dc.description.abstractThis paper details my experience with this creative project. The scope of this project is research on Irving Berlin that will then inform an interpretive process that was originally going to culminate in a public performance. Throughout my research and using one of the chosen songs in an audition setting, I realized that this research is not meant for performance per se. Further explanation will be made in this paper. My project focuses mainly on the two hallmarks of creating professional performance: the historical and analytical research. The historical research informs my own analytical research, the creative process, and finally the performance of these songs in an audition setting. A detailed explanation of my process and the results it yielded will be included, as well as an analysis of what I have learned. I will document my interest in Irving Berlin and why I chose this composer. I will then give detailed insight on my process, followed by explaining the process further through the song "How Deep is the Ocean?" I will then analyze my performance of the material, both in the videos I recorded of myself and the audition where I used a song, and, finally, what I have learned. Please note that there are videos submitted with this paper that can be accessed through the repository that will aid in further understanding this project.
