Audition One
Evaluation
I was not very pleased with the performance of the audition as I had some intonation issues because I sometimes sung notes a little bit flat or sharp. Also at the end I acted nervous and went out of tune. However, throughout my performance I was loud and carried my voice well, as well as being in time and having good rhythm. I was also in tune during most of my performance and had a nice tone. Next time I will have a backing track or accompaniment and be confident throughout my whole audition.

In this performance I think I did better than the first time I performed the song and did not miss as many mistakes. Additionally, I projected a lot more and had slightly better stage presence. On the hand I still did go a little off pitch at some points throughout my performance.
