Performance Day 15/5/12

The performance went better than I expected it to be. When I was doing it I felt everything waas going to plan (barring some mis-steps and lyric screw-ups) During I thought I sounded really good, especially in the ensemble pieces.

Watching it back...well that was a differentz story. I still felt that the ensemble pieces were better (obviously) than the smaller all-boys piece, which I frankly though, of my personal peformance, rubbish. I sounded EXTREMELY out of tune, I went to exit the stage too early, which was embarressing as no ne else moved. Sapphira usually says that I have improved, but harking back to my solo, I sounded rubbish then so I cant really sense an improvement...maybe I am tone death.

Rehearsal 10/5/12

All I can say for this assessment is that I wasnt in due to my illness

Rehearsals 8/5/12

Again started the lesson with warm-ups (ssss, shhh, low hum, high hum, aeiou), which I led. I felt it went pretty good :). Then we broke off into our seperate groups. We edited the choreography, especially the timing (which i feel is still off). I dont really have any confidence in my singing. Im finding the lyrics to Under My Skin quite hard to grasp, mainly (from what I believe) due to the inflections in each verse and the slight differences of words.

Rehearsal 3/5/12

Again started with the usual warm-ups to help exercise our voices. Then we carried on with smaller group songs.

The smaller group im in (all boys) did rehearsals in the main singing room. I thought it was pretty crap if im honest, and the performance to the rest of the class was worse. My confidence at this point now is so low i actually dont want to do singing at all.

Rehearsal 1/5/12

Started off with the usual set of warm-ups; shush, low hum, ssss, high hum, aeiou and hallelujah warm-ups. Different warm ups help exercise different muscles e.g. Aeiou helps with diction.

We mainly worked on ensemble songs this lesson, mainly polishing them up. The only work that needs tp be done now is the smaller group songs and the choreography.
