Math Class: The Musical (You Should Watch This)

This is a mini-musical that I made with my math class the last week of my senior year. Check it out, and tell me what you think!

Very well done, considering the time, and the people themselves not being performers. Especially well, considering they're the "math type". (I jest!)

The writing was definitely in the musical vein, and while I feel that was nothing innovative in the writing itself, I do recognize that the story and the people involved were more the focus than just the music itself. You were presenting your class and classmates rather than an anonymous group performing your music.

It may be somewhat redundant to say that it could be improved with more physical and facial expression, and stronger singers, but it is something to note. Also, the lack of hitting pitch in just a few spots. Did you use auto tune all?

Also, I'm curious; how did you record the chorus in the first song?

"I've been staring at this problem for so long..." teacher:"Shut up,you fail test,you fail class,get out of here." lol

That was really fun. =p You might try experimenting with panning things left and right, especially with the overdubbing that was at the end of the first song (and end). Although, youtube might've forced it to mono for all I know. Very well done!

Thanks for the comments! Obviously I wasn't making any attempt to be innovative or anything. In terms of the composition, I just wanted to be catchy and musical theatre-y. When I called in everyone to record, I was a little afraid they would make the music worse, but their imperfections ended up adding something personal to it, in my opinion.

I did use auto-tune a little, but only when it was absolutely necessary. If it was pretty good, I disabled it.

Originally, when recording the chorus, I was going to have the class come to my house at once, and I was going to set up two condenser mics, but that ended up being really hard to schedule. So I overdubbed my own voice 15 times, each time doing a different accent, on three different octaves. It kinda sounds like a male chorus, but it's good enough. There actually are panning effects, but I think you need to click the High Quality button to enable them. Listening with headphones makes them more obvious.

Ah, yeah, high quality enables stereo. The panning makes a tremendous difference! Nicely done. =p I almost always wear headphones.

As a Math teacher and composer, I love this.

I would have loved a little more math put into it, but what do you expect?

Very well done.

Alright, I've got to admit - I hate theatre music, and I'm not the greatest fan of math either, so already this wasn't on good terms with me. BUT THAT WAS AWESOME! Amazing work, if you did that pretty much all yourself! Especially getting the class to go along. I know you wouldn't catch me dead doing what you had that class doing. Wow. Also... the girl's voice in X to C sounded a bit funky. Is that was the auto-tune thing does? 'Cause, as weird and unnatural as that is, it sounds pretty cool. And a Nazi tyranny over math class - brilliant! You are my hero for the week. :toothygrin:

Welcome to my life

Lol
