Vocal endurance: In terms of endurance in the two songs, it was more erratic. This week's practice made me realize that my singing stability in these two songs is not as good as last week, and the pitch is also easy to go out of tune.

Emotional expression: Standing singing seems to improve the performance effect. When singing while standing, bringing out the lyrics, bringing myself in, and adding some movements of hands will make it easier for me to invest your emotions.

Pronunciation: The pronunciation has improved a lot. Whether it is "Kirari" or "How to do", the lyrics are basically familiar, and can sing without the lyrics.

Vocal endurance: The use of Dantian in the song "Kirari" still needs to be strengthened. At present, the only part I am familiar with is the melody line, and the performance in the Chinese song "How to do" is far from the expected effect.

Emotional expression: I have not been able to fully devote myself to the emotional expression of both songs. I am currently just singing along with the songs.

Pronunciation: The lyrics of "Kirari" have been memorized, but I still rely on the lyrics habitually, and I will hold the lyrics in my hands during band practice. As for the Chinese song "How to do", since it is a Chinese song, I don't need to spend too much time memorizing the lyrics. I only need to listen to the melody line a few more times to remember the general lyrics.

Vocal endurance: The use of Dantian is relatively stable. The two songs have become stable under the support of Dantian, but in "How to do", the vocal performance is more erratic and needs to be strengthened.

Emotional expression: I haven't been able to put myself into the two songs, which is very confusing for me, because I don't know how to invest emotions, so I can only master the song skills first.

Pronunciation: In "Kirari", I have basically gotten used to the pronunciation. Although I can't compare with Japanese people 100%, I generally remember how to pronounce it; and "How to do" is even more so. I just need to be familiar with the lyrics and strengthen a few pronunciation parts.

Vocal endurance: Achieve consistent use of the lower abdomen throughout entire performances. Maintain vocal stability and breath control, even in the most demanding parts of the songs.

Emotional expression: Fully integrate emotional expression with vocal technique and physical movement. Deliver performances that feel authentic and deeply connected to the lyrics, with body language that enhances the storytelling.

Pronunciation: Ensure three songs “Human Nature”, "Kirari" and "How to Do" are sung with perfect pronunciation. Focus on clarity and enunciation, ensuring every word is understood by the audience while maintaining the natural flow of the music.

Achieving Fluency and Muscle Memory

One of my main goals is to achieve fluency in my breathing points and ensure they become muscle memory. In the last week, I noticed that my breathing became more instinctive and integrated into my singing. These exercises have brought me one step closer to achieving my goals. Practice makes perfect.

Emotional Connection and Expression

Throughout the practice program, I wanted to express the emotional connection of the lyrics and convey a sense of love and sweetness in my songs. In this last week of practice, if I don’t achieve a lot of expression, I want to ensure that at least this performance is relaxed because nervousness will negatively affect my performance.

Stability and Lower Abdominal Support

Using my lower abdomen (Dantian) to support my breathing has been a focus for me. During this week, my singing was not always stable, but I was able to sing more smoothly, with a more consistent tone and better breath control when using my lower abdomen because I was better at handling my breathing points.

Incorporating Body Movements

Enhancing my stage presence through incorporating body movements was another important goal. This week, I tried to adjust my mental state to stay relaxed and have fun in order to integrate these movements more naturally, which would help express my stage performance.

Final Thoughts

Looking back, week 14 expressed my dedication to these three songs. The combination of each element of my practice plan created a more nuanced, confident, and expressive performance. I see the progress I have made and am grateful for the structure this plan has provided.

As I move forward, I will continue to build on this foundation, push myself further, and explore new musical challenges. This reflection not only marks the end of an important chapter but also the beginning of a new journey full of potential and growth. I’m eager to see where my continued practice and passion for music will take me.
