Vocal Audit

 

Name:  Chloe calvesbert

Singing Project – Early vocal audit – September 2020 

Unit 26/M1

Analyse strengths and weaknesses of own vocal technique.

 

Use the following information for your ratings:  

1	Weak (few strengths and many areas for development, inconsistent)
2	Fair (some strengths and some areas for development, mostly consistent)
3	Good (many strengths and few areas for development, consistent)
4	Excellent (no areas for development, fully consistent)

 

Copy and paste this tick to the appropriate box: ✔ 

Before watching your solo back on blogger, rate yourself on the following: 

Skill/Technique	1	2	3	4	How could you improve this rating?
Breath control			✔		By being able to evenly let out my breath over a longer period.
Projection			✔		Improving the projection on high notes.
Diction and articulation		✔			Do more tongue twisters to help improve my diction on some words in songs that get lost.
Pitching				✔	I have no issues that I know of when it comes to pitching.
Timing		✔			Improve shorter length notes, don’t hold on to long to notes if not needed.
Quality of tone		✔			I am not fully aware how good I am with quality of tone, but I believe there is room to improve this by practicing.
Ability to remember the words/lyrics			✔		I can remember what I am singing quite quickly but could be better on some things, so learn and re read lines more.

 

Now watch back the solo video and rate yourself: 

Skill/Technique	1	2	3	4	Justify your choice.
Breath control			✔		Ran out of breath quite quickly sometimes
Projection				✔	Very loud and accurate with words
Diction and articulation			✔		Could be better with some words
Pitching		✔			It could be worked on in some areas of the song
Posture		✔			Had a straight back, but I was sitting down so the whole signing position could be improved and stand-up next time
Quality of tone			✔		It was clear and understandable
Body language		✔			A bit close in could be worked on and more open
Confidence				✔	Very confident in what I am singing

 

 

 

 

Based on what you have learnt in the lesson about diction and articulation, analyse the strengths and weaknesses or your own technique from the solo you uploaded to blogger and suggest how to improve your performance of this solo if you were to repeat it.

If I had to re-do this singing solo, I would make sure that I was 100% certain on what I was saying and the lyrics to this song as some of the words that I sung were slightly muffled or did not make sense. When it comes to the strengths of this singing solo, I believe that most of the song was clearly sung and was projected well, however it was weak on the body language side and that could be improved along with the posture. So, when it comes to re-doing this solo, I would mainly work on my posture and body language as that was the area that needs to be improved the most.
