Today we started by going over seasons of love to make sure we don't forget it. We then began working on the title song 'Rent' which I personally love. The song is simply about how they struggle to pay rent. From this, I can gather that the characters could be a little stressed since they're always being hassled about the rent, and also quite annoyed that they can't pay for heating and it's the middle of winter. I tried to incorporate these emotions into the song vocally (since we only rehearsed vocals). I feel I did this fairly well, however I could have done better had I known the song better. One problem with me is that it takes me a very long time (longer than most) to learn a song - this plays much to my disadvantage because we are expected to learn a song in one lesson; this is definitely something I have and will be working on. Vocally, I don't find this song very hard, I am again focussing on supporting my voice from my diaphragm however I am constantly being told that I'm straining and not supporting properly which is very frustrating because I am practicing vocals every night at home.
