(Assuming you're new to this) Approximately how much people were there? How much live performances have you done? I think there were enough people for you to go stage diving. You should've stage dived, this was the perfect song for it. You know what's also funny. When people are doing a live performance at my school. 90% of the time the instrumental is always wrong. Like one time this senior was performing a rap and the beat was supposed to start after he said a line or something and when the instrumental started it was some pop shit, I don't know what song it's from but it was pop for sure. It was fucking hilarious cuz' he stilled rapped over it, and in the middle of his song he stopped and asked if the beat could be changed to the one he had chosen. Must've been so awkward.

The thing is, your voice can be quite monotone at times - something I have a similar problem with - but not only that was you were kind of moving a few a paces and barely using the space you had on the stage, which in turn made the performance less powerful than it potentially could've been.

Also, when I perform, I'm quite different to when I record - because it doesn't capture the same emotion as a live performance - so always remember to be passionate and keep it consistent even if you're struggling to remember lyrics or whatever is distracting you.

I still liked this, especially since it was your first real performance, but just remember to be conscious of over exaggerating things - you may feel stupid but the people in the audience won't see it that way.

I know i dont have the most energetic stage presence in this but first thing, i tried to keep to the half of the side i was on instead of jumping in my mates way, i was nervous as fuck it being my first proper performance and the song doesnt really suit having a whole bunch of energy. I just wanted people to focus on the lyrics and not what i was doing. but thanks guys i appreciate the feedback

Also i think this sounds better live because the recorded version is from my shit studio set up and then the guy who mixed and mastered did a bit of a weird job with it but i couldnt complain cus he's the only one i know who can help me out with that stuff
