Aladdin Notes 07/17/15
·
Shelby – need clearer diction and get off book
·
Are arms supposed to be bent or straight on
“nights” and “days” in ARABIAN NIGHTS
·
Macy – you are profiling on “Jafar, Jafar” pg.
22
·
Shelby – deliver “Prince Dadu Rahn Rahn”
downstage – when you say it upstage, we can’t hear the line. You can indicate
him with your upstage hand.
·
Kynley and Payton – try not moving as much in
your scenes – sometimes you steal focus from the scene.
·
Christian – I love your Prince walk – good job!
·
We need to work on ARABIAN NIGHTS to clean it up
·
Don’t look at your feet or at each other when
you dance
·
Good timing in dialog between ONE JUMP #1 and
ONE JUMP #2 – thank you for fixing that!
·
Hannah Cowan – you turned too early on “Thief!”
– ONE JUMP
·
Jasmine – I would like to work with you to check
pitches at the beginning of ONE JUMP REPRISE
·
Narrators – character choices, relationships
with each other – sometimes you guys seem mad at each other or at something
else.
·
Pacing – pg. 42-43
·
Marshall – your fictions is really improving!
Please continue to work on that on EVERY line – I still sometimes have a hard
time understanding you.
·
WHY ME – check mm. 19-24
·
WHY ME – start laugh at end sooner
·
CAST – DO NOT PULL ON THE CURTAINS
·
Guards – I did not hear 3 laughs on pgs. 46-47.
Know where those are and remember to laugh
·
Lauren – pg. 47-48 need clearer diction
·
Ethan – look out more on FRIEND LIKE ME, not
down at Aladdin – I can’t hear/understand you as well when you look down *this
is a repeat note
·
FRIEND LIKE ME – picture on SL and SR during
“Column A/ Column B” SL seems crowded – faces need to turn out – claps not
together
·
Good job Londyn and Brynlee – your faces are
always out towards the audience!
·
I don’t understand what Kynley is doing when the
carpet is flying
·
Atlantis – good entrance! Your face/reaction
could be bigger when you are pacing with Ethan about getting a girl
·
PRINCE ALI – people in procession listen to feel
the steady beat
·
Cast- don’t fidget with your feet. If you are blocked
to stay in one spot, stand still – moving steals focus
·
Hannah Cowan- you did not look engaged during
PRINCE ALI
·
Marshall – practice diction on “Abu Dabi
Ababwas?”
·
Aimey – you were blocking Marshall on pg. 68.
Check blocking
·
Ethan – pg. 70 – “you lied” is dragging a little
bit. Try another tactic to delay the “zing” of that line. Stuttering makes you,
the actor, sound unsure.
·
Ethan – you are blocking yourself on pg. 72 –
check blocking
·
Jasmine- great job on your vocals on A WHOLE NEW
WORLD – great projection and beautiful tone!
·
Chorus entrance – A WHOLE NEW WORLD
·
WHOLE NEW WORLD- this number sounds great! Good
volume, nice singing!
·
Marshall – wait until music is over to say your
line on pg. 82
·
Good freeze Guards! Only Brynlee moved a little
bit..
·
We need to work PRINCE ALI REPRISE ending with
Chorus
·
Ethan – wait for music cue to end before you
speak – the music is covering your line
·
Peyton – stealing focus on pgs. 90-91.
·
Wait for music to finish before saying lines on
pg. 93 – music is covering the lines
·
Atlantis – good job! I am seeing better
reactions – keep working that!
·
Check melody on mm. 10 A WHOLE NEW WORLD FINALE
