The video came out OK. I'm not saying it didn't.
But the Canon HD camera has an adjustable gain and a shotgun mic that would have picked up every syllable of every word uttered from 50 feet away.
And this is really important once you get "into" shooting live performances. Zoom speed. It's super hard to maintain slow, even zoom for delicate nuanced details like facial expressions, etc. with a DSLR. They are not made for motion shots, so the zoom is fast, and choppy. A motion camera with a good zoom can make it look like you are a pro, with slow even zoom.

I like your videos and your friend has a lovely voice and face.
On the zoom, if videoing with a DSLR, do you zoom manually, by turning the zoom ring on the lens?
