Lesson details
Key learning points
- We can use our bodies and our voice to convey a character and their mood.
- Vocal timbre and diction can be used to create a singing quality to suit the character.
- We can use lip trills, sirening, open vowel sounds and movement to access our higher singing voice.
- Teamwork and compromise are key elements to a successful rehearsal.
- We can create a scene by applying the building blocks to tell the story of our characters.
Keywords
Rehearsal - a practice session in which a performance is prepared
Staccato - performing in a short and detached way
Lip trill - a safe vocal exercise to ensure our voices are fully relaxed
Sirening - a safe vocal warm-up technique to help support and develop our vocal range
Staging - making decisions about creating a performance of our version of a story
Common misconception
Rehearsal is going over the songs until we know them.
Rehearsal is used to develop a character - physically, vocally, and by understanding intentions and mood. Rehearsal is also for exploring using the space to tell the story clearly as well as neatening key parts of the songs.
