Don't feed the animals - Blog project proposal

1. Skills audit 

- Dancing

- Acting

- Singing

I think that my skills are in that order because of experience. I do lots of Dance outside college, stage work, shows and competitions so I am stronger in Dance than I am in Singing where I have less experience. I have only just preformed a solo for the first time in front of an audience. I have never had a singing lesson before I started this course. I don't have a strong voice but I am working on it every week doing a practise routine to help with my voice and also my confidence. I have been doing acting for about 5 years, I'm best at impro as I fine that  learning lines Is really hard and it does take me a long to get them right. Also I do add in words and stutter a bit when I'm script reading , but with practise I will be okay.

2. Early reactions to casting, script and character

I thought that was going to be a challenge, mainly because of my characters accent, I'm going to be doing research on YouTube and listening to the Russian accent to pick it up so it sounds decent. I'm really excited about my character I have never done anything like her. She has some really good lines in it and I can see lots of places for really nice movements. I wish that she could be in the play a bit more than she is but I don't mind being in the background and in e circus movement.
