19/10/23 - Here I Go Again and Any Way You Want It 

This week was our first week back from the half term and it was also our last week before we begin moving on the stage and the tech process. As we start to come to the end of the creative process, we are really starting to refine each of the numbers and starting to address smaller issues that will help to perfect the show as much as possible. Although I have been making a great amount of progress in terms of my SMART Targets, I do feel that I need to refine certain sections within these too; in particular for my diction, I feel that there are certain scenes and songs where my diction is still a little sloppy, these moments are often the more quiet and vulnerable moments for Drew and as a result of his more closed off and quiet demeanour my diction subconciously slips as a result. I also need to improve on aspects of my body language a little, particularly when being turned out more to face the audience in scenes so that my facial expressions can be seen and as a result convey my character's emotion to a greater extent. In addition, I also feel that I have greatly improved on my execution of the choreography particularly in Don't Stop Believing and Here I Go Again, I have been able to make these movements look much sharper and with a higher intensity than before and from this I have also then been able to add a level of character and personality to the movements through adding facial expressions and reactions to the movements within my performance.
