We added harmonies to Falling Slowly

We also performed our solos. I was feeling under the weather and so I feel my performance standard dipped noticeably from the last time I performed "I'm Here", which was reflected in the feedback I received. Comments mainly focused on my lack of engagement with the audience; my eyes were closed for the majority of the song and I stood neutral throughout rather than exploring the performance space as I had before.

To develop my performance I will recap the lesson in which we were taught about the "circles of attention" and use those points to work on my eye line as well as how freely I move around the stage and utilise as much of the space as possible so that the story of the lyrics is conveyed as much through my body language as with my voice.

I will also reference my lyric sheet which I annotated using the tips learnt on the circles of attention and from there develop gestures I could incorporate into the performance to make it more interesting, visually to watch.
