Today we blocked through 'Cinderella' twice to make sure that we get enough practise for Act 2. I put a lot of energy into performing, but I just need to get the facial expressions, reactions and timing perfect. My timing has improved for Act 2, but I just need to make sure that I know my cues (a cue is the signal, such as a word or action, used to prompt another event in a performance, such as an actor's speech or entrance, a change in lighting, or a sound effect).
Later we rehearsed the harmonies for 'Shadowland'. I volunteered to perform this as part of work experience. I did go out of tune some of the times when singing, but I sung louder than usual. I need to make sure that I don't sing flat (a note lower than the intended note by a semitone) or too low. I also need to work on belting and hitting high notes.
Here is a promotional poster for the show I took part in for work experience at The Alban Arena'. We had to sing as part of a 7 part vocal group. We had to sing 'Shadowland' onstage and we sung other familiar songs from The Lion King in the wings (the sides of a stage that cannot be seen by the people watching the play) on microphones. It was important to remember our harmonies and cues, as well as the lyrics for 'Shadowland' off by heart.
