Musical Theatre:"Practise Journal"

Throughout this week, as a class we have focused on practising the following songs; “13”, “Opportunity” and “Getting Ready”. We have also practised the choreography for the mentioned songs. I hope that I will be able to get some videos for you to see us during rehearsals. Personally, I have already learned the first two songs (13 and Opportunity) as well as the choreography which has allowed me to have more time to prepare myself for the third solo of mine in the song “Getting Ready”. I have also practised scenes called “Hey Kendra”, “invitations” and “Any time”. I have a plan to also practise “Bloodmaster fight underscore”, “Bad news” and “Tell her”.

I would like to learn every single part in the play as soon as possible so that I will have more time to improve my imperfections in the play, and to pay all of my attention and focus on the rehearsals prior to the show. I feel like from week to week, I am learning more and getting into my role, which enables me to learn the script, sings and dance choreography quicker.

 From the vocal side, I think that regular training and practising of the vocal exercises throughout the month allowed/ made it easier for me to prepare myself/ my voice to the songs I will be performing and the play as a whole. I have much less troubles with learning the music lines/ sheets, timing and correct breathing. Due to these exercises, I can feel the difference in my singing, it became easier and I can do it with more pleasure. Whereas in the past I have stressed and got angry over my singing if I did something wrong. The learning of new songs and acts was harder because I didn’t know how to prepare and use my voice properly, and due to the exercises, I am more confident in my voice. In this week I will try to paste more videos where I practise my solos to show/ prove that from one week to the next, I am improving and my singing is better.

Here I'm pasting the video where we practised dance for the "Opportunity " scene :

 

That's the first video which we did in this week .Today we cleaned this scene and we added more staff into it , so I will be trying to upload videos all the time to show you differences and improvements'.

And also I'm pasting the video where I practise my song "Opportunity" to show you improvements from the last week:
