Six rehearsals-week 4

 


Rehearsal reflection 

After knowing a little bit more about the songs I was able to go home and practice my harmonies a little bit more so that I could come bait more family with them so I could give my all during rehearsals, I feel that this was really beneficial for me and I don’t have a lot of confidence in my singing and this helps me to have some mor confidence during my lesson as I know what I was doing and my correct harmonies to everything.

I feel like my singing in 'Ex-wives' has slightly improved in recent weeks, and that I am better understanding harmonies, however I feel that I still need to work on my projection as I start the song of powerful and then half way through I start to let myself down and down have as much passion which is also linked to my confidence when singing but I need to tell myself to forget about all of that and focus on myself not about what other people think. I also need to make sure I'm working on the final harmonies on the lyric 'wives.' I felt like I was picking out the harmonies a lot easier this week, but I still need to work on them to make sure I’m getting them right constantly and not just in a one off rehearsal, I believe that I need to work on my pitching for these harmonies, which I plan on doing by watching the videos for our signing lessons and listening to the soundtrack, picking out the middle harmonies and practicing them on my own time.

We spent the majority of our time practicing and going over the harmonies for Heart of Stone, working on the final harmonies for this song. I felt that from the last lessons I have improved on my harmonies, where they go and what pitch they are in, I feel like I now need to work on the timings of them and how long to hold each harmony and where I need to change pitch. I was having trouble finding the correct pitching for a lot of the harmonies, especially the ones where we have to sing the lyrics under Ella in a different pitch. This was difficult for me because I had always practiced the song with the riffs at the end, so picking these parts out has been difficult for me. I plan on working on this and practicing these small parts with the backing track, using the sheet music to assure that I am singing the correct lyric in the correct pitch. 

We have also been looking at 'Get Down', this song I only sing a few words to flesh out the backing vocals for Rudi however I have to make sure my characterization and tone is there to make sure that I am adding more to these small parts. This is a lot easier when singing and dancing at the same time. I also need to make sure that I am confident with were each of these small lines are in the song to make sure that I am punch and precise with them. 

We also went over House of Holbein again, making sure our characterization was accurate; I believe I was punchier and employed projection for this rehearsal this week, which resulted in a lot more effective sound. But I need to focus on my breath control when singing and dancing so that I can sing and dance at the same time.

Six the musical show week

  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

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 ...
