During each second musical theatre lesson, we take time to warming up our voices before rehearsing "coffee break" performance and the new one "into the wood",
Vocal warm up consists of a series of body, breathing, and vocal exercises to heat the vocal folds and the muscles involved in breathing, articulation and resonance before more intense activity, we start always relaxing the upper body and exercises to release the tension in the face, in the mouth... and after that we make a variety of vocalisation exercises  :

Notes in different tones, vocal fry, tongue twister, lips buzz, the siren

These are some recordings of our vocal exercises in the last 2 classes

In 1955, when Shepherd Mead's book "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" became a huge success, playwright Willie Gilbert and neurosurgeon Jack Weinstock created a dramatic adaptation. But the play remained unproduced until 1960, when theatrical agent Abe Newborn brought it to the attention of producers, Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin, who thought it could work as a Broadway musical.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Darren and Neil classes of today, we saw some acting techniques very important in the actor's process. It was about  Objectives: what the character wants & Actions: the tactic for chasing the objective , also we learnt a technique that requires the division of the script in units: the section for the different purposes in the drama exploration and the objective for each transition during the scene, as well as the super objective: in the general situation, and as a performer we had the homework of put into practice these techniques, in a way that working with our script we can put into stage all the actions that can help us to develop the character much better

All my lines are highlighted in blue, the script is divided in units, my  partner and me created a key name for each unit, in total there are 11 units, also there are a different and small objective for each unit apart of the general objective of my character and the super-objective of my scene.
All the actions for each line are highlighted in pink with the appropriate verb, besides the script has some underlined words, because we did some activities in Neil classes about key words, direction of the line (heart, stomach, head) and basically all this notes have helped a lot to be aware of each line and each issue of my scene to a successful performance then

(video evidence in final performance shelf)

# data[].attributes.body
We worked with Ecaterine, she saw us first and then we saw her, unfortunately she didn't have pair because wasn't there, but  we could saw the Michael and Georgia's duet and we saw a relationship of a mother with a son where they were choosing who had the control and power because Georgia always looked like a mother giving orders and Michaels tried to disobey her to take the control but he couldn't.
After see then we talked to them and our opinion was correct  band because the things that I saw personally Georgia told me that I was right, and to give a tips to them to maybe make clear the relationship in making more eye contact because it will show that they are arguing an issue

Having said that Ekaterina saw our performance, we talked to her about it after that and I could record some of the thing she said and she almost was right as an audience with the relation that we wanted to communicate .... and this was their opinion
