Fusenight Rsl; Wednesday 22nd nNov For my Performance in the Fusenight I decided to sing the song ,,Someone like you'' from Adele. I wanted to sing that song, because it had a really high voice bit in the chorus and I wanted to improve my higher voice. In my rehearse, it was hard for me to sing so high. But my music teacher gave me some tips, e.g. sitting straight and take a deap breath before I sing that bit. It was a bit easier afterwards to sing it, still not perfect but I think when I try it more often I will improve. I think what was good on my performance, I wasn't to nervous. What I should have do to look in the audience and not on the floor. At the beginning of my rehearsal I wanted to sing a different song. This song was a bit easier to sing and there where no higher bits. But because I wanted to improve my voice it was better sing the song from Adele.

Evaluation Formula I played the guitar and played the song ,,numb'' by Linking Park. It was a Solo. What went well was that I played almost fluently. My timing was okay. I just messed up one bit at 0:53 because my hand were trembling.  What I am the most happy with is that is remembering the song. I`m not so happy with my performance because I couldn't show the expression which I normally play in this song. I looked on the guitar the whole time but I think it was a good experience. I also think I was to much into it in learning the because it made me more nervous, before I had the performance. Before I will have my next performance i will improve my stage presence and make eye contact with the audience more. i also would like to build up more confidence in order to sing whilst accompanying myself.
