Your bibliography needs to include all the sources you have used throughout your digital portfolio to help with research etc.

NEEDS TO BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER

You need to Harvard Reference your sources. You can do this using:

www.citethisforme.com

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Cite This For Me™ was launched in October 2010, we began with the mission of helping students quickly create citations. Since then, the Cite This For Me™ citation generator has assisted millions of students across the world including in the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, Australia, and beyond.

Our tools are designed to help you quickly prepare an entire bibliography or reference list. Even if you know very little about references, our forms and automatic citation features can help guide you through the process and tell you what information is needed. This means less guessing for you and an easier citation process!

Nearly any style you can think of is supported by the Cite This For Me™ citation generator, including Harvard referencing, APA (American Psychological Association) style, MLA (Modern Language Association) style, Chicago style, Vancouver, and thousands of others.

Citing isn't something you usually think about, but it's important nonetheless. You already do it in your everyday life without realising it. Have you ever said, "I heard on XYZ News that . . . ", or "I read in XYZ that those two celebrities are dating", or even "Mom said that you can't do that". By saying where you got your information, you are casually citing a source.

We do this because it gives credibility to what we say, but also because it credits the originator of the information. It also allows others to follow up if they need more information. Formal citing done for papers and projects takes this a step further. In addition to the reasons mentioned above, citing sources in academia provides evidence of your research process and helps you avoid plagiarism.

Plagiarism is a word you never want to hear describing your work. You've probably seen headlines in the news and heard stories in school about the negative consequences of plagiarism. It's not good but it is preventable. By creating references and citations with Cite This For Me™ tools you're taking steps to help avoid this.

Click the button "Create citations" to begin. You'll be prompted to choose a source type and guided through the rest of the citing process. For source types like websites, journal articles, and books, the Cite This For Me™ citation generator automatically tries to find your source's information based on details you provide. That could be anything from the author's name to the source's URL to the article's DOI number. This makes citing more efficient and helps you easily create references and citations for your paper in a timely manner.

Beyond simply creating references or citations, most citation styles have additional guidelines about paper formatting, in-text citations, and other details. Cite This For Me™ citation guides cover a lot of this additional information, so your paper is more properly prepped and less likely to get points taken off for these details. The guides cover several citation styles, but the most popular are Harvard referencing, APA format, MLA format, and Chicago style.

A good paper references several sources. Multiply that with the several papers most schools assign in a year, and you get dozens of sources that will need to be cited within your academic career. That's a lot of references to create, sort through, and keep track of.

That's where Cite This For Me™ Premium comes in. With a premium account you can cite as many sources as you want, organize the sources into bibliographies, and save ALL of those bibliographies so you can easily refer back to your references. It's a great way to manage your bibliographies and cite with confidence.

This week was our auditions for our Unit 9 - which is Lin-Manuel Miranda in concert. for this audition, we had to prepare 1-2 mins of a contemporary song from a musical. After some research, the song I settled on was "Don't do Sadness" from the musical Spring Awakening, for it's strong falsetto, and emotional message. The response for me using this as my audition piece was overall positive! After speaking with my director , she said to me she was happy this i picked this song. She said it was a great choice for my vocal range and capabilities, along with it's emotional vulnerability shining through as i draw from emotional memory throughout the song. Some key strong points were my strong falsetto and vocal flips, alongside a good mix on other phrases. It was her recommendation that this would become my go-to contemporary MT audition song moving forward to university/drama school auditions and auditions outside of college.

some areas of improvement that i noticed, however, were me messing up on some lines due to nerves. This is something that my director echoed, as she said I sounded nervous while singing. This seems to be a problem with my breath control, so will incorporate more breathing exercises into my warm-up routine in and out of college to fix this shortcoming. Overall, I feel very positive with how my audition went and cannot wait for rehearsals to start.

WEEK ONE - FINDING OUT ROLES, THEN "ALEXANDER HAMILTON" AND "THE SCHUYLER SISTERS" VOCALS (19/9/24)

# data[].attributes.body
This week was the beginning of our rehearsal process!! My director sent out the cast list the night before rehearsals begun. This is where i found out that i would be playing the roles of Aaron Burr in "Hamilton", Steven in "bring it on", and taking the vocals of Lin-Manuel Miranda himself in the Hamilton/Dear Evan Hansen mash-up "Found/Tonight". I was simply elated with this knowledge, and in utter shock and disbelief that I got some fantastic and iconic roles created by Lin- Manuel Miranda, and have so many ideas as to how I can bring those characters to life in my own way. My director said to me she gave me these opportunities as she thought I was up to the challenge, deeming my passion and desire I show in lessons. Then it was our first rehearsal day, where we began with listening to each of the songs in the setlist, before getting all the vocals for "Alexander Hamilton" done. This was a fun experience, while also proving to be challenging at times. Some things I did well in were my solo parts as Burr, and learning my harmonies. There were some places for improvement though, as i need to work on certain inflections in my speech to paint a better picture, and need to remember my harmonies moving forward. I will do this by rehearsing out of college hours to ensure this is in tip-top shape for when Jess begins to set it. We also did the vocals of "The Schuyler Sisters", where I received no negative notes on my performance, the only thing my director said was that i was portraying the character well. I will, however, ensure i know every lyric for the next time we do this number by rehearsing on my own time.

WEEK 2 - STAGING A.H, S.S VOCALS, AND WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO

# data[].attributes.body
In this week, we started by going over what we already had done, cleaning up and adding new harmonies, which I dealt with completely fine. Then in our second session, we were in the performance hall, beginning to stage our opening number, "Alexander Hamilton". This was so much fun to do, and we managed to get about halfway through the song. There were some slight notes as we went along though, while my characterisation was great and I made effective choices with facial expression and gesture, I had a habit of walking in time with the song, which I needed to not do, if I walked more naturally, then its more authentic and realistic. I worked on this in the session and its something to keep in mind moving forward.

Following this, we moved onto the vocals of "What I Was Born To Do" from the musical "Bring It On!". In this song, I was entrusted with the role of Steven. While the role is a lot of fun, it was one I had little to no knowledge of before getting assigned it, so adapting my choices as I learn more about him is a given. My director said i was doing well, but with some lines my rhythm was different to the original, which with it being a musical by Lin, that's definitely something that needs to be changed, especially when it wasn't adding anything to the character. I will listen to the song and rehearse to ensure that it will be better for our next rehearsal.

I am thrilled with how you have started into the year Raven, with dedication to your practical skills, as well as being such a positive force in the rehearsal room.

You always strive for improvement with actively seeking feedback on how to improve week to week, which is highly admirable.

Looking at your coursework, I am concerned. There is SO much missing at this point, so you really need to work hard during these next couple of weeks on:

ALL missing in Context column (300 words/5 aims/skills audit)

RESEARCH into LMM, and Alexander Hamilton era, to enable you to answer your 100 Q's, then write your Message in a Bottle.

VIDEO's/Voice Recordings to evidence Practical Skills.

You are working practically at the moment at a Distinction for this unit, but a Pass for Theory.

Let's get going on this coursework!!!!

This is my Hamilton outfit, as i play the role of Aaron Burr. I pay homage to the original show with the purple tailcoat (NOTE: it's being brought in to fit better), while opting for a shirt and tie, with dress shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my costume for the Bring it On section of our show, these were rented out. However, after conversing with my director, we have decided a plain white t-shirt may look better than the red one and provide some contrast.

# data[].attributes.body
Trying to create a costume for Found/Tonight was difficult, as it isn't from a musical. However, when talking to my duet partner Finley, we opted to make our costumes reflect both artists' (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt) most iconic roles in our costumes, so mine is in reference to the role of Alexander Hamilton.

This is my costume for our dance number to 'surface pressure' from Encanto. We were given the guide of a small pop of blue on a predominantly black costume so i chose a hat.
