Chicago- Lesson 1

Chicago- Lesson 1

In today’s lesson we each given a character in which we wanted to audition for Chicago.  Unfortunately, I had missed the first lesson which meant I did not get given the assignment brief but before the lesson which we were in today I made sure I went to my teacher to get the assignment brief so that I knew what we were doing. It was also helpful that my friends in the class had also let me know what we were doing so that I could prepare a little bit.

After we had been given the character list I decided that I wanted to audition for June who was in the song “Cell Block Tango”. I decided to go with this character because I think that I would be able to act her the best. I have never been strong on my acting skills as I have always focused more on dancing and singing but still enjoyed drama. This character was not one of the main characters and did not have a huge role but I knew that would be best for me as I stress a lot about getting things right so I knew this would be the right character for me.

I need to practice my American accent because again I am not very strong in this area. To help me with this I am going to keep watching the section Annie is in in “Cell Block Tango” so I can get it correct. Between now and the audition which is next lesson I need to make sure I have learnt all my lines and learnt the chorus from “Cell Block Tango” as we also have to sing this in our audition.
