It Takes Two: Monday 10th March: Project Brief

Monday 10th March

Project Brief 

"It Takes Two" is our final project for the unit "Singing Skills for Actors and Dancers". In this project we will have to imagine we are a successful member of a West End show and have been asked to take part in a charity event entitled "It Takes Two - The Top Duets of All Time".

The event will be widely publicised and will feature in the national news so costume and props may be used.

We will receive guidance in the choice of partner and song as it is vital that the song chosen will suit both performers and enables each of us to demonstrate our independent ability to characterise the song. We should also think about the relationship between the participates and use a wide range of physical and vocal expression to communicate our interpretation. The song may be from any genre and may be sung either accompanied or to a backing track. We must take responsibility for providing either sheet music or backing tracks in the correct key. The website www.musicnotes.com will be very helpful to us.

We will perform the duet to a public audience.

We will also complete Blog entries for this project and it is here that our singing coach will be able to look over all the work we have done in this unit and assess the improvement in our vocal technique over the entire unit. It is important that we include either video or audience evident of at least two rehearsals on our blog and that we keep a practise diary in which we reflect on strengths and weaknesses and set ourselves SMART targets supported by specific technical exercises.

I'm looking forward to gaining experiences with working another performer to produce a performance fit for an audience and explores relationship between two characters. I'm really excited to start his project and I can't see what this project has to come!
