Great job with the imitations, or modeling. I think we all learned a lot from the experience. Some points we can observe in professionals:
how long the hold the notes.
the pronunciation of words
facial expressions, eyes open, eyes closed.
What do you like about their performance? Or not like?
use of movement (hands or whole body)
I have attempted to load the videos onto youtube and will email each of you a link to access your own video only. This is the first time I have done this so, if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll make another stab at posting them for you
NEW RULE - NO Apologizing ! Apologizing for your performance in advance is NOT the way to start out. Although I do realize that it is almost irrisitable to do so, it is a bad habit to get into.
If you make a mistake, don't tip us off with your facial expressions. Fake it and pretend that there was not mistake. Chances are that no one will notice. This is hard to do and take practice.
Next week: Duet singing. think about balancing your voices in volume and attitude. Connect with your partner while singing. Work on getting the phrasing of the song to match. Chaose a simple song that you both know pretty well.
We will meet on Monday, March 13 and then our last class will be on Wednesday March 22.
