Solo Performance Evaluation

Wednesday 22nd  May

Today I performed my solo singing performance. I chose to perform the song 'Honey Honey' which is from Mamma Mia the musical and film. I had to perform it twice. The first time I didnt characterize the song atall and think this was down to nerves. But in the next try of the song I feel it was much better. I developed it by instead of having just me on the staging, I used 2 year 13s who were members of the audience. They sat with me and gave me people to interact with and to ensure I was characterizing the song enough.
I dont feel my singing was loud enough, I could of improved my singing by simply doing it louder. Also if I had more confidence I feel I would be able to sing loudly and proudly.

My first song choice is Honey Honey from Mamma Mia

I like that this song is upbeat and happy as I feel personally I can act better when its happy as find it hard not to smile. This song is better as a group song having people to act around with and also to create harmonys but it does work as a solo.

I am worrier about the 2 large instrumentals as this would leave a large time where all the attention would just be on my acting.

I think creating actions and acting would be easy for this song as I can just act along with the words.

SONG DEVELOPMENT

I am thinking of changing my song to Electricity from Billy Elliot.

I like this song and feel confident in knowing a strong knowledge of the background of the character meaning I could characterise it well. I am worried as its a song sung by a boy so the character is a boy. Also there is a strong accent in the song which I can do but am worried I may loose the accent half way through.
The way to work on these points is simply practise and practise.
