A tape recorder can be your best friend as you try to assimilate all the music, interpretation and stage presence moves. Used Tape recorders can be purchased for $25.00 used, or new ones for $60.00. Get a small one that can be hung around the neck. Your voice will record louder on the tape. This is ideal to determine whether you are WORD and NOTE correct.
