Now the real work of “Performing” a song begins!
The three questions you must always ask are…
1) What is my “problem” or that I need solved by singing this song. Why am I singing?
• Ex. “I am ANGRY and I think I’m going to hurt someone”
• “I am SAD and can’t stop crying”
• “I am so HAPPY that I can’t stop laughing…”
2) Who is my partner?
• Your partner is the one who you believe can solve your “problem”
• Your partner can be present (if they are on stage with you) OR they can be implied (if you partner is off stage, or is you “alter-ego” or “God” etc.)
3) What do I perceive the solution to my problem to be?
• What do I want my partner to DO to solve my problem?
• What will I DO to work toward that solution from moment to moment? (Tactics) Vocal dynamics and color will grow out of this.
• In some songs you may resolve the problem… in others you won’t.
• HOWEVER, even if you never get it by the end of the song, never stop fighting for your solution!
