Little shop of horrors: Day 24

Today, we performed act 2 again. This time though. I went as much as I could without a script and realised I knew more than I thought, albeit with a few hiccups and blanks here and there was able to think on my feet if I went wrong to try and get myself out of trouble. Again, the main problem was call back in the morning, as the backing track was extremely difficult to pick up, hopefully, with our live band, it will be easier to know when to come in and when not to. I was extremely pleased with how much I remembered and without my script I had a much greater range of movement.

Afterwards, one of our new teachers came to work with us on harmonies and singing. She sat us down and listened to us perform skid row before asking us to perform with more emphasis on our face and shortening the down towns. Making for a sharper more powerful opening number. She also worked on the group harmonies, giving the song more substance and power. We did the same for ya never know. I think we learned a lot from that session. Especially how our facial expressions effect our diction and the song as a whole.
