Performance management

Every Fall in the state of Iowa, thousands of music students spend several months preparing to audition for the All-State music festival. As a senior I wanted to walk into the audition room knowing that I could give the best performance I was capable of and hopefully make it into All-State. The summer before my senior year, I put aside my shyness and started taking voice lessons. My voice teacher told me at every lesson to come back better than today.

An Octoroon Performance Critique I had the opportunity to attend Theatre UCF’s production of An Octoroon at the UCF Theatre in Orlando, Florida.

We recited our masterpiece, and lots of changes were necessary to ensure that the viewer had no difficulty understanding our play. One of my suggestions to the group was that we emphasize that our play was not a professional performance.
