Week 10: Live Performance

Evaluating the performance..

Ok so our performance went pretty well considering.. I think we started off slightly shaky but our confidence grew as the piece went on and our vocals sounded better towards the end when we all came to together in unison. The backing track really helped with making our piece sound more full, we definitely needed something along those lines otherwise us just doing it completely acapella, I feel since there was only 3 of us, it wouldnt have sounded great because although we all have different vocal ranges, we still have sort of similar voices so it was hard to create a very strong harmony line so the added backing was really helpful for us as a group.
Watching the piece back on a recording was beneficial (also very cringy!!) to see how we could improve on group performances in the future, I think on behalf of my group, we are proud of what we created, as the concept of our idea was pretty strong and different to what the other groups had come up with, I just think that we needed more time in order to create stronger harmonies and to ensure that all of those were in key as some of the notes sometimes sounded abit off. Confidence was another thing, although it grew throughout the piece, it would have made the audience feel a lot better if they could tell the performers were confident about the piece they were about to perform and not looking very nervous and sort of just standing there. By adding things like clicks or claps would have allowed for some sort of movement which would have helped I think as we wouldn't have been so focussed about what bit was coming next or when we needed to harmonise and so on..
So yeah, overall it went well just a few minor things that could be improved on if we were to create the piece again in the future.
