Honesty in Singing

July 02, 2008 4:59 PM

For their Media Performance Class, the scholars had to sing with sincerity in front of the camera.

Direk Joey stressed the need for emotions through the eyes and reminded them to focus on the song. Once they drift off, their blank stare would say much about the song and their performance.

The scholars had the choice of singing “Pagdating ng Panahon” or “Nothing Compares to You”. Iñaki sang the latter and tried to muster up the emotions required for the song. However, he still couldn’t convey the proper feelings and was instructed to have more pleasing eyes.

Hansen volunteered himself next which had Direk Joey giggling at the bold attempt. Though the camera loved Sen, he appeared too thin and was advised to gain weight before Saturday. His performance wasn’t too great either as he seemed angry with his piercing glare.

Van was too conscious and couldn’t look directly at the camera. There was lack of emotions in his performance and he habitually wrinkled his forehead.

Miguel had that blank stare which Direk Joey warned against while Cris stumped everyone as she added flavor to her performance. The Interior Designer injected her personality in the song and still put in that sexy element.

Bea was a surprise since she was able to internalize the song. The Sweet Chanteusse was naturally sweet and she was advised to capitalize on her young and innocent image.

Bunny on the other hand forgot her lyrics and couldn’t do proper breathing. As she thought of her son and husband, her voice cracked as she sang. Though this could work, since it added to the sincerity, she should learn how to project this and learn when to do it.

At the end of the session, the Performance Master once again reminded them of the opportunity of being in the Academy. Gala Night is drawing near and he expects everyone to have great performances. As for the excess baggage some are carrying, he advised them to channel this to their presentations.

Who among the scholars would be able to heed these advices and prove themselves this Saturday? Be updated with the developments of the dreamers and watch Uberture with Billy!
