Decades performance. CHECK.

The decade's performance was okay, I feel like with more preparation, time and commitment it could have been great. I did forget the words a couple of times due to nerves but I enjoyed myself. I put my confident Ellie persona on and rocked it (some may say) I received good feedback from friends and family saying I looked really confident! I tried to be as optimistic as possible due to the unfortunate circumstances our band was put in. I feel something I will have appreciated was backing vocals as I feel like this was the reason most of the songs sounded empty.

Personal Feedback:

Days before the gig I lost my voice due to excessive practice (note to self: don't do that again)
fortunately, it was just about back for the gig but did affect some of the pitching. I feel like I could have practised a bit more in my spare time (my time management is still a work in progress.) I also feel like I let the stress of getting the better of me, I was more focused on getting everybody together and let myself go a little bit. I am tempted to write every little thing that I did wrong but instead, I'm going to keep a balanced mind and put together a positive and negative list reflecting back to my negotiated learning plan.

Positives -

• Using my head voice is something I considered a weakness but I feel like I have improved a substantial amount.
• I have taken my stage presence a step up from my last gig.
• Using accurate phrasing and my own twist when necessary.

Negative - 

• I forgot my lyrics a couple of times (but did my best not to show that I did)
• I didn't always remember to prepare my posture.
• Some slight pitching issues.

I have learnt some valuable lessons in this time and one lesson I have certainly learnt is communication is the key for a successful performance.
