Sarah Gee OB ch 12

Interpretation is a tricky thing, it must be your own but you must study it out to know exactly what it means, how it should be pronounced, where the natural stresses are of the sentence, and what is reflected from that by the music that the composer put to it. You have to give heed to the way it was intended to be performed before you bring your connections and choices to the performing of it. Do not go the easy route and imitate another artist.
Concepts:
Demonstrate to the audience why your voice is something special.
Make the music your own.
Use songs that mean something to you.
Respect the poet and the composer.
Think, let, and trust.
Words:
Intent
Respect
Emotions
Connections: It is integral to a great performance to have meaning and to convey effectively that meaning to the audience.
