Jamie Cullum singing assessment evaluation

Today we performed our final singing assessment unit of the year, Everything You Didn’t Do by Jamie Cullum.

One thing that went well for me was my projection and diction. I feel that when I sing with a big group of people, that naturally my level of projection increases. This is because I feel more confident being one of many voices rather than being one of only a few. Also, I found myself pronouncing my words very well and this helped me to understand the meaning of the lyrics, allowing myself to be able to put to correct amount of emotion and characterisation in to the overall performance of the song. This also allows the audience to understand the lyrics to a high standard.

One thing I could have improved on was my familiarity with the lyrics on the second verse. In the performance, I found myself having to really think about the lyrics to the second verse. To improve on this, I just needed to the look at the lyrics to this verse in closer detail then this would have been resolved.

Something I felt went well for everyone is how we all sounded together. The effect that over 30 voices had was very powerful as the volume was high and therefore, this brought out the confidence in everyone involved.

Overall, I am very happy with how the singing assessment went, both due to my personal efforts and how the whole group performed. I am very proud of everyone and how far they have come this year and pleased to have experience this whole year of musical theatre with them!
