Title of Project:

The Journey to be Heard – Fright and Pride of a Solo Singer from Choir Background

Project Description:

My project explores how reflecting on my experience as a singing actor/acting singer reveals the underlying causes of stage fright during the transition from collective to individual performance. By achieving reconciliation with anxiety, allowing resilience in performance, and embracing imperfection, performers can grow love and pride to their own work.

Areas of Academic Interest/Research:
