This week, we began practicing mostly group songs from out upcoming musical 'Into the Woods'. We started with one of the main songs 'Into the Woods'. We explored the vocal techniques specifically required in sections this song, as well as the whole musical.
- Range - Scales, arpeggios(notes in a chord are played/sung in sequence, one after the other rather than simultaneously)
- Projection - Diction(emphasis on certain letters), pronunciation (shape of word), breath control
- Intonation - Pitch, tuning e.g "to see to sell to get..... to go to the festival!" - notes jumping up and down
- Dynamics - loud, quiet, soft etc. e.g "THE WAY IS CLEAR....." - loud, hard, "something in the glade there" - soft, less volume - shoes change of mood/feeling
- Articulation - how slurred (legato = words blend into each other) or punchy (staccato = words more seperated "to see to sell...."
- Performance technique - facial expressions
