Final Project

My final project is still in the works. I am going to be singing a song but I am also going to be attempting to put some acting behind it and act out what the people in the song are saying. I feel like this is a good project for me because I will be taking lyrics and interpreting them in my own way which I feel is really new and something I haven't tried before. I feel like it will be good practice with improvisation and that it will be good practice with using body movement in music as a whole which will be good preparation for the upcoming musical. I am not sure what song I am going to sing but I am going to try and do something that I am at least a little bit familiar with because I feel like if I do a song that I understand that I will be able to come up with improv movements and dance easier. My project is not only trying to fit moves to lyrics, its trying to evoke even more emotion then the song itself does by including moves and dances that are emotionally active in nature. In terms of genre of music I am looking for something bluesy or sad because I feel like I resonate more to those types of songs and I feel like it would be easier to put moves to lyrics easier because I can understand them better. I might also like to do a monologue because I enjoy taking a monologue that was said by a character and creating my own character and taking those words and making them my own. I maybe would also like to do a duet singing piece with either Linda or Chrissy because I feel like in terms of harmonizing with other voices I could use some practice and I feel like it would be fun to do a duet with another singer.
