Little Shop- Day 11

In the lesson Today we began by writing down all the different characteristics of our character. This
was to help us place ourselves within the chorus as our character.
crystals included:

  • sassy
  • confident
  • streetwise
  • knowledgeable
  • control
  • bossy 
  • in sink
  • young
  • high self esteem
  • always want money
Taking into consideration these traits for my character its has helped me to build my character and make it more believable who I am. It has helped me to react better in scene, to have more in depth emotion and to create someone who is real.
We then moved on to perform skid row with our character in mind which meant my solo had to be confident and full of control. I could not show my nerves. However the first time i did it again I was very nervous and my teacher made me restart and do it again. I put much more effort in and pushed myself to try my best and not hold back. This made my solo sound better as I wasn't holding back.
The purpose of performing this was to show a range of characters and not all being the same otherwise this become boring for the audience. We did this a few times to keep building on the energy and making our characters deeper. 
We then carried on until we got you 'ya never know' which we sang through and worked out our harmonies. Learning these harmonies and the words to the songs are important to make the musical number as a whole stand out.
