Dee replied to Dee's discussion Emotional performance"I have found that repetition helps immensely. Practice it enough to be able to perform it well but still keep the passion. I had a contest I had to send in a 30 second video to and I did well.…"
Jake Taylor replied to Dee's discussion Emotional performance"Hi u can't if u want to perform at the level u need to express it totally, I watched the late Alan hull of Lindisfarne obviously

"@Kirsty I have the same issue with Janis Ian's "Stars". I love the song but could never cover it because it just gets me every time when she goes...
