I had my second performance at Kingston in my acting class this semester, which was different from the first time I was onstage, when I was very nervous. And now I can obviously feel that my tension has been greatly reduced. Through this semester's study and teacher's guidance, I feel that a good performance is composed of many factors, such as excellent music appreciation, good mood, natural movements and good skills. I also realized that performance is not a passive presentation of musical works by performers, but requires a full understanding of the works and emotional performance.
In the performance of this semester, I found many shortcomings of myself, one of which is that I love to do small actions in the performance, such as pulling pants. This is a sign of nervousness and lack of confidence, and I haven't completely eliminated the nervousness in the performance. Another bad thing is the posture in the performance. I watched the video of the performance repeatedly and found that my performance was not natural at times. Maybe a deeper commitment will correct this.

I asked my acting teacher some questions about Expressive Performance. The answer given by the teacher has the following elements: First, a good performer must have good professional skills, which can fully show their professional skills and ability in the performance. Second, learn to adjust their nervous emotions, there are many ways to relieve tension, deep breathing is a good way, it can help performers relax themselves. Third, pay attention to the performance in daily study and practice. I can imagine facing many audiences when practicing in the piano room, so that I can pay attention to the performance. When I perform on the stage, It is just like practicing in the piano room in daily life. Finally, knowing the content and emotion of the song I'm singing can make my performance more infectious, bring myself into the song, and add some gestures and movements.

In the video is my favorite baritone Hvorostovsky, I choose this video because of his emotional singing and relaxed attitude. You can see that Hvorostovsky is putting himself in the song, imagining himself as the character in the song.
As Cohen and Bodner (2019) showed, a large number of music performers suffer from the phenomenon of musical performance anxiety.
A large number of music performers have the phenomenon of anxiety in music performance, which has a very adverse effect on performance. An effective way to eliminate this kind of anxiety is to have sufficient confidence in their own professional level. In the usual practice, I should make a profound and strict analysis of the teacher's guidance and opinions, and carefully figure out and practice after class. Another way is to immerse yourself in your work and enjoy the performance rather than passively presenting it.

Listening is a very important thing for music performers. This article expounds the importance of hearing for musicians and the seriousness of hearing damage. A musician's sense of hearing is the best tool to judge timbre and pitch. The article describes the causes of hearing loss and the ways to prevent it.
Music practitioners are at greater risk of hearing loss than the general population. This can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus and total deafness, because music practitioners are exposed to instruments or voices for long periods of time. I often wear headphones to listen to the accompaniment of my songs, so I am very interested in this topic. I can reduce the frequency of wearing headphones or use a lower volume to reduce the risk of hearing damage, and I can choose the area with sound absorbers to practice with the band.
I need to learn to protect my hearing system in my daily life, and carrying earplugs is a good way to do that. Another point is to minimize exposure to noisy interactions, such as nightclubs and motorcycle riding. It is the basic task of music practitioners to protect their hearing system. We need to exercise their keen ability of timbre pitch. We need to understand the risks associated with professional activities and implement practical ways to reduce them so that we can reduce the risk of hearing loss and teach a new generation of musicians to do the same.

I chose this article because it has a lot to say about the health and disease prevention of vocal singers, and how to treat the voice. It is mentioned in the article that the vocalization of singing is quite different from that of everyday speech. So the reasonable use of singing skills is very important.
When I was in class, I would warm up fully before singing my songs, because a full warm up would help me find the right voice position and adjust my breathing. I can also conduct voice training before performing on stage, which can ensure my state when performing on stage and effectively relieve the tension during the performance. On the other hand, rest at the right time and don't over strain your voice. In performance, when we are singing multiple songs, we can choose to introduce the next song between each song, so as to relax our voice, which also has a beneficial effect on relieving tension.
In the final performance, I can warm up in the piano room before going on stage, and then go on stage. Or, after performing each song, give a brief introduction to the next song. The premise is to fully understand what the song wants to express and the feelings contained therein. It's a way to preserve my voice for the rest of my career and to have a good understanding of how to perform better.
