It Takes Two: Week beginning: Monday 31st March 2014

Week beginning: Monday 31st March 2014 

Again, Perry and I felt it was important to work through the vocal performance of the song rather than the blocking. Through this rehearsal we decided to keep going through the song and noting any areas for improvement we have to work on to create a strong vocal performance.

During the rehearsals of the song we applied the feedback we received from each other and any aims or targets we had set ourselves. I often found pitching the first part of the song more difficult but as I begin the song I was determined to make sure my pitch was correct and in tune. As I practised the song more and corrected myself as we went through I began to pick it up.

I tried to add a softer tone to the start of the song I was singing because my characteristics of defeated and weak could be easily shown by the way I sung the song, my singing voice tends to be loud and obnoxious so portraying softness in my voice was far more difficult than I originally thought.

I was really uncomfortable when singing the "Ooooh"'s as I felt I was out of pitch and was embarrassed about sounding bad in front of Perry. I feel like I would need to practise this outside of our rehearsal sessions to gain confidence with that part of the song. 

Whilst we were going through the song I had realised I was far more familiar with the song from listening to it and learning the words to the best of my ability and as fast as I could. I felt this was needed for our rehearsals to be productive and to not let Perry down as he's my partner and both our work efforts should be the same. 

Although we've started applying emotion to the way we're singing the song I feel like we need to develop this more to truly show our interpretation of the song to the best of our abilities. 

I am really enjoying working with Perry and I feel the progress of the song we're making so far is really promising and I am looking forward to performing it when it's polished! 

We have both been working independently to work on learning the lines and the parts we find more difficult. 

Add more emotion to the way we're singing the song so that our interpretation and characterisation is strong. 

Starts blocking the song and singing it the way we need to stage it in the assessment.
