I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

Chapter 72

72 – 15 years old (27)

After the 2nd contest song and members were all decided and individual interviews with some of the contestants were completed.

My group went into the room assigned by the production team to prepare for and practice for the second contest in earnest, and sat facing the staff and the camera.

And the three people sitting next to me.

Hana sister.

Harang sister.

Sera’s older sister.

-Hey Dohee~ I’m here~

Sarah, who met her eyes and smiled, eventually joined our group.

Yes, that’s how a super team made up of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th ranks was born.

With a super team like this, the moment they fail, the aftermath will come.

Everyone was smiling as if they weren’t worried.

Well, it’s not easy to be a member of this group…

“Then, shall we start by distributing the parts?”

Among us, Hana, the eldest, has been appointed as the leader.

I gave up on being a leader early on.

No, I had no intention of doing it in the first place.

I have to try anyway, since the PD decided on my image, it’s obvious that I’ll be edited as the hardworking maknae.

“Then Harangi is a rapper, right?”

The only rapper Harang unni.

There was no one else to do.

“Yap~”

All that’s left is three vocalists.

This song didn’t have a main vocal if I had to ask.

It’s not that there are no high notes.

Treble part that can show singing ability.

There were about two bars.

But the important thing in this song is the killing part of the chorus.

In other words, it was a part that caught the attention of viewers and a point that could save charm.

There were usually two types of songs that have been loved by the public for a long time.

With an incredibly addictive refrain.

Or if the killing part is strong.

Among them, this song had an attractive chorus and a killing part that included both cases.

“Do you have any parts you want to do?”

Fortunately, both Hana and Sera are greedy not only for killing parts but also for high notes.

Since there are 3 vocalists, each of them has enough parts to take on, so I wonder if I can do the killing part if I calm them down by giving high notes…?

However, there is an important priority before choosing a part.

Arranged right away.

“Why don’t we come up with an arrangement concept first before sharing our vocal parts?”

First of all, depending on how the arrangement was made, there could be missing parts or new parts.

“Harang unnie’s rap part is also short, so I think I’ll have to pick one and put it in.”

Secondly, the amount of rap parts in ‘FATAL’ was not large.

In other words, if the vocal parts were distributed in advance, it was ambiguous to choose a rap part to give to Harang unnie later.

Hana nodded as if she thought it was the right thing to say.

“Our maknae is smart. Then listen to the original song again, and it’s okay if it’s a simple idea, so let’s talk about anything that comes to mind.”

Hana unnie played the original stage video on the tablet PC she had just received.

-Your eyes (look me look …

In my opinion, the characteristic of this song is a song with a groovy swing rhythm.

The acoustic guitar sound and the unique sound of the synthesizer met with the powerful end notes of the original singers to give a strong image.

Some ideas popping into my head.

A few of them were points that I devised from the moment I picked this song.

After the video, I raised my hand.

“Sisters, how about doing this in an R&B style?”

‘FATAL’ is a song with a fast beat and strong images.

In other words, it was a fun dance song.

But the mission we have to do is vocal & rap positions.

“Since we are in charge of vocal & rap positions this time, I think R&B can save vocals and rap rather than fast beats.”

My older sister Harang agreed with me by spitting out exclamations.

“Oh~ I admit it. I think it would be really good. Then how about the concept? I just thought of it, but if you change it to R&B, it will feel a little softer? So, the concept also goes from the strong masculine charm of the original song to the gentle and subtle seduction feeling. .”

Hmm… That’s right.

When the genre changes, the mood of the song itself changes.

In other words, the concept also needs to be changed.

It’s a little disappointing.

I wanted a manly concept…

Sarah also raised her hand and shared her ideas.

“Then I want to put some shoe sounds in this part of ‘look me look me’. It’s coming.”

Shoes.

I remembered that I really liked the outfit.

“Then, how about we wear suits and shoes?”

Hana unnie jumped up and down and got excited.

“It’s great! Then I do that with my stage outfit and stand in front of a stand microphone and sing. Then, from the verse 1 chorus, I separate the microphone and lightly dance the point choreography. What do you think?”

Once we decided on a direction for the arrangement, ideas came out like a flood in a chain.

“I also have something else I want to do.”

And another idea from the very beginning of song selection.

“What is it?”

Hana asked curiously, but I lifted her hips off the floor and sat down on a chair in front of the piano in the corner of the room.

“I’ll show you first.”

I played the piano and reproduced the original song I heard earlier.

“How do you play without sheet music? Have you played before?”

Hana said as if she was puzzled.

Yeah, come to think of it, it’s one of the moments I’ve been dreaming of for a long time.

Going on air and boasting about absolute pitch.

Big…

The first thing I learned about my absolute pitch was a vocal class with teacher Kwon.

I was able to immediately play a song I had heard once.

Sensei Kwon was surprised when he saw me like this and praised me for having absolute pitch.

What I didn’t have when I was 5 years old, looking at what I got later on, I think it’s because of the piano practice I’ve been repeating every day rather than being born.

“No, try it for the first time today.”

“Huh, then you’re going to play right away with what you’ve just heard?”

“Wow… Awesome. Genius.”

From noble mtl dot com.

“Dohee… Cute.”

Though Sera’s last words were a little harsh.

Anyway, what kind of comments will be made when it goes on air… Big.

“Ah, it’s nothing~”

I calmly waved my hand as if it was nothing.

Haa… Lee Do-hee is so chic.

You are the best.

You are so cool.

Crazy.

“You really like that kind of thing, don’t you?”

Although Harang unni did not care about the pack width.

She pretended not to be for the time being and said to Sera.

“Can you sing ‘Fatal’ to my performance?”

“Yeah, okay.”

But can’t you like it a bit?

It’s weird to hate.

Sarah stood next to me and cleared her throat.

“I’ll go up 5 keys. Is that okay?”

“Yes.”

Average The average difference in vocal range between a woman and a man is 5 keys.

For ‘FATAL’, the male millipede had to be raised 5 keys.

I started playing 5 keys higher than the original.

-Your eyes…

With my accompaniment, Sera unnie gave a clear voice.

The song flows like that, and before you know it, the last high-pitched part, the chorus, and the killing part.

The highest note of the original song is G#4.

And when I went up 5 keys, the highest note was E#5.

The highest notes of a typical female who is not a vocalist are usually C5~D5.

“Fatal love, my heart that cannot be hidden.”

However, my sister digested the notes without any problems.

The chorus continues again.

‘Fatal love, your heart that cannot be hidden.’

This time, the progression of the performance was changed to the left-hand root note of the piano.

Then she closed her vocal chords and opened her mouth to build harmony in her sister’s voice.

“Fatal love, you can’t hide your heart~”

“Fatal love, your heart that cannot be hidden.”

The harmony I built was close to the original height.

So to speak, my voice is alto.

Sera’s voice was a soprano.

My alto wasn’t as low as that of a professional female vocalist, but I was more confident than any of the trainees in producing the mastery of the low notes.

After the song.

“How about this? It would be nice to build up the harmony in some parts like this.”

Let’s look at the side indifferently. Hana and Harang look at me with their eyes wide open.

“Wow… Great! Awesome!”

“Admit it…!”

Involuntarily, the corners of his mouth go up.

I did a V for the camera.

But this wasn’t the end.

The voice of Hana, who will be the mezzo-soprano between me, an alto, and Sarah, a soprano.

Continuing background vocals by Harang unnie.

This was the R&B direction I was thinking of.

***

Arrangement meeting.

All we can decide is the concept, direction and elements.

Since the music director and the arranger teacher have practical arranging skills, we had to convey our opinions at the arranging meeting.

Hana, the leader, answered the music director’s question.

“We want to arrange it to have an R&B feel. And, unlike the original song, with a subtle seductive concept.”

The music director thought about it before opening his mouth.

“Yes, I think I got the concept well. Do you have anything else in mind?”

There are quite a few…

Hana unnie went to the music director and showed the written lyrics.

“First of all, I wish there was a shoe sound here… Here, here and here, Mars should be in, and the height should be raised by 5 keys, and at the very beginning…”

At first, the music director and the arranger listened happily.

As our demands increased, his face hardened as if embarrassed.

Of course, it’s not our business.

Work. Work.

***

While practicing for the second contest was in full swing, the production team called the trainees in turn.

In the middle of a room surrounded by cameras.

There was a lottery on the desk.

It seemed like a new self PR video.

“Can I pick just one?”

“Yes, all of them are the opinions of the chuseo who selected trainee Lee Do-hee, so you can pick one from there!”

Voice of a lively female staff member.
