Posted: 3/26/10 at 3:30amHey Bob! Great job! As actors we are always striving to be better what my advice to you would be is at times some notes that arn't you money notes are slightly under not off by any means but just a bit of the lower side of the note. As well as I would stop thinking about the acting or any practiced movements and you just stare at that wall or enviroment your in and tell that wall what you want, it feels a bit rehearsed (which of course is a good thing that it is) just live as Bob and tell what you want clean and simple. Best of luck!

Absolutely loved it! I love that you care about expressions and acting just as much as singing. I feel like people nowadays are forgetting to act and just get through a show by riffing. You have it all! Good luck

Posted: 3/26/10 at 8:27pmreally nice tone. Great voice. I guess since you are asking my only constructive criticism I would have is to work on how you approach the song from an acting standpoint. I hear moments of your Scottish brogue popping in and out so I would work on that dialect (especially if playing this part someday is something you really do dream of doing) and from a character point of view I would also work on gruffing your performance up a bit- come from the point of view of that a man (or ogre) rather than a boy. Y'know? That's all. Very brave to put yourself out there. Message boards can be cruel. :)

Am pleasantly surprised at the non-snarkiness of this -- a record for BWW?

I haven't listened, but it has nothing to do with what I have to say.
You have CAJONES to do this - especially around these parts - and that's what counts in this industry.
Sing on!
