I spoke clearly and managed to say most of what I had planned. I think people seemed to enjoy the song and the animation. As I said in the introduction, this is the first time i have ever written and produced a song myself, so I am very proud of the outcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How could I improve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching back the animation, it could&#8217;ve been slightly more interesting, especially during the first half of the song. I think if I do a similar project again, I will make a few more subtle changes to the animation, as this will hopefully make it more engaging to the audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I did manage to say a lot of what I planned, I initially forgot to say who was singing on the song. Once I went off stage I got a little stressed that I forgot to mention probably one of the most important things. However, Nic encourage me to go back on stage after the song was over and say what I forgot to say at the start. This relieved a lot of stress even though it was a simple mistake and a simple solution. Next time, if I have to speak in front of the audience at a showcase, I will practise what I am going to say more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Final Showcase 3\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iL_c1LgNfpQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Someone Like You Final Performance<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Someone Like You&#8217; &#8211; 3:40-8:10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What went well?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this performance, I think I managed to control my dynamics quite well, especially after the bridge\/during the breakdown of the final chorus. It has been a few years since I last performed a song with just me and a singer but I think it was a good performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How could I improve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a few times where my finger slipped and I ended up playing the wrong note. There were also points where I played the song a bit too fast. I think both of these were down to nerves. To improve this for the future, I should practise some exercises to calm my nerves prior to going on stage. My finger slipping could&#8217;ve also been due to the heat on stage, which is out of my control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pedal was also slipping throughout the final performance which did put me off a little bit as sometimes I was focusing more on that than playing. To improve this in future performances, I will try make the pedal a little bit more secure so it doesn&#8217;t slide on stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;cherry blossoms&#8217; &#8211; 20:40-25:05 What went well?
