Q18. If you had to choose an atmosphere ( or vibe, mood, aesthetic, setting) for your artistic world…
You may not have considered your singing in this way. If you are stuck, think about the last thing that utterly thrilled you: a song, an exhibition, a speech, a show, a book, a film. There are NO wrong answers.
For example:
Many people love the whimsical worlds of film director Wes Anderson — built through colour, set design, and quirky characterisation.
Some more examples:
→Using Black-and-White Photography (grain + stillness)
→Using Mid-century Mad Men influences (smoking + subtext)
→The stories of the Pharaohs and Cleopatra (empire + eyeliner)
→Desert California atmosphere (mirage + motel light)
→Jane Austen English Culture (manners + suppressed longing)
→Cold War Berlin life (spycraft + existentialism)
→The Devil Wears Prada (ambition + Armani)
→Marie Antoinette’s Versailles (opulence + oblivion)
→Three Musketeers Era (wit + flashing steel)
👉"I have no idea!" is a valid answer!
