characterisation

 characterisation is playing a character and really enabling their thoughts and feelings into yourself so that whilst performing your are able to fully portray the charecter.

In lesson we watched videos of songs from the west side story and Sweeney todd.

West side story-2 videos of the same song

.Tony is exited and he an sense something coming

.sudden movement suggest he wants to know what is coming as soon as possible.

.he keeps a massive smile on his face to really exaggerate how the character is feeling.

.he wants a new life

.anticipation in his face

I personally preferred the second version mainly because I feel there is so much more expression pithing the song and the way that they are acting.

Sweeney Todd-

.I can sense a relationship between the two from the way they look each other throughout.

.Sweeney Todd is greedy because he wants to turn everyone into pie so that they can make a fortune.

.very sly and sneaky characters

.Both very dangerous and can not be trusted at all.

my characterisation in my solo-

For my solo I have decided to make it so that it has a lot more acting rather then singing as I'm not very confident with my singing and really struggle to come out of my comfort zone when it comes to it so I feel it would be best to take the spotlight of my voice and turn them worries into movements.

  week 7  this is our last week of rehearsals before the show, during this week we were able to work in a lot more depth and go over all of the harmonies, this was great for For me as last week i struggles with the ex wives Harmonie but now i know it and i feel a lot more comfortable whilst performing.  We then done another full run through and i could feel how much i had improved for ex wives as i confidently sung the whole way through, same with the mega six i feel the run-through with Lois w as very helpful.

Six the musical show week

Image
  Monday 14th November  Today was a tech rehearsal which we all knew was mainly for the technicians to help them out to make sure all of the cues and lighting is correct for the actual show and to give them a full practice run. This also meant it was a very stop and start day so we didn’t really do a full run through, however it was very helpful for us to as it aloud is to keep going back and going over things in order to make them more precise each time as-well as learning our spacing and when and where we needed to be in the lighting. This rehearsal made me realize that I need to project more, especially in ex-wives. I feel that I need to make sure my breath control needs to be a lot stronger as I get breathy and off pitch while dancing during this number, although I do feel I have majorly improved on this since my first rehearsals. I also feel that I have improved on my breathe control and stamina during House of Holbein as I sounded a lot better after I had been practicing...

Six rehearsals-week 6

Image
week 6  During this lesson we started of with a full run-through of all of the numbers including both dancing and singing. These rehearsals are very important as it helps us to build up our stamina for the real show so that we are ready , this is because it hard to sing whilst dancing especially if its a very fast and upbeat dance. Personally i feel that the main struggle for me is maintaining my breath throughout ex wives this is because of the dance break as is very fast and upbeat. The same goes for the house of Holbein as everything is very fast. This is something i need to work on as I will be able to give an a lot better performance if I'm able to keep up my stamina and strongly perform the whole way through. I  also need to proceed to work on my correct harmonies for ex-wives as I don't feel like I stick to the correct Harmonie as I tend to join in with the high Harmonie instead of the ...
