Just finished a little rehearsal for my show tomorrow night at The Perfect 5th in Taunton.
I was away at the weekend meaning I didn't practise once. When I played guitar yesterday evening, things weren't sounding as flexible as they usually do before a gig. I can usually perform well straight out of the bag, but I know that with a week or twos rehearsal, warming up my voice and focusing my mind on the task in hand, I can perform a thousand times better.
Thankfully after todays rehearsal I'm feeling much more confident. I sometimes find that if I pick up my electric instead of the acoustic, slow things down and really allow my voice to soar amongst the chords, the result is a strong and incredibly controlled vocal delivery. Excellent for gently coaxing my vocal chords into performance mode.
Hopefully tomorrow night will be a good show - I'm looking forward to playing back on home turf.
I will soon be starting work on my proposal for the Appledore Art Festival. I will be documenting every stage in this project both here, and in an audio documentary which will be available on CD, should the project successfully reach its completion.
