Broadway wannabees!

Singing part of your world from the little mermaid was a little challenge but fun at the same time.
It was mainly challenging because there were a couple of high notes that I couldn't reach, I'd sometimes push the notes but it would come out wrong or leave my throat in pain, or I'd go in head voice and it would sound off key. But by singing this song more and more I learnt new techniques from my teachers as well as by myself that helped the transition from low to high go smoothly. I learnt that singing some parts lower would help make it easier to fully breath in and hit the high notes and I also learnt that if I sang some parts a little faster I would have less time to think about how high the note is. I can't say however that I truly hit the notes the way I wanted to but I did much better with my last performance compared to when I started. And with the help of the piano I feel like my performance wasn't so bad. But what I should improve on with my singing would be my my breathing techniques and to take my time with the  pianist. I noticed at the beginning that I  would try sing faster than the pianist or I'd go slower, so I think I need to trust that whoever is playing  will go along with my singing. As for the acting I practiced multiple times to perform while singing but then again I don't feel like I reached my full acting potential. I should have set an audience and told a story rather than just sing. By the time I had to perform my final piece I realized that I was more focused in the song than on the performance. So In The future I think I'll need to pay more attention to my performance. I also felt like I didn't chose an audience I was singing aimlessly and I kept walking in random directions. I feel like I used my facial expression well enough but if I'd used my body language more I would have done I little bit better. But over all I really enjoyed working in this piece and getting to feel what it's like to do two things at the same time; singing and acting.

As for the two other performances, I enjoyed them both very much. At the beginning of johns performance he didn't know the lines and he too didn't pick an audience or a person he was taking to. But by the last performance he knew every line by heart and he used emotion and grand gestures which was really impressive. However I fell he should work on picking only certain words to put emphasis on and say the rest normally. Jake did pretty good to, the first try was a little shaky but he got a hang of things when we talked about breathing  and finding an audience.
