When you choose a song that you'd like to sing a cappella, you'll need to listen to it thoroughly to truly understand everything that's happening in it. Listen to it multiple times, getting a feel for the lyrics, rhythm, and different instruments that all make up the song. Starting with a simple song you know by heart will make it easier to arrange. Look online for the song without instruments by searching for the name of the song plus "vocals only." Most songs have long instrumental solos or parts that just don't work when you're singing it a cappella. Decide which parts of the song you're going to cut and which you're going to keep, making sure you string the sections together so that they flow smoothly. If you need help doing this, look up videos of other people's a cappella arrangements to see how they condensed the original song. It's helpful if you cut up the actual song using a computer system so that you're able to play it over and over again once it's condensed. This includes the solo and all the verses you'll be including in the song. If you're able to read and write music well, write out the notes for the bass as well as any other instruments you're hoping to include in the arrangement. You may need to experiment with several different versions of your arrangement until you discover one you like. If you can't write sheet music, use a computer system to split up the different levels of the song so you can arrange it that way. If you aren't experienced with arranging music, look online for an a cappella arrangement for the song you want to sing. Your sound is your main priority, but spend effort on other visual aspects such as facial expressions and choreography. Once you're satisfied with your singing, work on the movements you'll be doing onstage (if any) and on expressing the song through your facial expressions as well. All dancing should be well-practiced and fit the song's theme a quiet heartbreak song might do well with you standing still, while an upbeat song can have dance moves incorporated. Use your face to express the emotion in the song. If you have lots of energy and grin during a happy, upbeat song and look serious and sorrowful during a sad song, the crowd will take you much more seriously.

Summary: Listen to the original song carefully beforehand. Condense the song to fit in a cappella format. Write out the lyrics and musical factors that make up the arrangement. Hone your performance.

You can be in Natural Stance, shizentai, but you can also be in the lower, horse riding stance, kiba-dachi. Confirm your legs are the correct distance. For Natural Stance your legs should be shoulder width apart. Keep your legs loose, ensure knees are soft/not locked. Your fist should be nesting against your side. Your body should be slightly relaxed but ready and focusing on the target. You should choose one of two targets. If you want to punch to the body, chuudan, aim for just below the ribs, called the solar plexus. If you want to punch to the face, jodan, aim for the face. For safety, or if you feel you lack control, your instructor may ask you to aim just below the face rather than at the face. Note punching at other parts of the body is not as effective. If you are not practicing with a partner, imagine an opponent of your size in front of you. Imagine a straight line from your fist to your centerline. Keep you elbows in to keep the punch straight. The elbow should brush against your side. Keep somewhat loose during the punch, until the very end. If you are practicing with a person, "connect" means, you stop just before actually hitting them. If you are using a target, such as a makiwara, you of course want to actually hit it. Turn your fist over so the palm is now facing down. Tighten your muscles as you land the punch. Ensure you are tightening not just your fist and arm, but your buttock, legs and hips. Exhale. If you want, Kiai. If you are advanced, add the hip vibration technique to maximize your power. Keep focus, do not go floppy.

Summary: Position yourself in a comfortable stance. Close your fist and bring it to your hips, palm up. Punch completely straight. Connect with your target. Repeat, or return to your starting position.

Keeping Norwegian forest cat in peak physical condition requires some high-quality cat food. Take care to choose a high-quality cat foot that will meet all of your Norwegian forest cat's nutritional needs. One good way to select a food for your cat is to read the ingredients. The first two ingredients listed on the package should be meat (not meat by-products). If they are not, then keep looking. Choose a food that contains taurine. Taurine is an essential amino acid that your cat needs for good vision and heart health. All high-quality cat foods should include this ingredient, so avoid any cat foods that do not contain taurine. Free-feeding is when you allow your cat to have access to unlimited food. This way of feeding causes some cats to become overweight, so it is not the best method. Instead, feed your Norwegian forest cat a measured amount on a regular schedule. To determine how much to feed your Norwegian forest cat, take the daily recommended feeding amount on your cat's food package and then divide this amount in half. For a cat that weighs between five and nine pounds, you may need to provide a daily amount of 2/3 of a cup. To divide this amount into two meals, give your Norwegian forest cat 1/3 of a cup in the morning and 1/3 of a cup at night. Providing small portions will make it more likely that your cat will eat her food. Check with your Norwegian forest cat's veterinarian for a specific recommendation on how much to feed your cat. Your Norwegian forest cat will need to have a bowl of fresh, clean water available at all times. Wash your cat's water bowl daily and change the water once per day or as needed. Your cat's food and water bowls should be placed somewhere that is easy for your cat to access. Never place food and water bowls near your cat's litter box. Cats do not like to eat and drink near their litter boxes. Norwegian forest cats like treats like all cats do, so try to give your Norwegian forest cat a special treat once per day. You can buy special kitty treats in the grocery store or pet store. You might also try giving your cat some acceptable human foods as a treat. Remember that treats should not exceed 5% of your Norwegian forest cat's total daily calories. Some good treat options include: lean deli meat cooked chicken or turkey canned tuna cantaloupe chunks steamed broccoli cheese cooked eggs mashed potatoes homemade tuna cat treats

Summary: Select a high-quality cat food. Feed your Norwegian forest cat two measured meals per day. Provide lots of fresh, clean water for your Norwegian forest cat. Give your Norwegian forest cat treats.

Any round object will work. You can use a round glass, the bottom of a candle, or a circular piece of paper. Just make sure the rounded edge is smooth. Take the round part of the object and place it flat on the paper where you want to draw your circle. Use the hand you don't draw with to hold it in place so it doesn't move when you're tracing it. Take a pencil and follow along the round edge of the object until you've completed the circle. When you're finished, take the object off the piece of paper and you'll have a perfect circle! If there are any gaps in the circle after you move the round object, fill them in with the pencil.
Summary: Find something round that you can trace. Hold the round object on a piece of paper. Trace around the edge of the object.
