Hi, I'm Elena and I love to Sing!!!:D

I'm 12 years old and my main focus is singing but I play piano too.

I have an example of my singing 'On My Own' from 'Les Miserables'

Here is an example of my Piano playing: 'Ballade Pour Adaline'

I hope to get some good feedback.

Thanks.

Great job Elena!

The only things I noticed were that you could have used a little bit more hand gestures to draw in the viewer. I also noticed that later in the song you had a little bit of trouble staying in pitch during the crescendos in this song. I think it's because the piano you could barely hear your voice over that piano. At that point it could have been useful to take one or two little steps away from the piano, towards the audience.

Just my 2cts. I hope you'll keep up the singing, because you're really good at it. :)

Thanks for the feedback!!!

After looking at the video I thought the same thing about the hands. I was copying Samantha Barks when she sang in the 25th anniversary. I am working on getting into my 'head voice' for the crescendos and making some progress.

Thanks for the compliment. :D

Awesome singing! In an emergency where you can't hear yourself over the music, try cupping a hand over one of your ears. Your voice may sound funny to you, but you will hear the pitch you are singing and adjust accordingly. Great piano playing as well!
