New Translator Fails!!

Hello my incredible patrons!!

WOW WE HAD FUN WITH THIS!!  I've actually been working on this video on and off for almost a year.  Trying to figure out how to frame everything so those unfamiliar with opera could enjoy it, and then learning from Alan about real opera technique- this really gave me an excuse to work on that for myself as a singer!  I love it when little opportunities like that create themselves around a video.

MORE TO COME YOUR WAY in fact a whole lot...

Last community translate of the year!!

HI ALL!!!

The new big Frozen song just came out!!  If I'm honest, I'm not completely sure this will translate well.....but let's give it a shot!  As far as I can see this is the last translation for a while so now is the time to contribute and have your line possibly featured!!

Let's do this.  You're amazing. xxxxMKR

New Translator Fails!!

Hello my amazing patrons :D :D :D

I had SO MUCH FUN making this video.  I hadn't really made Google Translate into a full-on character before, but I really enjoyed doing it.  She's basically an over-excited toddler who is just trying REALLY hard xD.

And thank you all again so much for helping me reach 1 million subscribers.  I was saying to my family this weekend that I had been dreaming about this for so long that I figured it would be a bit of a let down when it h...

NEW VIDEO and new translate!!

Hello my friends :)

This is a video attempt at what I hope can become more my style- long form, thoughtful, and musical.  I'm going to be experimenting a LOT with it.  So if I seem a little all over the place that's why.  Feedback as always is appreciated.

Also.  I realized that La Vie En Rose has TWO sets of lyrics!!  But thankfully the song repeats.  So I'll use your brilliant French translation first and then let's do the English rewrite in the sec...

DON'T MAKE ME KARAOKE and translate!!

HELLO MY AMAZING PATRONS!

I'm making the karaoke track available to every patron this time, just for fun :D.  Enjoy and feel free to sing the original or the TRANSLATED version for your friends below!  It's attached as a PDF so you can tell the difference.  And there are a few places that have more than one option.  Well done on this my loves!!

New video it's cozy

Hi Patrons :D

One of three videos for the week making up for a dry spell.  I have wanted to do this song....forever?  I don't know why really.  It's just one of my favorite songs ever.  And it is SO HARD but so satisfying to sing.  So thank you for indulging me and letting me sing something on this channel for me xD xD xD.

From now on for MALINDA many of the videos are more long-form.   I think you'll enjoy them :)

More to come from me, my ...

NEW FAST TRANSLATE and updates!!

Hello my amazing patrons!!

I have decided to release the final Don't Make Me translate on my social media as text.  If I'm honest I had a lot of trouble with this one.  Because the original video took up the better part of my creative year I'm having a lot of trouble parodying it, you know?  Not that I'm too precious with it; my head can't get out of where it's already been.  It's been eating at me for the past several weeks, and I just don't want to release a video ...

LIVESTREAM AT 7:30 PM EST!!

Hello all!

We shall sing you a brand new song!! Come hang with us :). And if you’re asleep you can watch it later!

New translate and announcements!!

HELLO MY PATRONS!!

You lil rockstars you.

Hi :)

I've got a new translate for you (we've got a few more for this year), but first some housekeeping.

-If you haven't joined our Discord already at the $2 level, PLEASE CONSIDER doing so :D . It's just 1 more dollar per month if you're a $1 patron (less than a lil cup of coffee), and I come on there everyday to share questions, musings and photos with everyone.  We also play musical games and discuss our favorite TV sh...

1 million. Thank you.

Hello my amazing and wondrous patrons.

We hit 1 million subscribers this morning while I was having breakfast with my parents, my grandmother, my uncle and his wife.  They kept yelling at me to refresh my analytics, and then we all yelled and celebrated (selfie above shortly after).  

It still amazes me that almost 6 years ago some of you internet friends let me into your lives and allowed me to create a career for myself that turned out to be such an incredible combinat...

Don't Make Me with guitars!! (video)

Hello my beautiful patrons!!

Here is the video for the Don't Make Me acoustic version so that you can see the fierceness of Hannah Tobias and Johnny Deltoro!  I would not be able to work with these incredible talents and pay them fairly if it weren't for you all.  This is what you create.  Thank you xoxo

I am still in the process of moving into my new apartment.  We're hanging things now, which is always a good sign that it's close to done!  I'll probably ...

An acoustic Don't Make Me!!

Hello my beautiful +$2 patrons!  

Here is a download just for you of the acoustic version of Don't Make Me!!  We can't wait to perform this live someday.   Video comes out shortly.  Enjoy!!

xxMKR

Why does it grow?

Hello my awesome patrons,

HERE'S TRUTH HURTS FINALLY LOOK WHAT YOU DID YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WOWWWWW!!!!  Honestly, this was really fun.  This is the first time in a while that I did all of the music on my own.  I had a clear image in my head, so challenging myself to make it happen was a blast!  

I hope y'all enjoyed the video and that you're also enjoying streaming Don't Make Me!!  I'm so thrilled by the response to that video and song.  Thank you al...

Your free download!

Hello amazing $5+ patrons,

Here is your free download of Don't Make Me!  And you'll get another free download of the acoustic version once it's out next weeeeek :D.  Enjoy, but please encourage friends and family to download and stream it for themselves because it helps a little independent artist like me out a lot :)

LOVE Y'ALL!!

xxMKR

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

Hello my dearest, most amazing patrons!!

This video is a ton of "the mosts" for me:

-The most labor intensive (will show you behind the scenes this week)

-The most new skills I've had to learn (production, costuming, swords...)

-The most time consuming (been working on this since February)

-The most expensive $$$

-The most people on set (11 people)

-The most hours spent filming non-stop (13 hours)

-The most instrumentalists on one song (6 peopl...

Take 2: NEW VIDEO

Sorry for the double post but YAY!!

Anthony Vincent of Ten Second Songs is an amazing human and we’ve wanted to work together for a long time now. He’s the bomb, so go check out our video on his channel too! There are lots of high notes.

I’m premiering Don’t Make Me at the Buffer Festival Music screening tonight. This video feels like the start of something new and it wouldn’t have happened without the long term support you all have built for me....

Come hang!!

Livestream now at 3!!

My doggo needed my attention but she seems ok now. We’ll start at 3! Thank you for understanding!!

Livestream tomorrow!!

Hello my patrons,

Apologies for this being last minute but Sunday September 29th we’re going to have a livestream at 2pm EST!! I realized with all the craziness that I’d miss this month otherwise. Come hang with me ❤️

Fixed your Twitter bios!

HI amazing patrons :D  YOUR BIOS!!!!  FINALLY!!!  There were so many I didn't do; I got over 300 submissions.  So maybe I'll have to do it again sometime :D.

I hope you all are enjoying the transition into fall!  I'm definitely going through a lot of life-contemplation and self-work, all of which is super uncomfortable but very necessary.  Thank you all for being a sounding board on Discord.  It's been such a blast chatting with you everyday and hearin...

New translation maybe?

Hello patrons :)

I did not plan to do this.......and I won't do it unless I can do something COMPLETELY different with this song.....but I'm really curious what Truth Hurts does with GT.....wanna give it a try?

New MALINDA video out now!

Hi amazing PATREON PEEPS!

This video started out as making another "you'd really listen to me sing that" and as I was looking through your suggestions I thought, "These are just things I'd come across in a day...why don't I do that, too?"  And thus this video was born!!  Hope you enjoy it :D

Reminder- LIVESTREAM is tomorrow at 4pm EST!  Come hang and let's sing and talk about the future. 

You all are lovely and I hope you're having a lovely day :)

Señorita is out!!

Hello my amazing Patreon fam!

You all kinda nailed it didn't you.  You always do ;)

I really enjoyed making this one.  It still cracked me up after editing it for a while.  That usually tells me it's a good one!

I'm now settled in New York and working on a LOT of new stuff.  

For my LIVESTREAM tier we're going to have a stream this SATURDAY at 4pm EST.  I'll sing a little bit and get a lot of feedback from you as I am starting to develop some l...

New music video!!

Hello my wonderful patrons!!

I've wanted to record with Pomplamoose for a million years, so to get to actually do it was nuts.  I'm so thrilled that they let me crash one of their sessions!!!  And Jack (on keys) founded this very platform that we are all a part of!  Isn't that wild???  They've made such huge contributions to the YouTube community, and I'm grateful to call them friends.

More to come from me soon!  I'm moving to NYC soon to focus on music (...

Did your Discord not work?

Hi patrons!!

Just to make sure we cover all bases, apparently when I added my Discord some people didn't get notified.  We're currently working to resolve the issue, but if you want to connect your role on Discord try following the instructions in this link!

Be in a video with me!

Hello my amazing patrons.

I am working on a video in which I collect love stories from around the world and make them into a song.  I'm looking for stories of partnerships of ALL different kinds; all are welcome.  If you and/or your partner would like to record a *horizontal* cellphone video answering the questions below you might end up in a MALINDA video and be an inspiration for this song :)

Feel free to answer as much or as little as you like.  I'm so looking fo...

I lied...one more translation :)

Hi patrons!!!!

I thought that the meditation would be the last translate to help with, but I want to do ONE MORE as a music video.  I decided to backlog it and move Memory a little later because I want to get all of my Translator Fails done before moving to NYC briefly.  That way in the time that I have in NYC I can focus on MALINDA.   So there may not even be a translate to work on until October!!!  So thank you for helping me get ahead :D
