Project Proposal
Rationale
Throughout my 7 units I have improved as a singer. This is because the course I am on we have to practise nearly every day with the other members of my company. I have learnt a lot more since being on this course such as, confidents in my stage performance and my singing, certain songs I sing I can feel the emotions and the power and the meaning of the song that I’m singing and finally improved on my vocal range and breathing. I have also learnt more about the music industry and what it takes to become a recording artist.
Project Concept
The concept for this project which will be recorded and viral remotedly. The reason why it’s got to be like this is because we aren’t aloud in college at the moment dew to a massive virus outbreak around the whole world. So, what my tutor and the rest of my company come up with if we do a show remotely, we will still get graded and then get it recorded. The research I will provide is find cover songs that I want to sing and show them to the rest of my company and then schedule when we can rehearse the songs on a group chat call or a zoom call. I also think we should find some a cappella songs that have really good meaning. This will give an effect to the perforce because when people be watching and listening, they will hear the lyrics and feel the emotion and power in the song. Another song that I think would be a good idea is all of our company singing we are the world by U.S.A for Africa. this song is a really good and powerful song and the message goes to all the people around the world and in Africa and they made this message into a song, there are loads of famous artists in this song such as Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder, Willy Nelson, Michael Jackson, Kenny Rodgers, Bon Jovi, Tina Turner and many other artists. I think this would be a really good song for all of us to sing because of what’s going on in the world at the moment we will all stick together and stand by each other and I think if people hear us sing this song the will be every happy and they will probably carrying on listening to us.
Evaluation
I will be using this Tumblr site to evaluate my work weekly, any videos I have of my group rehearsing will go on here, my daily blogs my action plan and also my, weekly evaluation, and also anything me and my group have problems with I’ll put on here as well. I will be showing lots of research on here so that I know what I got to do and how I’m going to do it and perform it and look up different versions of the songs I’m going to sing. I will make sure I’m not getting distracted and disturbing others to learn. I will be focused and more on board than I have in the previous projects.
Project action plan and timetable
My plan for the project over the next upcoming weeks is that I will make sure I’m on time to any zoom calls, make sure I’m up to date with all my work, to make sure I reach my deadlines so I’m not falling behind on my work, and also to make sure I’m not late to any meetings or rehearsals and to make sure I’m always researching because this will benefit me in progressing. My responsibilities are to make sure everyone in my band has got something to work on and to make sure if I need any backing vocals/harmonies needed and also to make sure I learn all the song in time.
Proposed research sources and bibliography (Harvard format)
I will be looking into cover materials that fits into the project theme. I will also be using YouTube to find my research and also google to find out some information on the song I will using the Harvard method which is for example this video I have posted.

This is a different scale to what we normally do this guy just focuses on males only so where before I was listening to a women doing scales but I find this one more easier to do

I found this video and I found it useful. The way he was explaining it and demonstrating and then your trying it out yourself it actually works and helps.
I’m going to use this method in the future so when I sing higher it won’t hurt my voice

This is a good vocal warm up because it gets higher and higher and it will warm up your voice so you will be able to reach higher notes without straining your voice and damage your voice/throat.
If I do this everyday it will be more easier to sing higher songs because my voice will be warm and also it will be more easier to sing certain songs

This is a song I would like to be able to sing (when I was your man by Bruno Mars). It’s a different genre to what I normally sing and it’s higher than I normally sing and also it’s a different style of music. It would be good for me to sing more song like this because then it will give me more song to sing than my ones already.
I’m going to reaserch vocal warm ups so I am able to sing high and also scales so I will be able to reach the note

In this video it explained about how Ed Sheeran writes his melody’s, and it showed me that he uses the same notes in all of his songs but changes them around.
This video also told me about imagery and the way you picture him what he get up to in his spare time because of his appearance.
I found this video useful because it told me that I can use the same notes/chords if I want to and my favourite chords/notes are the 50 progression chords but with this I can change different keys so it don’t sound the same.
I also learnt that imagery is a big part of the industry because it is the way you represent yourself for example everyone knows the weekend for his hairstyle. And that is something I could use but with my clothing and slick back hair to make a good image

Presentation task 1
Hip hop
The song I chose for this genre is changes by 2 pac. The reason why I chose this is because this song has a powerful lyrical message about racism, drugs, gang violence and poverty and 2 pac was trying to get across that everyone should get together and make a change. A verse that stands out to me is “ I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth living should I blast myself? I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch”. The reason why this verse stands out to me is because it shows how hard it was for black people in the 90s and sometimes there was no other alternative except to break the law so they could survive.
I liked the way he conveyed his message in a talented formed of art instead of using violence or aggression to get his message across and to be heard by millions of people across the world and tried to create a real impact of change around the world.

80s pop
The songs I chose for this genre is never gonna give you up by Rick Astley.The reason why I chose this song is because it’s a popular song for all ages, it a dance song where people can dance to it and also the lyrics in the song people can relate to it. The lyrical message is never gonna give you up, so it’s telling that person that they can trust them.
I like the way this song is a love song and a pop song at the same time. And you can tell it’s a pop song because of its beat and it’s a tunnne.

Action plan 2
My action plan for this week is to make sure all of the songs we got given are finished so that we can show them next Friday and also to work on the notes me and my band got given, once we done this then we will move on to look at other songs we can do for the gig.
The research I’m gonna do for this week is to look into other song for me and my group to do and also to find videos of live performers of the song I look at and also to learn the backing vocals of the songs.
My aim for this week is to make sure I know what I’m singing/ doing and also know the structure of the songs.
