When we first started singing lessons I didn't have the confidence in singing on my own, it made me feel vulnerable and well out of my comfort zone. Having the lessons and the two assessments that meant I had to perform in front of the class on my own helped me so much, I had to do it to be able to even sing a solo line on my own. Now in Bye Bye Birdie I feel confident in singing a solo line and do not hesitate to do so. At the beginning I was nervous when we was rehearsing the songs in lesson because when I sang I felt like all eyes were on me but then I thought about it deeply and realised that everyone else must have been nervous too and that were in it together not to put each other down. My problem was that when I was singing I wasn't using my diaphragm and so when I was singing it wasn't as strong as it could be, having the vocal warm ups and breathing exercises helped me with using my diaphragm and being able to reach certain notes and producing a nice sound. Confidence is a big key when it comes to singing, if the confidence isn't there and you don't believe you can do it, you wont go for the big note and you wont sing loud enough. I now have confidence thanks to the singing lessons that we have had and even singing the little parts in bye bye birdie on my own is a big achievement for me. These two video clips show both, not having the confidence and then just going for it and believing in yourself.
