Whilst undertaking my development I made changes to my previous plan as I became aware that in order to excel in regards to my set targets I needed to priorities them more and find time to focus on producing a form of supporting work that would help me achive the skill I have set out to harness. I began practicing each set target for two nights every week of the month, by placing this new deadline based time scale for myself I was able to enforce urgency and productivity.  Increasing how often I worked towards achieving my set targets for my development plan was beneficial for specific targets based around vocals as taking care of my voice and consistently preparing with vocal warm ups al
