The singing did not suit the text, the tone would need to change
Words to difficult
Worlds too boring
Too creepy needs to be more upbeat
Pace needs to be faster
Less rhetorical questions
More then one person saying it
Repeat the last verse more occasionally
The stationary standing is too boring, need performance with our body's as well
Lement , dirge sad songs, funeral song
Anticipate each verse,layer in other sounds
Physical movement with voice
Contextually we can make it fit
Repetitive rhythm to this
Current rhythm not modern
Tiger that came to tea from the 1950s
We are setting it in Victorian
Victorian explorers.
Singing is just talking with extended vouls: eg
Elenor, elenooor.
Toby, tooooobbby.
Keep soft neck
Not forcing water off vocal cords
We did a singing exercise, sir sang the song and then we repeated, it was quite difficult to do as not many of us have singing training, we had to relax out throat to make sure we didn't hurt them, it helped us because we need to know how to sing effortlessly,and performance
The tone of the song is similar to that of a church hymn, it also had a god reference 'did he who made the lamb make thee'
The tune can be dull and annoying but it is quite interesting to listen too.
When we sing it it didn't song right, the peice was too creepy for children's theatre. Its low pitched ao the children listening will get bored quite easily. The tune needs to be more upbeat.
