Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
PhotoBooth and Google Chrome. My phone.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I know its been said so many times but… Slowing the song down is really the key to learning the song. I also was still having a lot of trouble with OBS so I decided to record the final version with my phone.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I learned that slowing the song the song down really helps when learning the verse. It helps with pronunciation and breath control. It’s good to slow it down to a point where you can almost do it perfectly. In contrast, speeding up past the full speed of the song in some cases can make the normal tempo feel easier.
