Acis & Galatea: Damon

Finally, the first of my three concerts is DONE!

Strange things do happen.

I have two arias.
The one that I usually did better in ("Would you gain the tender creature") turned out worse...I forgot the words (but I guess it's not too obvious to the audience) and almost missed one entrance! I am glad "Shepherd, what art thou pursuing" went quite well!

Through the video recordings, I have clearly improved since a year back...BUT...


1. I moved too much (so much so that it is very difficult to take photos of me).2. I was so preoccupied with acting that I severely compromised my posture (lifted my head too much; leaned too much backward, etc.). In recitals where acting is not encouraged, I believe I am much more conscious of being in a correct posture.

...so...I had problems holding my phrases and so on and so forth...(It's hard enough that I am singing so high...now I make it harder for myself by being in a bad posture.)

All in all, a WONDERFUL learning experience!

...a timely LESSON...Love and Live III - Three's Company...will be great!
