here with you guys for an extra 3 years until debut?

Sehun:

Stop joking around…

Baekhyun:

Hey, Kai. Why are you so silent? This isn’t like you.

Kai:

It’s none of your business. *Turns and looks over at Krystal* (Looks like she couldn’t get any sleep last night….)

JYP:

Krystal. *Taps his ruler onto the board* can you tell me what singing technique this is….

Krystal:

…..This…technique……

*The girls feel nervous for Krystal*

JYP:

*Starts writing Krystal’s name on the board* Then you’re staying back afterschool tod…..

Krystal:

..Vibrato...

JYP:

*Stops writing on the board and turns around in amazement* What did you say?

Krystal:

If I remember it correctly….It should be the Vibrato technique….conjoined with tremolo.

[Note: Vibrato and tremolo are real singing techniques with vibrato as the “Periodic variation in the pitch” in other words frequency and tremolo being the “Periodic variation in volume” aka amplitude in a musical note. >Source: Wikipedia-researched and re-written text.]

*Everyone focuses at Krystal*

JYP:

*Points on the board* How about this?...

Krystal:

*Looks on the board*  um…I think it is the Falsetto technique. *Looks at PJYP unconfidently* …did I get it wrong this time?...

[Note: The Falsetto technique is the vocal register occupying the frequency range just above the modal voice register and overlapping with it by approximately one octave. >Source Wikipedia-re-written text]

JYP:

*Silently looks away and continues with the lesson*

Luna:

Woah! Krystal. Where did you learn all that?

Krystal:

I can’t really remember. I boy I used to know when I was younger taught me that.

Jiyeon:

A boy? Why didn’t you ever tell me about it?

Krystal:

*Chuckles* Jiyeon-ah, I didn’t even know you back then. But why did you all look so surprised? Do I seem that clueless? *Laughs*

Victoria:

We didn’t even learn about those techniques yet. When YP Sunbaenim asked you that, it was a trick question. He expected you to tell him that he hadn’t
