EVALUATION OF PERFORMANCE

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

PLANNING

Comment on the following –

the number ofREHEARSALS and how effective your target-setting was	effectiveness The rehearsals were good because we managed to get the  performance ready.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME Because I changed my mind on the performance, we did not have as much time together as maybe we would have wanted.
your STAGINGincluding movement around stage	effectiveness I felt that because we did not move around the stage at all and we had no added staging that it worked well and didn't detract from the meaning of the song.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME I think that next time we would do a similar thing as I felt that it worked well, we might have included a little bit of movement around the stage.
your LIGHTING	effectiveness We had general cover on the stage which again didn't take distract the audience from the meaning of the song.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME If we had more time to sort out a lighting plan, then we might have faded in and out of different colours slowly, especially in the chorus when the song is more lively.
your SOUNDincluding your technical use of mics/instruments etc.	effectiveness We only had one instrument, we used an electric guitar which was plugged into the amplifier. We also two microphones. I had one and Holly and Jess shared one.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME Next time we could include some form of percussion, or other instruments such as a piano. We would also have a microphone each instead of having to share.

PERFORMANCE SKILLS

MOVEMENT and VOCAL DELIVERY	effectiveness I feel that my vocal delivery was good and worked well with the song and the parts that I was singing.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME Next time I think that I will be more confident and so hopefully this would improve my tone and my intonation.
EXPRESSIVENESS (facial and physical)	effectiveness I feel that I wasn't too rigid in my movement and my facial expression was relatively confident	how you would improve for NEXT TIME I would want my movement to be even more loose. And because I wasn't 100% confident with the chords and lyrics of the song I would not have the chords and I would look up into the audience more.
COMMUNICATION TO THE AUDIENCE and how your performance was received	effectiveness I felt that we communicated the message of the song well to the audience and we not closed off to them.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME I fell that without the chords and lyrics then we would be able to engage the audience more.
CONSISTENCY OF COMMUNICATION (how well you maintained your chosen persona)	effectiveness I felt that I remained professional throughout the performance.	how you would improve for NEXT TIME I would maybe be a bit more relaxed and overall seem a bit happier! I would try to interact with the audience a bit more.
