Music Theatre/ Acting notes 2010

V-O-T-E: Victory, Obstacle, Tactic, Expectation
Soliloquy: scene between 2 parts of yourself, eye line is at or above- to be to self
3 ways to sing a song:

1. specific person= spot on the wall (have to see a face)
2. narration= the table
3. to yourself= all over

Weight in your heals= wisdom

The more period the piece, the more 5th position stance

Start with your hands in front of you then see where they go

Don't shy away from touching yourself

Ask yourself "Why did they make this a song?"

Incident has already happened, within the song you discover how does it make you feel

Choose the words

Watch how you sing repeated lyrics and the title

Mix up where the character is in the room each time to keep you free

Cold reads:

• when they ask if you have any questions say "no, but do you have anything you would like to tell me?"
• with a partner, criss-cross countering each other as you come forward
• you CAN ask the reader to stand
