Wednesday 29th January 2025-When it came to the actual presentation, in the morning I was ready, I wasn’t nervous and i was actually prepared. But when it got to the actual presentation I got really nervous and I missed out half of the presentation and i wasn’t as loud as I wanted. I think that this was because i went towards the end and i got self conscious watching everyone else. I’m hoping that my PowerPoint and written proposal is better to understand and my points are clearer to understand.
Thursday 30th January 2025- In the morning i attended my first music lesson in a while, i had an ear infection so i was sat in a corner and just watched, next lesson i intend to join in more and engage. In the afternoon I attended my first dance lesson in a while. I didn’t feel well at all but I tried ballet for at least fifteen minutes then I went home, I ended up actually taking part despite not feeling very well and I’m proud of my self for actually putting the effort in, I intend to try and take a bigger effort next lesson.
Monday 3rd February 2025- Today, we got into our audition groups and started rehearsing our scripts. I had a struggle with learning ing my two bigger paragraphs with out a script, but by the end of the session i was able to do it. Its not perfect but i think with more practice i will be able to do it by heart. Next session i will try add some characterisation and vocalisation to add to the character of Siobhan. Then i learned the dance we are doing for our dance audition. I picked it up pretty quickly, i just need to work on the timing and adding energy, but i think in time i will be able to improve and be ready for next week.
Wednesday 5th February 2025- Today ambition hub was cancelled so we had independent study all day.
Thursday 6th February 2025- We had our singing auditions, originally i was going to chicken out but i figured if i want to play Siobhan she probably will have a singing role and i feel like if i were hopefully to get her, i will have to get out of my comfort zone and sing. I chose to to sing the chorus of ‘heart of stone’ from the musical six. I did better than i thought i would like i didn’t cry and i got my friend to sing with me. If i were to do it again, i would try to and do it by myself. In the afternoon we were by ourselves practicing the footloose dance. There was a lot of tension and negative energy in the room. We were all trying to teach each other in our own ways which caused arguements between everyone, so we didn’t really get any work done. However we all took a step back and evaluated the situation and decided that we were all getting out of control and we were all in the wrong. So we all apologised to each other and collectively thought it was a good idea to leave an hour early. Although the afternoon was hard and stressful, its something that we all can learn from, and change for next time.
Monday 10th February 2025 – Today we had had our acting auditions, my group did ours in the afternoon. I wasn’t nervous and i actually felt calm and collected. We practiced in the morning and i now my lines of by heart. The only thing different i wish i did was doing it standing up. I feel that way i could of added more facial expression and body language to my character, when i was sat down it didn’t really come across. But i know if i were to get the role i want i can add characterisation. Then in the afternoon we read a full run though of the script. I read the role of Siobhan, it was my first time reading all her lines out loud, it made me want to play her even more and really made me realise how much of a vital character she is, and i would love the chance to fully act her scenes out.
Wednesday 12th February 2025- Today we didn’t have ambition hub so we had independent study all day.
Thursday 13th February 2025- This morning we had a dance technique lesson, i actually participated, i was very engaging i sat down for some of the lesson and joined in for the majority, when we filmed our audition i was very energetic and i put all my all into it. Then i furthered my engagement in music, where we discussed genre of songs and artists that we are basing the songs of off in our show. The afternoon we had independent study. Today was a good day, I am looking forward to start actually rehersals for the fmp when we come back.
