LV1 Solo Assessment feedbacky stuff

For my NCEA LV1 Music Solo performance, I did a song and it was scary and I was terrified. All jokes aside I think I did pretty okay especially considering I don't usually sing by myself. I sang Death is Just Around the Corner from the Addams Family Musical. This was a very dramatic piece that I think that I pulled off pretty well. Heres my performance, if you want to watch it, you can, you don't have to though. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WCtV6gQfzI5uTtpVYIroc1CmtxsRoGyu/view?usp=sharing 

Why did I choose this song? 

Well, I really like musical theatre and the dramatic side of music. I really like performing and dramatic art. I also have a soft spot for The Addams Family series and movies, they're really cool, you should watch them. 

Am I happy with my final performance? 

It was okay, other than the ATROCIOUS note at the end, I think it was okay.  I did alright, it wasn't horrible but it could be better. I think I did pretty well on the drama side but should focus more on the singing side. I got an Excellence on my first try which was pretty cool. 

What did you find challenging? 

I found that the final high note at the end of the song was my breaking point. Getting from that lower register in my voice to the higher register was hard. I performed the song well but the final note kinda ruined it. 

The performance goal for solo 2.

My performance goal is to focus less on the performance side of my performance and more on the singing part. My vocal teacher says I also need to work on my vocal technique. I need to work on the placement of my voice and where the sound is coming from. I also need to work on opening my mouth to get that louder and fuller sound out. The song I am going to sing for my second solo is That Don't Impress Me Much by Shania Twain. This is a pretty cool song with some nice notes in it so I think I will be okay with that.
