Picking Irish Music for a One-Woman Show

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm glad you came back because in this segment we're going to talk about selecting the music. Now it's very important because not every voice can sing every song so you've got to find songs that are in your range, and songs that are maybe songs you already know sort of know and songs that you feel will make you look the best because I mean you want to be a star star darling, so let's undo the rubber bands and see what we've got here. I guess to begin with you go to the store and the music store, record shop whatever they call them now a days, and you find CDs or tapes of Irish hits. Look through them and take out the music, take a look through it and say now what songs do I know what songs do I want to do and I think one of the most important things is what kind of an audience are you going to have, that's very important 'cause if it's children there's some sings that you wouldn't pick but if it's an adult or even senior citizens well then you can go into the really old stuff like Dear Ol' Donny Girl or Tura Lora Lora, that is one of their absolute favorites. And when you take your selections you'll need about fifteen of them when you make your selections make sure that you've cued up your tapes or your CDs then it doesn't matter because then you can just go to the track but it cuts down on studio time studio time is very expensive, but I'll tell you about that in the next segment."
