Ring, ring, ring…. Everyone in the room turned with a look of surprise and when I met the director's eyes I could foresee the lecture I was about to receive. I was in the middle of an after school rehearsal for our upcoming musical, and the number one rule in rehearsal was no cell phones. I blurted out a jumble of words about how sorry I was, and ran off stage to grab the phone and silence it. When I reached for it, my screen informed me that it was my mother calling. I certainly didn’t want two…
night for a week leading up to this moment, making awkward eye contact with the director after the song had ended, and I scurried back to my seat to watch the other auditions for Soundwave Glee Show Choir. A week later, I stepped into the first rehearsal. I was instantly greeted by a tall freckled girl a few years older than me and a curly-haired boy with a guitar: the first of many friends I would make…

found myself gradually gain experience and confidence in the speech class. Based on the previous speech experience and recommendation from the professor and classmates, this time I used more strategies from the 4-steps methods. I started my first rehearsal on the day before our outline was due. Because I really want to make sure the speech won’t…
about 20 seconds or less. However, the information can be maintained through rehearsal (pg. 176). Therefore, I would have Sam rehearse the improved swing every day at practice and games until he felt comfortable with it. To apply the working memory in coaching athletes, it says in the book to avoid presenting…
university placed upon the process however on further reflection those requirements and restrictions are comparable to those placed upon a director by a producer or artistic director. This process included auditions, production meetings, readings, rehearsals and the eventual staging of the production. Along with myself on this production was Morag Cook who assisted me in design, Dr Anne Thompson who assisted me in the role of director, and Andrew Bailey who was our Stage Manager. The script…
person and what I dream of and strive for. My parents signed me up to join VOENA when I was seven years old. Less than thrilled, I had not realized I would rehearse once a week during the time I normally spent designing Lego utopias at daycare. At rehearsal, however, it was a different story. I learned how to harmonize and perform with my whole body, growing more confident and comfortable with myself in the process. I learned songs in Swahili, Galic, Japanese, Farsi, and Swedish to name a few,…
my journey and that I had a lot of hardwork left. I immediately began practicing and had the solos down, except none of the reeds I was making were good enough. Then, the last week before the intensive rehearsals and concert, I managed to make 3 good reeds. About half way through my first rehearsal my first solo came up and I played it quite well. To my delight the conductor complimented me on it and after the…
