As we reach the middle of the year I am reminded of how at the beginning of the year I said that this was a year to try new things, step out of my comfort zone and let other things go. I believe I have made a good try at this as I have done a few things this year that I have not done before and I have been out of my comfort zone although maybe not as much as I should. What about you? looking back on the last 6 months what have you done?
June has been a slower month (sort of) for me but oddly it is flying by! I ended May auditioning for Legally Blonde the Musical. I was actually quite nervous about it actually, probably more of the dancing side but I did really want to get in. If you haven't seen or heard of the musical you should get online and check it out. It is a fantastic, energetic show and fun for the whole family! So I got the role of Vivienne, who is the mean character haha but she should be a lot of fun to play. Performances run in November so we haven't started rehearsing yet but I am looking forward to it! So check it out or come along to see me in it. You can get more info and tickets online here and up until August 1st there is a special deal!
Soul Factor is in the midst of rehearsing for its 2014 Broadway Concerts. This year it is sort of a "Best Of" collection, well its a lot of favourites anyway and it is going to be a lot of fun. We will be performing 3 concerts in 2 different locations. I love singing and performing these songs but it means a lot of words are floating around in my head!
Last Sunday, I did something I have never done, I participated in a Masterclass at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. The masterclass was with Scott Evan Davis a Composer/Lyricist from New York. He is the writer of the musical Picture Perfect which was playing at the Festival. There were four of us singers and we presented a song each then Scott asked us questions regarding the song/the characters then gave us ideas/directions/ thoughts on how to perform certain parts of the song etc. It was really a great afternoon and I gained a lot from it. Coming more from a solo singer background, it was good to look at the song more from a musical theatre perspective and see the difference his suggestions made. I sang Scott's song Ready to Fly so it was good for me to learn a new song and also then get the actual composer thoughts on it. I was glad to be asked to participate!
I feel like this post is in bits, sorry about that! but that is how I'm writing today haha!
Have a fabulous week!
