'Mooning' rehearsal with Lena

Today Sarah and I had a one to one with Lena going over the song 'Mooning' for Grease. This was a very helpful session. Due to many reasons I feel there has been a lack of really going over some of the songs in depth. We began by simply singing through the song once. This enabled Lena to see what needs changing and developing. The main point Lena noticed with my singing was that I was cutting of the words very short, I needed to hold the notes for longer. Also that I needed to join my words together to take away the stacato feel I was giving to the song.
Also a problem was my volume. As no one is getting mics its crucil that I sing loud enough for the audience to hear me over the music. I think that once I gain more confidence with singing on my own and with the song it will allow me to start projecting my voice more.

Overall this was a very helpful session and left me with lots to improve on.

Choerographing movements for Mooning'

Sarah and I decided the choreography to the duet 'Mooning' from Grease.
We wanted to make the movements simple so it didnt take away the attention from the song and also to make sure we can both perform the singing and dancing well rather than trying to over do it.
We chose movements that fit with the lyrics. Its very suprising how hard it is to remember the movements and lyrics. It takes more energy and breath and does make your brain do a few things at once.
With lots of practise we will be able to perform it fine I think.
