I've lately been very unorganised lately due to the fact I haven't been putting all my work as a priority and not keeping track of it for example, I didn't realise we had a 4 hour lesson used for practise of the assessment coming up. So, when i found out i started panicking and i immediately told Mrs I didn't know about this. she told me "not to panic and give my best as that is better than just not turn up". I then took a few minutes to calm down. Later, I come back willing to just get it done with. In our 4 hour lesson we practised all of the songs we'd done over the previous months like school song, wilkomen, nothing like Dane etc.
vocal performance skills
My vocal performance i would say is usually quite good because my voice is naturally loud and projected so i never need to worry about trying to project it even though, as a group it was a big target of ours. Due to me having such a loud voice i have to make sure I 100% know the words or i might start belting the wrong lyrics and just make a mess of the song. To make sure this didn't happen i made sure to practise a lot at home for songs like nothing like a dane, wilkomen, season of love etc. I've also naturally got a very clear and easy to understand voice when i sing (articulation). I made sure to really show this off in my solos at the start. Because i was the last child to sing "mum said im an angel". I made sure to put in a lot of projection and articulation to build up the atmosphere ready for the big kids introduction. I struggled to keep in time with the tune at the start due, to weak stamina however, i began to see a gradual improvements as the weeks went on. This is the same with staying in time with the song. I really struggled with time management at the start but as i became more familiar to the song it massively started to improve.
dance performance skills
Since starting musical theatre I've been lacking confidence within the dancing element. This is due to the fact i don't
see myself as good as the rest off the class because i'm
quite new to dancing and only started when starting the course. When we first started I was so self-conscience and embarrassed of my dancing skills that i began to miss lessons as, i didn't feel i could bring myself to keep doing it. However, i talked to Nadine about it and she told me to keep trying and ill gradually improve. That's exactly what i did and i started to see major improvements within my dance and my confidence. Every time we learnt some more of the choreography I always made sure that I practise it repeatedly to help me remember it when needed for example the choreograph we learnt earlier on in school song. One big struggle I started with was my stamina like, back in September i used to get tired out by the warm ups however, by the end performance i managed to do all the songs and choreograph without getting tired. As a little kid i didn't do much dancing but, are characterisation was incredibly important. During the end performance i had fully grasped doing the choreograph for school song in time with the music.
Drama performance skills
As I was a little kid i didn't have much dancing to do instead characterisation was important. This is because the audience need to believe we are terrified of the big kids. Characterisation was something my group performed strongly at without a lot of practise as we mainly focused on the choreography. During the performance I successfully played a terrified little kid and managed to keep up the persona due to constantly reminding myself in my head that i need to look scared. I also decided to try and look all innocent pulling a sad face and making my eyes really wide. I think i was very good at remaining in character for example, I didn't laugh when something funny happened. Overall, it think our group has been successful at making sure the audience would be able to distinguish the contrasting roles of the kids. little kids being weaker and scared off the big kids. Big kids having the dominance and showing aggression to the little kids.
Costumes/props evaluation
During the show at the end we regularly had to change costumes this is due to helping to bringing the performers to life. For example, for school song we were all in school attire (skirts,polos and shirts). We all successfully managed to change in time, bring our costumes (or borrow clothes if we didn't have them). We also used props in school song (blocks). Even though it took a lot of practise it really improved the performance. I feel it also impressed the audience due to how difficult it is to keep up with. However, because off all the practise we all nailed it.
peer evaluation
My peers seemed to be very proud off me for actually doing the performance and giving it my best shot because I feel the class knows I lack confidence on the dancing element off it as I'm not the strongest dancer. I was also told that my projection was really good and it really stood out in season of love.
my future targets would be
- To try not miss anymore lessons
- try to remain focused during songs so I can keep in time.
- to complete my work as soon as I get it.
- Put myself out there more with my singing
