Singing 6th February

In this lesson we did our singing assessment songs. I sang ‘Close Every Door’ from Joseph. The first time I sang it I got out of time with the music and had to stop. The second time I was happy with the performance. Although I was nervous I think that this didn’t show during my performance and I sang in tune and in time. I was happy that during the Acapella section I didn’t get out of time because sometimes in rehearsals I had come in too early. I think that my characterisation in this performance was better than it had been in most of my rehearsals. I think that I could have projected better during my performance and if I had another attempt this would be my main focus. Because it is a powerful song I wanted to get this across in my performance, I think I did this rather well but not as good as it had been in some of my rehearsals. Overall I was happy with the performance because my timing, intonation, breath control and characterisation was good. All of the lessons about techniques really helped me in the rehearsal process and the performance.
