ok i had to perform at the jurong bird park,i was doing a singing performance.in collaboration with earth day,thus i had to do a song with the theme of earth,there was pretty much a variety of songs to choose from,like venessa williams-colours of the wind,phil colins-you'll be in my heart and some other songs relating to the earth theme.So the first step to have a good performance is to choose a song.i had to choose a song that i liked,goes well with the earth theme and something i can relate to pretty well and of course a song that people of all ages would know.thus i decided to go with the disney classic colours of the wind by venessa williams.the next step was to choose the acompaniment which was either a backing track or do an acoustic cover with the song.of course a backing track would be the better choice as i can just concentrate on the singing instead of playing the tune myself.and the backing track would have harmonies which would make the performance more enjoyable.but all the backing track are not in my key,so in the end i had to go with the acoustic version.and to do so i had to use my guitar to play.i have to go find the chords to the song,i found it at www.ultimate-guitar.com the key given was also not right,so i had to transpose it into my key,after the transposition i have to get use to playing the chords on my guitar so that i can play it rather smoothly.after i got used to it i have to listen to the song to hear the rythem of the song,and the overall feeling the song gives me.then i have to memorise the lyrics and the chords of the song. after that i practised a few times and decided to record it to see how i sound like.when i heard it i thought it was pretty much emotionless so i decided to pump in more emotion into my performance so that i can make it more interesting.So yar i practised a few more times and i got the hang of performing the song.on the day of the actual performance,i woke up early to do some vocal warm ups to get my voice going,without proper warm ups i cannot perform to my full potential.i was pretty nervous,so i calmed myself down,and so i went to perform.well overall the performance was pretty much ok,i was nervous,but i did try my best,though i believe that i could do way better.my reflections are that at least im doing what i enjoy doing best,performing.And afterall im doing it for a good cause to promote earth day.and i did enjoy myself very much singing.so yar i think that it was really a great experience.
