Throughout the lessons we were required to not only take part in vocal warm ups but also to rehearse and perform our solo's in front of peers. This was something I found really daunting. the first time we performed in front of the class my voice was really shaky and i had constant eye contact with the floor. I think this was just down to the fact i haven't sung in front of people before. if i was dancing in front of them i still would have been nervous but as singing isn't really in my comfort zone i really struggled with doing this. However this is something i need to learn to overcome especially with the musical coming up I think its just something i will have to deal with as the process goes along as there isn't really a cure for nerves you can only learn how to deal with them better!
when i changed my song choice I didn't realise how hard it would be to find a backing track. I searched on you tube but all the versions on there i came across seemed to have the talking over the top - which was the version taken directly from the film.Other versions I looked at managed to cut out half the verses or finished half way through ! it was an absolute nightmare trying to find one but eventually I managed to find a perfect version on you tube which I later used to rehearse and complete my audition with.
I also struggled a bit learning the words as the verses are so similar . It took a lot of practising and repetition until I knew the words off by heart and even on the morning of the audition I was still stressing because I was mixing the verses up completely but I think that was down to nerves really.
