Wilkommen evaluation

Not watching it back-

Personally, I am quite happy with my overall performance. In the week I didn't even want to perform it in front of people so I was so happy that I found a bit of confidence so that I could perform it in front of a little audience. I feel as though my projection in my singing was really good and I was able to hold all of the notes, especially the last one,

Although, I feel as though I could have been a bit more like my character and used acting more in it instead of just singing and dancing. I think because I was so nervous I just wanted to get it done quickly and I didn't think about characteristics. I also missed out a little bit of the dance, which annoyed my so much because dance is my strongest out of the three! I was happy that I was able to pick it up against quickly and didn't act like I messed up. I also feel as though I could interacted more with the audience but again this was down to confidence.

Watching it back-

Self evaluation-

From watching my performance back, i think that my overall performance was okay. I think that i had remembered all of the lyrics well as i did not forget any of them.  Also, i was in tune for all of the performance whilst i was singing and i think that i held that last note really well as it was a long note. I also think that i had good projection as i feel as though all the audience could hear me. Furthermore, i think that i had good hand gestures and body movement throughout, I remembered all of the dance well and i think i performed it well even though i didn't like some of the dance moves i kept practising them so i got better at them. My interaction with the cabaret girls was limited but i think that when i did interact with them it was good.

Personally, i was annoyed with myself when i forgot a tiny section of the dance but i picked it up quickly which was good. Also, i think that i should have interacted more with the audience but i know i didn't because i did not have the confidence to go out to them and talk to them.  Also, when i was doing the speaking parts i always finished early which meant i was speaking fast so i needed to slow down whilst i was talking.Furthermore, i think i could have been more like my character and been more creepy. Overall, i feel as though i needed more confidence with this performance but i did loose a lot of my confidence with this piece because it was out of my comfort zone.  

Peer evaluation-

I got my peer feedback from my e-BUDDY, Nikola. She said that i had a good use of voice with a slight accent which was portraying my character and i also remembered all of my words which was really good. She also said that i had good and smooth movements of hands and it was seductive and elegant. She said that i was in time with the music and i remembered the choreography. Nikola also said that i had a good use of dynamics, she gave an example of when we was whispering i had good body language in order to emphasise it.

To improve, Nikola said that i need to have contact with the audience and interact with them to show that i have more confidence and not show that i am nervous. She also said that i need to use more facial expressions and make my movements a bit bigger.

Teacher review of skills

Liz gave me some really good feedback which I know I need to do within my piece. My first piece of constructive criticism is that I need to have more confidence in what I am doing and not worry about it. My second piece of constructive criticism was that I need to keep a straight face but without seeming bland and bored, I know that I find it hard to keep a straight face throughout performances so I need to work on this. My last piece of constructive criticism is that I need to balance out my charceter more and become more like my character. At the minute I think that I am just singing the song so I need to make sure I am like my character.

Wilkommen- Self and peer assessment

I feel that my skills are beginning to increase and i am starting to get stronger in certain areas. I feel as though the more i rehearse and go over the song the more i am getting better at it and the more confidence i am getting. I do not feel confident with this song at all so i feel as though i need to put extra effort in to make sure i am doing the best that i can. My peer has given me positive criticism which i know i need to work on. She said that i had a good projection and i am good at looking up and holding the notes. She also said that i knew the dance well but obviously we need to finish it off so that the whole dance is learnt. She said that i need to be more like the character that i am trying portray and be more confident within myself and not be nervous about doing it. The last thing she said as just to keep practicing and make sure i know it off by heart.
