Feedback & Updates

Hey Ya'll! Lex Cryz in the house.

I would like to start off by saying, I am very happy & honoured to be your dance director along with Flow. You guys are awesome. Thanks Lady D for blessing me with this gift.

I hope to not only teach you guys as much as I can, but I want to learn from you guys as well. So if you have something in mind that you wanna incorporate into the routine, please voice it out.

What I taught you guys last saturday, was just a snippet of it. We have to double the speed of the routine. Don't get comfortable now cause we still got a long way to go.

I don't want anyone of you to feel intimidated. The way I teach you guys is totally different from Flow's style. I help you build your foundations slowly, while he takes it up a notch. Like Flow said, you guys gotta practice and make it your own. Bring out your own style and persona. Express yourself honestly. Once you start to hold back and hesitate, that's when you start to fail. And none of us are failures neither do we want to be. Aight!

As for the videos, we have yet to film it. I'm sorry guys but please give us a couple more days. We will break it down step by step. Please be patient yo.

For those of you have yet to get the song for the press release, please add me on msn or email me at chrishono@hotmail.com and I will send it to you.

I'm revealing my personal blog to you guys so that you can take a peek on what's going on in my life. I have videos uploaded of you guys. Apparently, when you upload videos onto youtube, it decreases the quality of the videos. So if you want a clearer view, check out my veoh account.

I'll see you ponkies soon. Ponking out.

Let's talk....Rehearsals

Who wrote the two posts below!?!

Okay so first of all I would like to thank Lex for posting up information on what you can expect during your dance rehearsals next week ( : She has also taken time to post some tips to improve your vocals so please do take note of them and act upon them k?

Where are they GOING!?!
So moving on, yes, I am packing my bags and so is Ella aka Shanty, Damien aka Farhan, your stage Manager aka Nathan and your assistant music director aka Prabs! lol we're just taking the weekend of and will be back on Monday before 8am. So any questions you have, please just post them here on the blog and Lex will attempt to assist you as much as she can or I will answer them once I get back.

Rehearsals AGAIN!?!
Alright then, returning to the rehearsals, we will be having rehearsals next weekend, Saturday, 27th September 2008, from 10am to 2pm.

10am to 12pm: Dance Rehearsal
12pm- 2pm: - Discussion of short skit and other possible dramas
- One on one with the Director

Yeah so as you can see we're focusing on dance next week okay? So no scene rehearsals then. Instead, there will be discussion and ideas being thrown about.

What the Ponk is One on One with the Director!?!
Ahem! Basically, it is a short session where I'll be talking to you'll personally. After that, the dance directors will also be providing feedback on your performance for that day. So please do think of anything you would like to bring up with me as this already a third of our journey.

Why is there a COUNTDOWN!?!
Muahahaha to push you'll ofcourse. Can you believe there's only 181 days left!?! Not much time huh and it's not as though we meet everyday so you'll can see how little time we are left to work with. So push hard on your own and dedicate your time to this musical.

But what about my othe COMMITMENTS!?!
I'm not asking anyone to sacrifice studies and what not for this ( : That would just be plain evil...hehe all I'm asking is that each and everyone of us make sure that we stay through till the end as this is all of our baby project so let's nurse it and make sure it's successful K?

Why the Ponk is the Director using QUESTIONS as SUB HEADINGS!?!
Because she's trying to make her posts more interesting...yeah....

Anyways, see you guys real soon!!! Lots of Love XD

Vocal Tips

Hey Ya'll. Lex in the house.

Lady D is probably packing her stuff for her trip to Genting. She will be leaving tomorrow morning and will be back on Sunday.

As you all know, you guys have to sing for the musical. Duh, it's a musical. Here are some vocal tips from yours truly.

  1. Drink plenty of water EVERYDAY! You have to keep your throat moist.
  2. Do vocal and breathing exercises for at least 30 minutes EVERYDAY!
  3. Refrain from shouting/screaming/squealing.
  4. Stay away from spicy food, tomatoes, durians, ice-cream, carbonated drinks, fried food.
  5. Drink fruit juices.
  6. Don't try to imitate someone else, bring out your own voice and style. There is a huge bold difference between biting and being inspired.

I believe that everyone can sing. The thing that sets people apart is the quality of the voice and the confidence.

10 seconds you waste on brooding over your insecurity, is 10 seconds lost to gaining confidence and experience in what you love doing.

Gear Up Ponkies

Hey Ya'll! Lex your choreographer is in the house to show some love. AYE BAY BAY!

Your director is depressed. Wanna know why? You really wanna know why?

It's because you ponkies view this blog almost everyday, leave comments and tags, but don't take time to update the blog. Even a short post can brighten her day. Yes, she is that desperate for someone to post on this blog. HAH!

Cast & Crew, your welcome to post anything you want. If you just got your butt tattooed, post a picture of it. Even if everyone else is disgusted by it, at least your directer and I will appreciate it. Woot!

Ok from this point onwards, I am going to refer to your director, Saras, as Lady D.

Lady D has decided to enforce a rule on everyone involved in this musical. From now on, vulgarities are banned during rehearsals and practices. The only word you are allowed to use is...................

PONKEY!

I know. It sounds stupid. But we gotta think of the innocent kids.

Ponkey is a combination of a Pig and Donkey. So if anyone behaves like such, tell them to shut the ponk up and ponk off. Easy? I'm sure.

For all of you who are having your exams, all the best yo. Do us proud.

On a serious note.

We're going hardcore on you guys once your exams are over, so GEAR UP! Don't think you guys can relax. The fun cum torture has just begun. *evil laughter*

LISTEN UP CAST! *Booming voice*

We will be having dance practice next week saturday (27/09/08) after your Acting rehearsal from 12:30pm to 2:00pm.

1) EVERYONE OF YOU have to be in proper attire. No slippers nor sandals. No skirts. And no, you can't dance barefooted. I want to see EVERYONE in proper sneakers or shoes.

2) We are appointing only 10 people to dance for the press release. 6 girls and 4 guys.

3) Everyone of you have to learn the choreography for the press release in January.

4) Criterias to dance at the press release:
a) A positive attitude
b) Seriousness in learning the choreography
c) Less talk, more action

5) We will be judging based on these criterias.

Yes, this is to instill discipline in you guys. There is a place and time for everything. There is a place and time to have fun and there's also a place and time to be serious.

It doesn't matter how well you can dance, I want to see that passion and fire.

And before you give excuses like 'I can't dance' or 'I'm too shy', think of how many people you have to perform infront of on that actual day itself. SO NO EXUCSES!

Guys & girls, I don't care how shy you are, this is a chance for you to express yourself. If your going to scream just because you make a mistake while dancing, your chance for the press release will be slimmer. Pick yourself up from where you fell. This is showmanship.

Get ready ponkies, the game hast just begun.

Till we meet again, BOOM BABY!

Our journey so far....

Alright so I think it's about time all of us (cast and crew), start posting our thoughts of the rehearsals and the journey so far. Being the person who apparently has the most time on her hands lol, I shall go first ( :

We're already a third along our journey to producing this musical and so much as happened. I would never have thought that I'd be working with some of you'll and I definitely did not think that I would make some great friends from this.

Can you believe that all of us are from different institutions, of different ages and of different backgrounds. There are Our age range stretches from 15 to 20 and the age range will be expanding as soon as the secondary school students join us. We'll soon be a team of 8 year olds to 20 lol!

Some of us are from Canberra Secondary School, Sembawang Sec Sch, some from YJC, Singapore Polytechnic, TJC, NYP, Raffles music school, NUS, Canberra Primary, Sembawang Primary, MI and there's a few more that I know I'm missing out ( : Ah yes! The guys in NS hahahaha and oh ofcourse!!! Laselle students and our resident brilliant CHEF!

Furthermore, we're all taking different courses!!!! Some science students, some art students, real estate management, Navy (is that what you call it Ain???), politics, media and communications, design, music....(and so much more....sorry guys short term memory...can't remember everything lol)

Yeah so as you can see, we're quite a mismatched bunch of people...one is even an alien (you know who you are hehe)

Anyways, we've got only 5 more months to go people!!! So much to do...actors have got dance rehearsals and vocal practices on top of their drama rehearsals. But I have to give a round of applause to some of our actors who really opened up and pushed their boundaries! I was amazed at how much you guys were willing to try new things. So very proud of you'll k?

The crew......hahahahahahahaha so much work peeps! lol we've got alot on our hands and considering how half of our team are made up of NS guys....sigh lol But the time I've spent with you'll has shown me that you guys are capabale and I trust in you'll. We will pull through this and I know that we're gonna produce a kick ass musical!

looks like i've talked too much....omg that's long. I'm gonna stop now....oh yeah I just remembered something...GUYS PLEASE ADD Cinder_Ellaz@yahoo.com.sg as your friend on friendster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then, please post some comments there! If you guys don't who will right!?! Start filtering the enthusiasm that you'll show in rehearsals into the both the blog and friendster!

Please do take note as well that there will be no rehearsals this weekend. Next week, there will be only be dance rehearsals and it will be for some people only as the rest are having their exams. I will also be distributing the new schedule to all soon! For those who are worried, the timing for rehearsals are back to normal!!!! 10am to 2pm. Ok?

I was supposed to stop babbling like a paragraph before but I'm just rambling on now...haha okay I'm stopping now.

Oh wait videos and pics! If anyone has any pics or videos of our rehearsals, please do post them either here or on the friendster...if you can't send them to me at ancientoriant@yahoo.com.sg and i'll post them up.

Okay I'm shutting up now. Peace. lol
