I've got a new translation to work on! THIS IS THE LAST ONE FOR AUGUST to help with!!
This translate will be this week, then Memory (which you all have already NAILED) and then Twitter Bios after that (which I'll do myself so it stays a surprise for youuu). But this week- let's MEDITATE with Google Translate. I'm excited to make this ridiculous.
Side note, it's the MALINDA channel's birthday. That lil baby chann...

Hello my amazing patrons!
GTS MAKES A GLORIOUS RETURN thanks to your hard work on this one! Sorry it took so long, but you all were SO helpful with it. Couldn't have done it without you!
Our next GTS is going to be Memory from CATS, as suggested on our Discord. I figured I might as well xD. So let's see how this goes!
You all are wonderful. Thank you for your kindness and happy vibes. You'll be getting some SERIOUS behind the scenes action...

Hello my awesome Patrons!!
Hannah and Johnny and I broke out a bottle of wine and arranged this thing by ear the night before, and we had SO MUCH FUN making it!! Like SOOO much. We hope you can feel our joy of singing together live. There's really nothing like it.
WAY more to come from me soon, and thank you to those of you who have contributed to the Discord chat. I can't wait to spend some time on that setting our community standards, mods, and other suc...

This month’s livestream is going to be different in that I may wait to start the concerts next month because I’VE GOT A BIG STUDIO SESSION MONDAY!! It’s pretty rare that I am in a session like this, so I thought it would be cool to give you all a look into the process!
So depending on the Internet at the studio, which as I remember is good, I’m going to actually stream from around 2:30-4:30 EST!!! I’ll basically jus...

EMERGENCY TRANSLATING!!
I've gone back on my Billie Eilish plan, and I'm just going to do Bad Guy. It's the song that seems to have blown up, and I wasn't loving how the other songs were fitting in to the medley. And the best translated moments came from that song, too, so we're going to run with it and release this week!
Because these lyrics are so simple they're REALLY hard to translate so I definitely need your help!!! I've just put ...

Hello my WONDERFUL patrons,
This video was a HUGE collaboration between SO many people. I was also honored to have an all female creative team for the video itself. What a wonderful ride. I learned so much in making this, and I hope it resonates with you. xx

Hi patrons!
I made a little cover for you this week because TOY STORY and also I realized just how much I love singing this song. Wow, it's right up my alley and hits my heartstrings soooo hard. I hope you can reflect on your childhood companions with this one. Anyone else have a favorite stuffie growing up (or still)?
Thank you all for the birthday love. I've had a great time celebrating, and jumping right back into what I love :). And that's thanks ...

Hello my patrons!
You all did a wonderful job on this one. I had a great time making it :D. It's rather catchy isn't it! More Patreon announcements to come soon :)
I am SO HESITANT to do Billie Eilish because I love her music so much and just want to be nice to her....but I have a feeling this is going to go well. Let's do a little two-song medley, shall we?
YOU ALL ARE AMAZING! Thank you for your support in this crazy time!

Hello my amazing patrons ;)
I wanted to share this JUST WITH YOU! This is a 10 second clip from my first training session for a video that involves some combat. None of this choreography actually made it into the final choreo, but this was our first go at it as I remembered my training from years ago.
Huge shoutout to Danny Cackley who is the fight choreographer on the video!
NONE OF THIS is possible without you all. This will be our biggest video of the y...
Hello my amazing patrons,
I was continuously baffled by my old Facebook statuses so I wrote a song out of them. And some of YOURS! There were so many good ones, maybe I'd jump in and do a second down the road.
For LIVESTREAM patrons, our next stream will be June 24th at 4pm EST!! It should be a fun one.
Also, I am considering starting a Discord for Patreon! Do any of you use Discord already? It would give me a chance to interact with you all eve...

Hi awesome patrons,
While I work on lots of new music over here I wanted to take a bit to talk about one of the most insidious but also helpful forms of self-comparison; idolization. I'd been thinking a lot about it so I just wanted to get it off my chest, and when I do my makeup tends to be when I think about things like this xD. So here we are!!
Thank you all for your continued contributions to the "I Don't Care" translate. I'm excited to do it. Let me kn...

HELLO MY PATRONS!!
SO MANY GREAT LINES FROM YOU ALL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I hope you enjoy the Sound of Silence :D. It was fun to whip out the fog machine again ;)
I think I'm going to do "I Don't Care" since Ed Sheeran is....especially revered on Translator Fails xD.
I've got some videos backlogged after this, so I think this is the last Patreon translate this month! Get your translated funtimes out while they're here!
You all are amazing. &nbs...

Hello my wonderful "Team Malinda +" patrons :D
Here is your May monthly cover! This is "Distant Melody" from the musical of Peter Pan. I had forgotten about this song until while I was in bed recovering from my accident I was pulling out old movies and decided to watch the Cathy Rigby production of Peter Pan. It made me cry SO HARD and this moment is just stunning. So I improved a little arrangement for you. Nothing fancy, just messing around :)

Hello my beautiful "Team Malinda +" patrons,
As you all know things got a little crazy with my scooter accident, but I'm vastly more functional, though not back to normal. I am moving into a new place this week (with lots of help because I can't lift anything xD) so I wanted to let you know that "May's" livestream will be on June 4th at 5pm EST. I will play you either the final mix of Music Box or a new demo or a song :D :D :D :D. And then we'll have June's livestream ...

Hello my amazing and beautiful patrons!
My apologies for not posting the GTS for you all on Wednesday because before I had the chance to do so my breaks failed on a scooter I was riding! I've got a broken elbow and a chin laceration and some very sad knees, but amazingly it wasn't worse. I'm much more in control of the pain now and I'm surprisingly mobile, which is awesome. Thank you for the love and support on social media.
So now...HERE IS A NEW SONG!!! ...
2019-05-24 16:35:28 +0000 UTC View PostHi my amazing patrons,
I apologize for the spontaneous Translator Fails break. It was needed, but I'm recommitting myself to taking some serious time for GTS for a little bit. In that case, let's translate Old Town Road because the lyrics are already hilarious.
Translating with you all is my favorite part of the process :D . Thank you for being willing to help because BOY is it so much more fun.
LEZ GO!!

Hello my amazing Patreon family,
I had the most amazing opportunity to collaborate with The Jerusalem Youth Chorus while they were on tour in New York City. We wrote this song based on these young artist's life stories, and it is easily the most rewarding music video process I've ever been a part of.
It would NEVER have happened without you all. Between finding a studio in NYC and paying for my amazing producer your generosity is everywhere in this video. ...

Hello my patrons,
Apologies for the late and brief post as I've been in the middle of a wonderful shoot in NYC. But I got to go into Mammoth Cave and film! It was a real blast :D . Ranger Jim was an amazing guide!
What else do you all want me to do on Translator Fails? I feel like that channel is getting a little stuck. Any thoughts of how to stay on brand without getting repetitive?
YOU ALL ROCK!!
