Evaluation:
- Strengths of the performance- What were you pleased with? Why?
I was happy that I remembered all my words. It takes me a while to learn lines and because I was nervous, I was scared that I would forget the lyrics. I was also happy that I was able to remember when the song changed for low to high, as i normally have to read the music when practising the song, as I forget what I am doing. I was also pleased that i managed to get through the whole song without messing up.

- Weakness of the performance- What could have been improved? Why?
I think I needed to show more emotion when singing. This couldn't be seen as I was looking at the floor the whole time.  I need to connect with the song more, so the audience believe what I am singing. I also need to practise my breathing more, so I am able to take a big breath before reaching the high notes. I need to feel more confident when singing the song, because otherwise it could effect my performance, as I keep thinking about the high notes that are coming up.

- Link to your practise routine- Did your practise routine leading up to the performance prepare you effectively? If not, why?
When i practise I find it really easy, however as soon as I perform it infront of anyone I panic, as i worry to much about what people think. To improve this i need to perform the song in front of people more regularly so i feel more confident with people hearing the song. I need to do more warm up vocal exercises so it is easier for me to reach the high notes without worrying about it. I need to start thinking more that i can do it instead of doubting myself.

- What have you learnt from the experience and what will you change about your practise routine to develop further?
Next time i perform, i will try and show more emotion in the song. When i spoke to people this is what they said i needed to do, because they didn't believe my performance. In my practise routine i will do more higher vocal exercises to make me more comfortable with the high notes. I need to do more breathing exercises so i don't run out off breath when singing.
