Muiscal Theatre: "Practise Journal"

In this week, we have practised and mastered most of the scenes from the play. We only have a few scenes, which mainly consists of choreography practise, before it’s all ready for the show. The scene that we didn’t practise yet is the scene from “Brand New You”. Next week, our plan is to practise the choreography with the song as well as there will be a person chosen by my teacher to present this scene. I hope that I am the one that is chosen to sing this song because I really like it, and I believe that it is another song that can show my vocal range and skill and I also think that it suits me very well. I like the rhythm and tempo of this song as well as the style, I actually like it a lot as a whole. Also in this week, we have begun rehearsing the entire play from the beginning. We started to rehears the timing of when each one of us enters the stage and other technical stage propping stuff. If there was something we didn’t like or it didn’t work, we transformed and change it so that it fits the play better. Tomorrow is another day of rehearsal of the songs, choreography and the script from the beginning. There is a lot of work to be done and so little time to spare, but we are closer to the finish day after day. I am getting more excited after every rehearsal.

Here I'm pasting the video with song  "Brand New You" from Musical 13:

 

 

    From the vocal side, during this week I have practised the emission of my voice and singing quiet and gentle notes as well as the louder and stronger ones. Of course, I am still practising my diction, this is the one thing I will have to be practising for a long time in order to get really good at, although I can see improvement week by week. I never back down and stay stubborn to my practise routine. My aim was to get better at the quiet notes and tones when singing because most of the songs I will be doing require me to be gentle and soft. There are many songs that I really like, but I realise that I don’t have an as well-rounded voice as I need in order to sing them comfortably and up to a very good level. It was a hard task to do over the week, and from the first week I honestly cannot judge if there are any improvements in this field of singing, I will continue to practise this over the next week. From the acting side, I believe that every song allows me to show myself from a different acting perspective, and I feel that with every song I improve and evolve my acting skills. With every rehearsed song I feel like I understand my character better which allows me to get in role better with every characters’ song or scene. This makes me more reliable as I act out the role as well as makes me a better actress. I also believe that it makes my performances better and more memorable for the audience. Through this skill I can an atmosphere around me and the character I am playing, and to make the audience empathise with me.

 Here I am posting two songs that I have used for this week to practise my skills listed above:
1)Big Girls Don't Cry- Fergie
2)Bubbly- Colbie Caillat
