VoxWave and ALYS : My experience as a lyricist
Do you know ALYS, the first frenchspeaking virtual singer? If you're not into japanese pop culture then there isn't the slightest chance.
Well, I know her. I've always been really interested in that kind of technology, because of the exceptional social phenomenon it created. Just imagine, thousands and thousands of artists all around the world creating together, without any borders! I love that.
Well, friends of mine decided have to found a society called VoxWave and to produce the first frenchpseaking virtual muse : ALYS. Their project is focused on the cultural and artistic branch of the virtual singers that I loved, so I proposed to help them. Soon, I became a lyricist for them and part of their closest crew.
Writing lyrics was so complicated! I've been an amateur writer for years and thought it would be like writing a poem. I was so wrong. When you write lyrics, you have to think about... The music! It's not as obvious as it seems.
Each word is important. You have to respect the rythm, the strong times, the pronunciation of each word have to recreate the melody even in acapella. And I wasn't used to that at all. My first try was a really poetic an lyric, but for a song it was useless. I was so happy with it that when the compositor told me he couldn't use them I almost cried. In the begining beginning, I didn't see the problem so I tried to sing my lyrics by myself, with the music but I couldn't.
The syllables didn't respect the melody enough so it was almost impossible to respect the text while singing. So I learned to write while listening to the music or humming the words I use slowly.
Now, I'm even prouder of the new lyrics I gave them because being a lyricist is such a challenge!You're English is amazing! Despite a few grammatical errors, you have a bigger vocabulary than a lot of my (American) friends do when they write.

Today I have been working on a proposal for a customer. My customer has opened a new restaurant and he needs to promote his brand to get a lot of customers.
My proposal consists of an online marketing strategy to position his brand in search engines and to increase his presence in social networks.
Now, I have finished my proposal and it is time to rest from work and to continue with my English learning.0 votedApril 21, 20151The future job
Everyone has our own dream job, and I am not an exception. When I was young, I dreamt of being a teacher, an engineer, or a policeman to save the world. After a long time trying to make up my mind, I realized my true calling is being a doctor. First of all, being a doctor is a chance for me to help all the people having health problems, which is also my long-cherished dream. Helping one person does not only give me the feeling of satisfaction but also is a way to contribute to the society where I was born and bred. In addition, it can not be denied that doing what you are fond of will make better results, because it makes you feel more comfortable, especially more responsible at work. Finally, I'll try my best to improve treatments which are not only cheaper but also more effective so that everyone can be cured without worrying about medical costs. In conclusion, a doctor is what I want to be, and I'll make a great effort to make that come true.

I think I wouldn't recommend this novel, because it is so long and the font number is too small. When you need to choose a novel you should have in mind several things like vocabulary, and length. Take a look, think if you understand that vocabulary, and take a look about its print size as well. This last is very important even though it looks like a silly problem. When you read more than 1 chapter you can’t continue because you have a headache or you pain your eyes. It is very important to choose correctly because the goal is that you finish the novel and don’t give up quickly. So, these are some of things to keep in mind when you choose a novel to read.
Conclusion: Is this a good conclusion?
If you are learning a second language don’t hesitate to read a book. It will help you even though you don’t want to read it. It is a hard job but it gives you a lot of satisfaction, and you will have more confidence in yourself.0 votedApril 21, 20151
