The Perpetua McLain Song

Verse 1
It’s a quarter to eight,
Hell, we’re gonna be late
Coz it’s primetime
And we cannot wait
Chorus:
Here is the Perpetua McLain Show
Here is the Perpetua McLain Show
Verse 2
If you fancy a rest,
Get some dirt off your chest
Come and meet her,
You could be her guest
Chorus:
Bridge
It’s the way she walks She’s spectacular
The way she talks Such vernacular
She’s streets ahead So contemporary
She’s great in bed! She had better be
Verse 3
Sit down, take off your shoes
Phone in, tell us your views
Come and meet her
She’s hard to refuse
Chorus:
Ooooooh Perpetua McLain Show

Candy's Singing Workshop February 2008

For everyone who attended Candy's workshop, I think you'll agree it was a wonderful day. I couldn't believe how good we sounded:-) Thanks Candy.

What did we learn? A brief summary: (and this probably won't make much sense for those who didn't go)

• Breathe deeply - shallow breaths are a waste of energy.



• Posture is important when singing - stand like a puppet!



• If you want to reach those high notes, bend your knees a little.



• Move with the music - don't disconnect the head and the feet.



• Remember that lyrics are important - and the way your sing the words reflects the meaning and the mood of the song.



• Finally - never leave your shoes alone in an African village.

Mr Thompson's message: Put your scripts down!

Hi everyone, Make the most of this weekend to study your lines.

As from next week's rehearsal, there will be no scripts on stage.

(Somebody will be promting of course)

We also discussed a couple of weekend rehearsals at Reza's or Gloria's

new flats. Any sueggestions?

It's My Party Rehearsals

Rehearsal TIPS for IT'S MY PARTY

1: Know your lines by September (07!)

2: New information for the audience?

If so, speak your lines slowly, loudly and clearly.

3: Keep background party noise to a minimum.

4: Give your character something to do,

even when you're not centre stage.

CAN YOU ADD ANY MORE TIPS?
