Today we had to sing our 3 songs too Kim infront of the class. I did two songs from Tangled which were 'I Want Something That I Want' and 'When Will My Life Begin.'. Then I did a duet with Emily and we sung 'What Is This Feeling' from Wicked.
During the day we went over it a few times to make sure we had the harmonies right and characterion was good. I felt really confident about doing my duet with Emily, but I was a bit worried about my two solos, as im not a very confident singer. To overcome this I sung my solos infront of a few people a couple of times to build up my confidence.
When it came to the performance I first sung my duet with Emily, we stood on the opposite ends of the stage facing away from each other, as the song is about the characters having an argument. I felt a little a bit more nervous when I was up their on the stage, as I don't usually sing in front of people. The harmonies went really well I think and we both remembered all the words. I think of could of maybe breathed properly in some places and I could of worked on my characterisation a bit more.
I then had to sing one of my solos, so I chose, 'When Will My Life Begin'. I chose to sing this song first as I wanted to save the best one till last. I sung it and it went quite well and felt a little nervous, but again I've never properly sang in front of an audience where I have stood up on a stage all on my own. I think I could of improved on my performance a lot more, by working on my characterisation and not mucking up my lines and forgetting them. I then had to sing my other solo which was 'I Want Something That I Want'. I felt this song really suited my voice a little bit more than the other one and I thought I would do better on this one, so that's why I chose this one to sing last. Again I felt a little nervous, as I had quite a high note in this song. I decided to just go for it instead of leaving it out as it wouldn't of sounded very good without it. I felt the performance didn't go too bad, as I really enjoyed singing this one and I think I got all the notes right. The things I could of improved on again was characterisation and maybe I should of worked on hitting that high note a bit more, as it I don't think it sounded that good.
Overall I felt really proud of my 3 performances and think I did quite a good job considering I'm not the most confident person to sing in front of people. I think my confidence has grew by so much throughout the year and I've definitely come a long way since the year before too.
