The performance went really well and from the feedback i got it was amazing, we didn't have nearly any mistakes will performing and everyone was able to communicate really well. Especially when i went into the audience would check to when i would want it to end. The bands stage presents was amazing not one person didn't not move round with what they had. For example Its hard for George to move with the drums and Kiefer with the fact he has a stationary piano. However ollie was amazing with when he played his solo getting on his knees toms stage presents throughout he performance was amazing and he really came out of his shell. Ash and i were able to sing together and also interact with the rest of the band and went really well. The only mistakes made the audience wouldn't be able to notice apart from the band. For example on the second song me and ash made a mistake on who sings which part but knowone will notice.
In are final performance there were only a small number of problems we faced as a band and for myself as a individual. Some problems i faced is i wasnt very well for a few days before the performance and on the night, due to a lot of ilness going around at the time. I had a bunged up nose due to my condition werte i have had a sineses problem for most of my life and i believe the cold triggered that more, however i new how to handle it as ive had this problem most of my life. Around 1 hour before going on stage I did some facial masarging to help unblock my sinesis this takes around 20 minutes and helped massively especially with the key aspect of breathing. I also had been singing alot thoughout the week so my vocals had been over worked due to bad planning and if i were to do a project like this in the future i would make sure i am not singing for a minimum of 2 days before the performance. A way i over came this problems was doing a indepth vocal warm up that me and my vocal tutor had created for my vocal techniques specifically. For examlple there is no reason me preparing to sing with my nasal cavity as i cant use it and dont need it so i focus specifically on my thoat and different ways i use it. This takes me another 20 minutes which leave me 20 minutes to get ready to go on stage and be prepared. As a band we had a few problems on stage when it came to cowardinating a good example would be when me and ollie did are call and response he forgot to stop in sections allowing the aspect of call and responce to be used. After noticing this we reacted and i sang less and treated it like a typical solo. What this did was it made the audiance not notice as they hadnt listened to the songs before hand. For future referance as we were both on are knees very close together we could have actually spoke will it was going on and i tolded him obviously without the microphone anywhere near us so it goes through the pa to the audiance because that would look very unproffesional. Luckly we didnt have any big mistakes or any that were noticable and i fought the performance went extremely well.
Are performance went extremely well after talking to the rest of the band and especially from feedback i was given by audiance members and my teachers grading the performance. Firstly, the band as a whole all played the songs as a group amazingly, there were a small amount of mistakes but nothing major and thats bond to happen due to nerves and other reasons. We comunicated as a band really well and were able to show are own colours while performing. A really important thing we wanted to focus on apart from the actual music was stage presence, i believe as a group are band had amazing stage presents and we all seemed very relaxed when i watch the video back and what that does is instantly relax the audiance and make the whole vibe so much better while the performance is going on. On my point i fought my stage presents was very good as i went out into the audiance and interacted with audiance members and i also interacted with the band as was constantly moving around the stage so i believe i exceeded my plans with how i performed the songs.
What i could have done and would do in the future if i have a project like this again is experiment with vocal techniques more and take more risks like belting higher notes than i usually would as there is no pressure for the performance, i would have also wrote more in the first two songs as i helped ash more in them two than do it as a joint job similar to the last two songs of the set were i let my imagination run free. I also would have liked to look more into harmanizing with ash the other vocalist and try to use different pitches and how i can change the songs as i have near to no experiance using harmonys and when we would sing together we would just sing the same note and i now see therte was so much opotunity there so in the future i will look into harmonys as a whole.
Ive learnt that performing the saongs live ist just standing on a stage and playing the music and you actually have to move round the stage and in a way put on a show for the audiance watching. I also now have learnt alot about lyrical writing and when your performing your own music its so much more free and you can in a way do what you want, as a performer who is in a cover band i was able to lear alot about making my own music and i know want to portray part of my career in this part of the industry and i learnt alot doing this project and really enjoyed it.
