It’s no longer news that the digital sphere has rapidly changed the face of the media world. Due to the digital revolution, our definition of what we call media has deepened. This has therefore changed media realities and trends.
This trend of evolution is what The Academic Summit (TAS) has successfully highlighted and tracked for the past seven years.
Now in its eight year, TAS seeks to make concerted efforts in making stakeholders in the media industry see how far the media has come, present realities and trends and then projections for the future.
https://i1.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0978.jpg?resize=768%2C768
TAS 7.0, last year, tried to track the tools needed to survive in this ‘Content-thirsty’ age of the media. We found out that Creativity and Innovation are very much potent tools needed to survive.
This year, TAS 8.0 seeks to take a different route. The theme is “The Digital Leverage: Opportunities in the contemporary media.” We are seeking to help students and participants find out how the digital space is creating new opportunities in the media sphere. We are aware that ‘digital’ has brought new opportunities but our focus this year is the newer opportunities.

Be it in broadcasting, with Digitization giving you power to practically own a TV station or in Advertising with Digital agencies and the need for digital marketing experts rising, it is needless to say that digital is the new way.

Traditional advertising campaigns are not complete without a digital adaptation, Public relations is ineffective if there is no digital engagement and social media being flooded with the story the brand is telling. Newspaper readership is on the decline while blogs and online news sites are garnering more traffic by the day. Even newspaper houses have had to invest significantly in their online operations.
https://i2.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0944.jpg?resize=768%2C768
Every facet of Mass communication has had to incorporate a new level of digital in its operations. With all this in view and with the vision of TAS of equipping media students with necessary knowledge to thrive in the media space, it is expedient that we draw attention to the new leverage ‘digital’ is providing.

The list of the speakers would definitely leave you gasping. The official photographer of the President of Nigeria, Bayo Omoboriowo would be taking one of the classes. Enitan Denloye, Vice President, Brands and Advertising of Airtel Nigeria would also be around. Other guests include Chuka Obi, Creative Director DDB Lagos; Adekunle Ayeni, CEO, BlackHouse media; Feyi Olubodun, CEO, Insight Publics and a host of others.

Without doubt, all is set for the biggest media event. Participants can be sure that after the event they’d begin to see and explore the numerous uncharted opportunities that surrounds them. Register for the event HERE

Backup singers or vocalists provide harmonic accompaniment for the lead singer. The job of a backup singer is tasking and a lot of times harder than that of the lead singer. If you are a backup singer, there are basic requirements that enhance your success in that role. We will look at five of them.
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0770.jpg
1. BASIC SKILL SET –
A: Ability to learn songs quickly
As a producer, I get to see different people brought to the studio to do background vocals on tracks and I find it really time wasting working with people who cannot learn melodies and lyrics fast enough. In a concert or church setting also, you may be required to backup for someone you have not rehearsed with. This skill is invaluable in such situations.

B: Ability to recognize and sing the correct notes
This is as important as the first. Music directors know too well the pain of trying to make a choir recognize and sing a particular note. A two-hour rehearsal or recording session could stretch far beyond that simply because a singer is not able to produce the required pitch. Precision is essential when it comes to harmony as just one note can change everything. The difference between a major chord and minor chord is the just one note-the third scale degree!
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0771-2.jpg?resize=768%2C461
2. BLENDING –
This merits a post on its own and we will deal with it later in detail, but I will outline a few things about blending here. Blending requires you to blend your voice with others without a noticeable difference in timbre. Blending is a major ingredient that separates amateur backup singing from the professional sound you hear in top records. Every voice is unique. For a solo artiste, uniqueness is key, but for the backup singer, you need to blend, become invisible, and modify your vocal to fit the required sound.

There are some factors in blending:

A: Volume and Dynamics
Blending requires you to match your volume to that of others. Too high and you will overshadow others; too low and others will overshadow you. Every backup singer also needs to follow the musical dynamics of the piece. Any deviation will mess up the blend.

B: Breathing Points
Breath management ability varies among individuals by reason of training and practice. Good blending requires backup singers to breathe at the same points in a musical phrase.

C: Phrasing
Sustained notes, crescendos, rests, delineation, staccato, etc., must start and end at the same time, and be observed by everyone.
https://i1.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0772.png?resize=768%2C407
3. HARMONY –
As backing vocal, 95% of your job description involves singing harmonies, hence you should be at home with singing harmonies. I need to state here emphatically that you should be able to sing any harmony given to you irrespective of what voice type you are.That is of course as allowed by your vocal range.

I hear people say things like, “No, I am a soprano singer so I can’t sing that alto/tenor part.” Sister, you are limiting yourself. It is annoying to me when I see three ladies backing up someone and they are all singing the melody. You ask them why, and you hear stuff like “Well, we are all soprano singers!”
Mehn! That just gets to me! It’s a terrible and unprofessional excuse.
Please learn how to sing other harmonies no matter what voice part you normally sing.
Please!
Thank you.

4. FOLLOW, DO NOT LEAD! –
Scenario 1: A lady was leading the praise session in a church, and at some point it looked like she had run out of songs; so she signaled the musicians to play on. One of her backup singers decided to help her by raising a song. Unfortunately, just as the backup singer raised a song, the song leader raised another song –both of them started simultaneously.
The result? Chaos.
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0774.jpg?resize=480%2C204
5. EXTRAS –
A: Look Good
People often look at the backup singers as much they look at the song leader. So dress well and look your best. You are a major contributor to the image of the band.

B: Concentrate
I once caught a backup singer staring at people that were coming into the church during the praise session. She just zoned out. Her mouth was open and she wasn’t singing.

C: Know your lyrics!
The projector that you depend on will someday fail you. I’ve seen it happen many times. Learn your lyrics until it becomes a part of you. How will you be able to express a message that you barely know?

D: Be Professional
Do not get too excited that you forget what you are supposed to do. Do not leave your microphone because your body is pushing you to dance to the rhythm of the song. Do not just “enter the spirit” and leave those you are meant to lead. Being a backup singer is a great responsibility. Treat it as such.
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0775.jpg?resize=768%2C432
The backup singer’s role is crucial to the success of every band. If you are a backup singer, I need you to understand this. You are important. Your presence matters. Some singers feel that the only cool job is that of the song leader.

Wrong.

Being a backup singer helps you prepare better for a solo career by giving you a solid training in performance; so you get to learn and grow without having all eyes totally on you. So if you are a backup singer, keep your head up and do your job.

https://i2.wp.com/www.drmichaelaaronnyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Guilt.jpg?resize=640%2C400
Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus”
The conscience is a built-in warning system that signals us when something we have done is wrong. The conscience is to our souls what pain sensors are to our bodies: it inflicts distress, in the form of guilt, whenever we violate what our hearts tell us is right.

Guilt is the ancient spirit of the devil, when he wants to attack a person’s relationship with God, he uses guilt as a forerunner!

Sometimes we feel guilty, because we struggle with a particular sin, the devil then amplifies it in our mind! he tells us we’re hypocrites and that God’s angry with us, but there was no vinegar in Jesus’ mouth when he said “It is finished”.
Guilt is a major cause of many unanswered prayers because the request was not asked in the first place!

James 4:7 “You’re the one God gave control over your mind, it’s up to you to decide what resides in it, do not let the devil be in the wheels of your life!”



Look for that beautiful rainbow in that ‘guilt-storm’ in your mind, and see Christ bearing all your burdens!

Be rest assured that when you confess your sins, God is angry with you no more. Please love God instead of fearing Him, cause He first loved us!

The annual TechPlus event took place from the 6th to the 8th of July 2017. The program was held at Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island Lagos. TechPlus is an innovative program that deals with the helping entrepreneurs, content creators, gamers and ideators to network, boost and promote their various brands through the application of technological advancement.
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_2472-1.jpg?resize=768%2C1024
The theme for this year’s conference was, “An Intelligent Future “. All the talks and seminars focused on the development of a brighter future and a more technologically enabled labour force.
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_2450.jpg?resize=768%2C1024
Just like last year, participants could choose the seminars that are more relevant to his or her field. The various fields of study that TechPlus offered ranged from Government and Public Administration to Mass Communication and Media Development. The diversity of the fields of study that TechPlus offered ensured that there was a seminar or class that each person could relate to. The conference brought in giants in various fields of study and allowed the participants and provided a platform of interaction between the participants and the speakers. TechPlus 2017 speakers included: Iyin Aboyeji, Jade Adedeji, Kola Aina, Dele Tojuoso, Frederick Udoaka and loads of more mavins.
https://i0.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0903.png?resize=480%2C184
The conference wasn’t all work and no play though. There was an interesting gaming section where participants played against one another in a variety of games such as “Call of Duty”, “FIFA”, “Mortal Kombat” etc. The gamers were setup in different groups and played against each other till there was a champion.
https://i1.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0904.jpg?resize=500%2C280
The gaming section generated an exciting atmosphere. There was also a childcare section, for those that brought their children to the conference. TechPlus 2017 was an amazing experience and not less is expected from a conference that had the amount of sponsorship that TechPlus had. Some of the conference’s sponsors included giants such as UBA, Samsung, Lenovo, NBC, HP, Jumia, etc.
https://i2.wp.com/www.theartofade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/img_0905.jpg?resize=360%2C360
There were various booths for the sponsors to interact with the participants. The TechPlus 2017 was a very well organized and magnificent event, and incase you were unable to attend the event this year, do not despair! The event is an annual one so catch it next year but just be sure to carry a jacket or sweater along because their air conditioning is always on deep freezer levels.
