Can’t believe we’re over half way through the rehearsal process already! Last week was brilliant, got so much done in just a week, and now we’ve finished blocking, it’s all starting to take shape. Yesterday we did our first run through and it was really great to put it all together and see the show more as a whole. The show’s looking really good and I was surprised at how much of the lines myself and the others had absorbed. However personally I am concerned about my singing as I’ve not got the most confidence in my singing, especially my head voice and quite a lot of the songs are extremely high. Also at the moment I seem to be tired all the time, which is having a negative effect on my voice, must just be the early mornings, bit of a shock to the system. Well I’m off home this weekend back to Chester for early nights, family time, lots of script work and some home comforts, lovely lovely.
Am loving working with everyone, am really lucky to be working with such a great company, and am enjoying the script incredibly, getting to really know and understand all my characters now which is exciting. I’d like to now explore further Nancy’s more emotional scenes such as the letters with Burns, and also have all my lines completely well and truly learnt by Monday!! Good luck to me.
