Hey Chorus People, here is our arrangement of Unwritten and the Natasha Bedingfield arrangement. Please try to ignore the choreography in the first video (haha)and just listen. They are singing in 5 parts, just like us, although they do have microphones so its a different experience.
How is singing this song as a solo (aka Natasha Bedingfield) different than singing as a chorus? What do we need to keep in mind when singing as a chorus, rather than singing solo?

Miss Polak you are amazing. This is a great song choice for graduation!
Singing solo and as a chorus are two very different performing abilities. When singing a solo you must be able to captivate the audience by yourself. In a chorus, you must be able to blend together to sound as one. We need to learn to listen to the voices around us so that we can sound well blended. It is better for our voices to blend together than to have certain voices popping out. As corny as the choreography of the first video was I actually liked the arrangement. It didn't sound as repetitive as I thought it would. We should watch some of the things that they did and incorporate them into our performance.
We need to think about being one voice in a chorus. Sometimes we are all guilty of throwing the music aside and making up our own version of the music but to make it sound more unified and as a group we need to use the music that we are given. (That is why we have it with us!) This is something that I need to work on as well to make the piece sound better!
when your singing as a chorus all of the sounds have to blend together to sound as one. but when your doing a solo you dont have to worry about blending with the other parts. we have to learn how to blend together to sound as if were one and be careful that certain voices or parts are sticking out.
I think when we sing unwritten we should try harder to blend. I know I try to hard to listen to whois around me instead of just singing my part. I also think that when we sing this piece, expecially at graduation, we need to have just as much if not more energy then the first video becuase that's why they all sounded really good, and they got the whole crowed going. The diffrenece between the solo singing as a choir is having to be louder then what your singing with, and also confidence levels go down.
Singing a solo is trying to make something your own and making the audience want to hear more of it. Singing as a chorus we want to sound pure and blend together,if everyone knows their part and we don't rely on others then the chorus will sound better and i think that's what everyone needs to work harder at is knowing every little thing about your own part.
When you sing in a choir you must blend everyone's voices together to sound as one. When you sing solo you can make little changes and its ni big deal but when you sing in a chorus you have to stick to your part because if you dont you will throw off everybody else and make the peice sound off key and wrong.

The difference of singing Unwritten as a soloist and with a chorus is that when singing the song solo your by yourself, and when singing it with a chorus you are with a group of people. There is a difference singing with a chorus, you have to work as a team to make the song sound as one, so i guess you could say it gives it the allusion that the song is being sung by one person. The difference when singing solo is that you have to capture the audiences attention by yourself, and you are all alone and your voice is the only one being head; your voice is not belended in with a group of others. When singing in a chorus you have to keep in mind that your not the only one and that you should work together, with singing solo keep in mind that your doing all the work, capture the audiences attention!
When singing in the choir you have to blend in with the vocies, and also you have to sing loud, to sound as in one group. When your singing by yourslef..(soloist) you can make it your kind of style, and dont have to the same thing as the choir.~mikhala~
Better late than never!
When singing as a solo, you are more free and flexible to sing how you want to sing, but singing as a chorus, you cannot do that. I am going to sound like a broken record, but we need to blend. Everyone has to get their part down and not rely on the people around them. I for one need to work on the DUET (it is not a solo KP!). Once I am confident with that I think it will sound better. Throughout the whole song we need mad ENERGY foos! If we are all passionate and enthusiastic it will sound amazing, I am sure.
When singing as choir versus as a solo, our voices must blend and unify. I personally like the choral version better because it feels a lot more inspirational. I hope we sound like that!
The two are extremely different. When siging as a chorus, you need to make your voice blend with everyone else. On the other hand, when singing solo, you need to make yourself stand out as much as possible. I also think that the group chorus has much more pizazz than Natasha Bedingfeld singing alone. (Although she has a gorgeous voice!)
I believe that singing the chorus version of Unwritten is quite different from the solo. Doing the solo, all of the focus is on Natasha Beddingfield, while the chorus emphasizes the unity of the group. Something we need to keep in mind when singing as a chorus is that we are not trying to outperform the others within the group, but rather keep the unity down to a science where we can succeed as a whole and maintain selflessness.
