This week, we did more sirening than usual however I had found this much more beneficial due to the fact that we were running through all of the songs and these required us to use our full range, for this reason I found this much more useful. We also did some breathing exercises which were helpful in preparing us for using our breath control while singing and dancing.
As a company, we have definitely improved on our projection. It feels like we are all much more confident with the songs and movements as a whole and as a result it has allowed us all to focus more on the singing and our projection; this has greatly improved the quality of our performance and has greatly increased our confidence as a company as a whole.
However, I do feel that the company as a whole really does need to work on our characterisation while performing. Although we have started to do this, I feel that we really need to develop it further and complete more exercises before it is ready. In saying that though, I have already begun finding myself working on the details of my movements though to make them much more characteristic and in keeping with the mood of the song that we are performing at the time.
My goals for this week are:
- Work on my facial expressions while performing
- Practise songs using lines from the teen version of the script - during rehearsals where I was filling in as understudy, I would find myself singing the wrong lyrics for the version of the show we are performing. I need to work on singing and performing the songs using the family friendly lyrics of the teen version of the show
- Continue to work and improve on my harmonies throughout the show
