I remember wondering what she would be like as she grew up and became her own person. Now… Continue reading My Wish
Author: Desiree Renae
I am a Mom, a professional and in my heart a performer. I enjoy singing and recording, not only for myself but I really feel it can bring joy to those around me. I was born blind, which comes with its own challenges and sometimes barriers. I am always looking for opportunities to give those around me positive energy. When others feel good, I feel good.
Goodbye My Val

She was my faithful guide and companion for over 10 years. She was full of life and… Continue reading Goodbye My Val

I recorded it again this past week in celebration of both Jonathan’s birthday as well as commemorating the first day we really began to get to know each other. Two years later and so much to look forward to. I can still… Continue reading Top Of The World Rerecording

Here, There and Everywhere
I grew up listening to songs from The Beatles and have been a big fan. This is a lesser known song, but I heard it some time ago and thought it’d be fun to record. https://media.blubrry.com/3562447/www.desireerenae.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Here-There-And-Everywhere.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS | Please Subscribe to Learning Blind Tech with Desiree Renae
Through The Eyes Of Love
I have heard several versions of this song and decided it would be fun to sing. I have not seen the movie Ice Castles, this song is part of that soundtrack. It was a fun one to perform, a little different. https://media.blubrry.com/3562447/www.desireerenae.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Through-The-Eyes-Of-Love.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS | Please Subscribe to Learning Blind… Continue reading Through The Eyes Of Love

I recorded this one the other day. It has been on my list to do for quite some time. The artist Jo Dee Messina has an interesting range, will probably post more of her songs in future. Yet another one of those songs that when you feel what you are singing, it makes the words… Continue reading Because You Love Me

I loved this song as a kid and sang it a few times to my own kids. To my 3 sweet beautiful daughters, I hope you reach for your dreams and find the life you long for.

I have also been experimenting with different recording scenarios; using my zoom P4 mixer and the files that it records, verses my Windows PC and Audacity wit mixer, verses Mac and Audacity with mixer. Most of my… Continue reading Could I Have This Dance
