Initial Workshop of Rent - Seasons of Love


During this workshop with the director we started off with a vocal warm up. We practiced going up and down our vocal registers and then we used straws to blow a tissue on the other side to open up our lungs. This was something we had not tried before but I think it really helped us to reach our full vocal potential. After the warm up, we started to learn the lyrics for Seasons of Love and we all began on the same melody. Once we got further in the song we created a three part harmony and I took part in the lower vocals at (0:07 - 0:10) I am the one in the pink top. This was quite a challenge because when I heard the higher pitched vocalists I kept accidentally joining in with them instead. However, my strength in this workshop was my open mindedness as i was willing to try all these harmonies even though I have never done them before and am not as confident with singing. My target for next lesson is to keep to my lower pitch so the melodies can work and also I need to work on my projection as I am really quiet at times, like at (0:13-0:20), achieving this will make the song sound more professional. I will achieve this by practicing in my own time in order to build up my confidence.

Singing solo assessment 3

This was my final video of my singing solo and significant improvements were made. I had a lot more energy, characterisation and projection within my voice. I sang the song without backing vocals and you can hear me clearly. also, my voice was deep and strong to match the intimidating character I was trying to portray. I danced full out while singing and my energy remained high. My movements did not look lazy, and I looked like I was enjoying myself. My characterisation also improved within my eye contact to the camera to look more intimidating, my jazz movements and my facial expressions which were snide and conceited. However, I dd miss some timing as the karaoke version was very different to the singing version I learnt, but I think I handled the p;roblem well.

Solo singing assessment 1

  This is my Solo assessment sheet, where my director and I assessed my singing solo attempt 1. It covers what I did well and what I need to improve. Also, It includes a SMART target that I set for myself to achieve by the next attempt.  Also, here is my first solo singing attempt video to 'All That Jazz' from Chicago. All That Jazz is the opening number for the musical, as Velma Kelly performs she is unaware that the police are on the way to arrest her for her murder. Velma is a tough and intimidating character so that's what I have to embody when singing this piece by having a deep voice and growls. I can also portray this character through my movements.
