16/01/15- singing with Kim

Today, Jess and I had some time with Kim to rehearse our duet song for the show case. We have chosen to sing the song 'I dreamed a dream' taken from the musical, Les Miserable. We decided to sing this song rather than any of the other three options we has planned, stated in my last singing post, because we felt it was more suited to our voices and we also felt we needed to challenge ourselves. 

We worked out which parts of the song we would sing, the lyrics are below. 

Going by paragraphs, 

1) both

2) me

3) Jess 

4) me 

5) Jess 

6) both 

With Kim, we sung the song through once to determine which parts we needed to work on and for what reasons. We worked on projection and th time of our notes in certain places. The speaking part at the beginning needs to be soft and staccato. Whereas the singing parts are of a higher volume and legato. 

We worked on the intonation also and perfecting our breathe control so that the song sounds as it should. 

Here is the video we are working off of;
