This week we found out who got what role for "Little Shop Of Horrors". I got the role "Chiffon". I am one of the three girls who act as an all knowing, street wise trio, who narrate/sing the story as it goes along. We started and finished the choreography for "skid row". This song introduces the characters and sets the scene so this is an important number. After learning he steps we where able to add pur own characters personality into them. For example the trio I am in are confident and sassy characters, so they have to be confident and slightly over the top with the movements.
I think the real challenge is singing and dancing at the same time. Being too enthusiastic with the steps can make our voices shake as we do each movement. I found that fluency is the key here. Instead of jolting whilst taking each step, I flow my moves together making a smooth path of steps/movements this prevents any voice cracks or shakes.
I really enjoyed learning this dance. I also enjoyed singing this song. The trio use a lot of riffs in there songs. This is a challenge for us because we are not professional Broadway actors. I enjoy ridding notes and find it easy in fact, but I find projection hard. I decided to practise my projection by singing the song every day gradually getting louder.
