Today in our R&P class we brought the songs we had to prepare during the class. I had prepared Always True To You In My Fashion from Kiss Me Kate (Cole Porter)
I didn't perform it as we didn't have enough time but it was interesting to watch other people doing it. I think the feedback Nancy got could apply to me (fully open the mouth and connect with the song). I have never acted through a song, for some stupid reasons related to fear and I'm hoping to change this ASAP as obviously there is no way I'm getting into drama school if I don't properly act through the song.
Earlier during the week Ike and I worked on Always true to you. I felt like the belt notes got stuck in my throat. Ike told me it was due to my tongue's position and made me do a few exercises which was really helpful. I try to focus on my tongue all the time now and make sure it's forward, I find it really useful and can really feel the change.
We also worked on my Shakespeare monologue (Helena from All's Well That Ends Well Act 1 scene 3). I felt really disconnected from that monologue before. We have practiced it as a "duologue" where I had to convince the person I was talking to to give me a hug. I found it really effective and it helped me engaging and connecting with the monologue.
