Solo Performance Practise

First Attempt at Solo

In today's lesson I worked on my solo performance, I have decided to sing 'She Used To Be Mine' from the musical 'Waitress', I have chosen this song because it stems from a lot of heavy emotion throughout.

I am happy with how the song is sounding for the beginning rehearsals for it, and I feel that once I become more confident with the lyrics I will feel my vocals and emotion become stronger throughout.

I am going to work on my breath control and confidence in singing as my targets for my performance as these are my main areas I want to develop and improve in, I have set myself a range of exercises that I want to complete running up to my solo performance to therefore improve the solo overall. 

Once I feel comfortable with my vocals I went to begin working on the emotion the character is experiencing during the song, this means researching the character and the meaning of the song and also watching performances of the song by other people and seeing which emotional performance aspects of theirs I can take and use in my own performance.
