This is my performance of "No Good Deed" at the 2009 Arts Alive showcase. My voice was soo shot! I had just gotten over a 101 fever prior to the performance and was on a bunch of medications and OJ, hahaha. But thank goodness my voice hadn't completely given out on stage. ^.^

also not to be mean but you really need to work on pronunciation. otherwise pretty good

[HelenBlondelTV]

@schuylkillpahaven hmm, could you give me some examples of diction errors? id like to know the spots i need to work on.

[SeiPR727]

@HelenBlondelTV Not to be mean or anything, but 1 example would be "What good is this chanting?". You only said "What is this chanting". Not really a pronunciation error but a mistake still. Aside from that, I really, really liked it. Loved your voice

[HelenBlondelTV]

@SeiPR727 Thanks and no you're not being mean, I ttly don't know why i skipped the word good lol must've been the nerves... but thanks for your comment!

[kmb1023x]

[HelenBlondelTV]

@kmb1023x thank you! I actually havent had too many lessons.. prolly 2 years worth haha. i just do a lot of my own personal practice.

[HelenBlondelTV]

@MusicGirl3181 lol nobody said this was a competition. i already won my $3,000 :-)

[actor14]

you have an amazing voice.

but more goes into this song that just singing.

you have to grasp and convey what elphaba is feeling.

[TheAlibill]

Those last few notes you hit were really amazing!

[SkittLeZMusicTV]

Maybe it was the nerves but I felt as if in the beginning you were just a tad shaky in terms of the placement of your voice when you were singing the high "Fiyero"'s, However, I think the ending was VERY strong. The ending to me was the best part because your voice was just perfect. I'd say work on the placement of the beginning Fiyero's... and trust me I realize that it's not an easy task, nor is it an easy song. I enjoyed it.

[Bergenfluff]

I'm no critic of anyones voice, but I'll say this for you: To attempt this song, one of the hardest on Broadway is a feat, no matter how you did. If I may say this though: I'd encourage you to work on the high notes, like for example when you reach "My generous supply", where you need to go fairly high, sounded a little bit weak. It wasn't a mistake by any means though.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carlarasmus]

[Maxkustrap]

Really Nice!

[MoKing89]

I must say, when you started the song, i was not expecting you to hit the long note at the end... But you did and that song is not easy. It requires emotions, performance, and vocals. You did great now get over to Broadway and audition for the part!

[Janellelynnmayo]

When are you coming to broadway?

[animegirl677]

wow for someone just coming off a fever you are really good!

[inufan330]

Are you SURE you were sick while singing this?
