Some Feedback from an insignificant person...

Okay...about today's rehearsal...

Astounding!

As in reli... You guys were on fire yesterday...

I've never seen 3 Acts perfromed so well in a row...and that is without any prompting ( okay fine there was a bit for my part...but that was unexpected...)

First the Misfits Review

I have to reli say the Misifts stunned everyone yesterday...You guys had awesome stage presence and energy...With the exception of some blocking problems, you guys were awesome.

You guys brought alot of action to the satge. You were doing other things that gave life to ur characters. But one thing i have to point out is tt we still can catch ur whispering amongst each other on stage, so u have to keep silent. Dont make unnecessary noises. Just remeber...watermelon.

But you guys still need to work on ur blocking and voice projection...We'll see how well you project your voices when we view the cds again.


Also, dont always form a semi circle or stand in a line...It looks unnatural, like you guys are acting instead of living ur characters.

Remember we edited the start of one scene where ur characters were practising? That was nice...It was very natural. Do something like that for most scenes and it will make the musical more believable.


Find a partner and feed off their energy. An example would be Isaac and Praveen, or Isabelle and Suadz...They have fun being around each other and so they bring that to the stage. Dont be afraid to take the good points in ur real life and apply them to ur characters...its YOUR character.

Another point, dont block each other. Sometimes u guys block the people standing behind you. You'll have to work on tis as you go on, but keep up this attitude and energy and you will be great!

The problem now is that we know what good actors u guys reli are...so u cant slack in rehearsals anymore... :D

But keep it up.


Review on Prep Squad

Prep squad i have to say that you guys didnt have as much energy as the Misfits but that's cos you guys have not bonded so close YET! But as time wears on, you'll start to bond, and when that happens, you'll fine urself having fun acting with each other.

Another reason why u guys didnt perform to the standards we know you're capable of was that u weren't so sure of ur lines...and some of u forgot some lines. That affected ur confidence. So take some time off every now and then and just recall ur lines.

If you're confident of ur lines, everything else will follow smoothly. Understand what happens in every scene and you will even start coming up with ur own lines that may be funnier or nastier...which is even better.

Another thing i noticed is that blocking needs some work as most of you guys are new...but you have to work that out with the acting coaches. A couple of weeks and we'll definitely see some improvement from you guys.


My Verdict

We still need work with some of our parts.

Mainly:

1. Blocking
2. Line Memory
3. Energy Levels on Stage

But I have to say that overall, yesterday was truly inspiring. It was relly great to see that we are progressing very well. Once I have the videos converted, we shall review them together.

And just so you guys know... I changed my vote in the polls from 'not satisfactory to 'WE ARE POWER'...
