I am going to do a show at a theatre where I will be singing live while 2 films are played in the background.
The two films are very dark. The first is 24 minutes long and it has 6 piano and voice songs the revolve around the subject of suicide.
The 2nd is a 70 minutes piece based on a song sequence with 15 parts. I recorded it 20 years ago and I just remixed it digitally and improved the sound quality. It follows the final minutes of a man, while he remembers his life. Heavy stuff.
So, the films are playing, I'm singing... but what do I do with myself? Especially in the parts where I'm not singing. Do I get into character and make a fool of myself or do I play it safe and don't move much?
I have been practising at home with my stereo cranked up and I notice that I struggle to hear myself and end up singing louder than I should (and often out of tune). I should be singing softly and very close to the mic most of the time but I can't hear myself.
Any ideas?
