07.06.13 - Final Show!!!!!

Today was our last show, so we had to really give it our all! Before we came on I made sure I warmed up my vocals. We did this as a group and Ben was on the piano leading the warm up. We did some arpeggios and worked on our range. I did a few breathing techniques - breath in and out for 10.This really helped as it kept me calm.

What went well:

It was a complete success and so happy with the complete outcome. We took our feedback from Rachel and did our best to not make any mistakes. I remembered all of my cues and lines again. I felt like it went really well, and I was really confident throughout. In I Want It All, both me and Megan were loud and engaged with the audience again. I felt like I was powerful and fierce. The fall went really well this time and it went in time with the music. Crazy Little Thing Called Love went really well too. I felt like I was loud enough, and again connect well with the audience. This was the chance for Brit to express his feelings towards Meat and I felt like I showed this much better in this performance. 

What didn't go well:

When me and Megan did I Want It All, I felt like it was better the first time. It didn't feel like we were bouncing off each other as much as we did in the first show. Also we had a technical issue with the mic. Also the music didn't start when I started my dialogue. I finished all of the dialogue, just before the music came on and THEN when the music starts, I start the dialogue. It was ashame, but I carried on. Maybe this blew my confidence a little, which is why this performance didn't feel as good as the first.

What I would do different:

I would learn my lines a little bit more earlier, then I could focus on the practical stuff more. I would also make sure I have all of the props ready and practised with a lot more earlier. Even though we only rehearsed with our prop on the first show day, it still went well as there was not a lot of movement with it.

What I have learnt with this experience:

I have learnt to be very patient when it comes to rehearsals and not everything goes to according to plan, and you have to deal with that. I've also learnt that timing is everything with acting, dancing and singing. I've learnt  to work better as a team and independently, but more as a team, as this show really needed a lot of teamwork to pull through and it really did pull through. I've had the best 2 years working with such an amazing cast. I really feel like I've gone out on a high and performed really well and I'm very proud of myself for really pulling through and being the most confident I've ever been! I will miss everyone and I'd love to do the show over and over again!
