TASK 1 Learner’s Name: BTEC Diploma in Performing Arts (Performing) Unit Number Unit Title 101 Singing technique and performance Deadline for Vocal analysis document First draft 27th January 2015 Friday 8th May 2015 (on my desk) Assessment Task 1 Analysis of vocal development Scenario Analyse how vocal exercises can contribute to the development and maintenance of vocal technique with detailed reference to own practice regime Of all the musical instruments the voice is the most personal. Without a physical instrument to hide behind singers can feel exposed and this feeling of bareness is amplified by the fact that in all genres of music the vocalist tends to be central to the ensemble. For actors and dancers working in the area of musical theatre the voice can be a central component of the performance work they undertake. The ability to communicate the meaning of a song is vital to a successful performance. As you are taking part in several a musical performances this year you will need to analyse the importance of vocal exercises and how those exercises contribute to your own practice regime from warm up to vocal extension The following Grading Criteria are covered by this assignment: PASS MERIT DISTINCTION P1 discuss how vocal exercises can contribute to the development and maintenance of vocal technique M1 explain how vocal exercises can contribute to the development and maintenance of vocal technique with reference to own practice regime D1 analyse how vocal exercises can contribute to the development and maintenance of vocal technique with detailed reference to own practice regime Learning Outcomes This assignment will help you work towards achieving the following learning outcomes: Assignment Brief Task GC Evidence required Checklist: (Tick box when complete) You need to produce a written paper that analysis how vocal exercises can contribute to the development and maintenance of vocal technique with reference to own practice regime. The following aspects of vocal technique should be explored in the document: - Correct vowel pronunciation - Breath control and technique - Pitching - Vocal Tone - Projection - Vocal range and quality of the range. You should prepare a personalised vocal technique practice regime. It is important that this regime is individual to your needs as a singer. You will need to have between 8 and 10 different vocal exercises. (An exercise may cover more than one of the areas above) You need to create a written document which describes in detail how to carry out each exercise correctly (use pictures and diagrams to help you demonstrate your understanding). The written document should analyse why these are appropriate exercises for your voice and skills and explain how they will help you develop further as a singer –how do they help you improve specific areas of technique. You should discuss in your document how you apply these exercises in your practice regime – how often should you do them, what observations you should be aware of, can you identify any improvement from carrying out these exercises. 1 Vocal Analysis Document Example Discuss: breathing is semi supine will help with my breath control Explain: semi supine looks like this and helps me to contact my intercostal muscles and diaphragm Analyse: the diaphragm is useful in voice work as it is the muscle that enables my projection and power as well as enabling me to maintain notes for longer as I can control my breath out as well as in.
