Project title:
"The website to start my career"
Written proposal: (see presentation attached)

# data[].attributes.body
The route I have taken through the course has been based around showing my best skills through every topic. For example, my recording and producing skills, technical skills, vocal skills and presentation skills. These personal skills have influenced my final project idea because they all fit in to it well as I am going to make a website to promote myself for my wedding and event singing career. In order to make my website, I will need the technical and presentation skills to form the base of the website and to create the content of the website I will need the vocal and recording and producing skills, to create the recordings I am going to put on my website. This all fits in with my aims and aspirations as in my future career I would want to be able to use my vocal skills but in a smaller venue (aka; weddings and events) rather than large events such as gigs and concerts, and I feel like this project will be a great start to promoting myself towards my career.

A problem I am likely to face in this project is lack of motivation is the lockdown becomes extended because of COVID-19 worsening. In order to prevent this, I will try to keep myself motivated whatever the consequences of COVID-19 are. I will do this by as creating routines and not allowing myself to sit down and do nothing valuable with the day for too long as it can become a habit.

In my project the practical elements included are recording songs and making the website. The materials this will require are my laptop, my I pad, my recording equipment: microphone, audio interface, cables, mic stand, pop filter. Processes involved will be the recording process and the website making process the resources I will need is a recording program (I will be using Adobe Audition) and a website maker (I will be using wix). I will need to develop my recording and mixing abilities so I can get the recordings to the highest quality possible as its for professional purposes.

I am going to evaluate, reflect and keep track of my progress by keeping a constant log in the final major project lesson log folder. I will write about my weekly progress and be critical of my work to make sure I’m sticking to my action planner times and be able to make improvements as I go on. I will also use my tutors’ feedback to help with my final evaluation at the end of my project.

I intend to present my final major project on padlet and link my final product (website) to wix, as it is what I am going to create the website for my project on so I will be able to present it easily on the program the project is originally made on and it will be open to access by my tutors by using a Wix link through padlet that they can access it on at any time. I also believe that Wix and padlet will be able to present my project clearly and professionally.

This week I focused on my planning for my website and created a set list of songs that I could possibly record and then include in my website. I also started my music artist bio

# data[].attributes.body
This week I have completed my music artist bio and have started my SWOT analysis on section 1.

# data[].attributes.body
This week I did my final project presentation and then I finished my SWOT analysis and went into college to talk about how to do my research task and I wrote down notes to help me.

# data[].attributes.body
This week I edited my final project presentation as there were a few things my tutor thought I should add in to help get a better grade and make the information clearer. I added in website specific ps to show I knew what I’m going to do with my website. I then started my research task using the notes I made in college last week.

This week I finished my research task and did a teams meeting with my tutor to present my research presentation online. My tutor gave me feedback on what I had done well and how I had completed my research task to a level of high merit he then gave me some things I can include in the presentation that would put my tasks level up to distinction. I also recorded myself singing the song At Last by Etta James to include in my website.

This week I edited my research task so I could get the tasks grade up to a distinction level. I added in more songs that are used in wedding singing and explained why it was part of my research and I also added in relevant website analysis. This research task has benefitted me in the sense that I now have a much further knowledge of the wedding and event singing industry and I know what to include in my website to make it successful. This further knowledge will also make my project journey a lot easier and less stressful.

This week I started making my wedding & event singing website. I used my research presentation to remember what I need to include in my website in order to make it look professional and have a successful outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
This week I finished off my website as much as I possibly could with the time I had left to complete the project. I also made my padlet display board to collect all my work into one easily accessible place.

# data[].attributes.body
After completing my final project piece, I have realised that there is still work that needs to be done on the website in order to display it on the internet as an up and running business which I will continue to complete after education hours, as it is going to be a stepping stone into my aspired future career. I have included all of the most important components that all together produce a successful wedding and event singing website. Such as; Good Logo, Eye-catching home page, 'about me' page/bio, contact page, services/events page, book online page, testimonial page, recording/vocal samples. The things I will continue to add after the project is over is, more vocal recordings, photos of myself, testimonials, Domain name.
Overall, I am happy with the outcome of my final project as it was a great way for me to form a bridge from the end of my college education to the start of my singing career. I feel as though from this project, I have learnt so much about the career path I want to take which has made me much more confident for the future.
