Jamie Cullum singing assessment

On the 22nd of May we did our final performance of 'Everything you didn't do'. We had been working on this for a few weeks and had worked a lot of exsploring harmonies in three parts. This was for our final singing ensemble assessment.

One of my strengths in the song was my projection with in the group and making my volume louder to battle over everyone else. I felt this came naturally to me as when in a big group of people singing you have to make twise the effort to get your notes heard by the audience. Another one of my Stregnths in the song was my diction. I felt that I spoke really clear and paced so that my words were really clear. And really pronounced all of my consonants sounds, particularly 'T' and 'S'. I think this made the words clearer and made the lines come to life. This therefor making all of the lines in the verses Stacarto and sharp. In contrast to this style for the chorus and the bridge in the song I felt that it would sound better if it was a lot more slurred and Lagarto to Emphasis the words of being relaxed. I think this worked for most of the verses but not all.

One thing that I would have liked to work in was the key change in the third chorus and then going into the harmony. I struggled to get this on tune at the start of this section and then, I found the right notes with the help from the piano and others in my harmony group.
