Viva voce examination essay

How I practiced for my recital is that,I had first selected the songs which would be Suitable for me and also which didn't have any backing vocals. After Selecting songs,I started practicing and rehearsing them and practicing to make a 25 minute performance while practicing for the final Recital. In my mock recital,I sang Castle of Glass by Linkin Park and wake me up when September ends by Green Day,I got a good feedback which Is why I performed these songs with other four songs for my Recital.My mock recital feedback was that I shouldn't stretch the phrases for long and find more shape in the phrases.Besides this feedback,In January when It was the time to prepare for the actual recital,Whenever Philip meaning you had asked,Who would like to Sing,I raised my hand and gave a mock performance and get a feedback to how I sang and whether this song was a good choice for me or not to perform for the recital. Why I wanted to do this is because,I felt that this was the time to prepare for the recital as part of the assignment and everyone is singing one of their songs and It was the only time before the recitals for the teacher to give feedback as to how to do better.

Similarly the week before my Mock recital,I sang wake me up when September ends,My feedback was that I shouldn't tap my foot as it will be distracting,Instead,I should tap my finger on the microphone and tap my left hand on my lap/leg which I did in my final recitals. In my recitals,I didn't stretch the phrases of the songs which I sang for my recital and especially the Hindi Song Dhooba Dhooba rehta hoon,In the end of that I let the music flow and it sounded good. In treat you better,I sang the phrase 'Better than he can in a lower octave rather than a higher octave because  We had to sing better than he can and immediately I had to sing the next part like from one phrase after the other. However,I feel that ,I was confident for doing well in this assignment and especially,for singing in my recital. I practiced a lot in my free time and for the next assignment,I can do even more better in the group performance as I will be working as a music ensemble.
