Hello and what a glorious week it is!
This past week ...
1) I received all the books I ordered and have been reading up on acting techniques, audition experiences and recommended monologues
2) I found out that I failed theory again (but signs of definite improvement!)
3) I have made great headway with my website design and I am now adding content.
4) I have arranged to have my headshot photo taken today with professional local photographer Louis Flood.
Later this week I am going to London! I'm hoping to take in a couple of shows while I'm down there, all in the name of research, of course!

Platinum
Hello
Just a quick update today.
In the past week I have
1) Sat my music theory exam (and there is a chance I might have done OK, even if I haven't passed)
2) Done my first study assessment (which, unfortunately, didn't go as well as I had hoped)
3) Stood down from doing Star Wars: A New Hop, as I have no time to commit to it.
4) Signed up to Star Now!
5) Ordered some books on acting techniques ("So You Want To Tread The Boards" and "Actions:An Actors Thesaurus")
6) Ordered a couple of Music books ("Cole Porter the Platinum Collection" and "George Gershwin the Platinum Collection")
The Sexy Stragglers plan to take to the recording studio in the next week.
I plan to get some more solo video recordings done this week and do some video editing.
I have contacted my friend Mark, a photographer, to see about getting some headshot photos taken. I hope to have these done soon.
Rehearsals for both Sweeney Todd and Streets are going well.

Fat Sam's, 2012
Greetings.
Last night's gig in Fat Sam's went really well. Our band, The Sexy Stragglers, were on first. The band comprises of myself, Alissa Toolan (also vocals), Jack Stevenson and Christy Mcintosh (both playing acoustic guitars). I asked Hannah Shovlin to video a couple of the songs on my camera and several people were taking photos. This means I will have plenty of evidence to use in my graded unit.
I thought all the bands did brilliantly, I made sure that I was there on the floor to support every band. I had a great time!
On Friday I will have First Study, followed by a meeting with Alex McKeating about "Star Wars: A New Hop", and then I have to head in to town to buy a costume for my "Streets" character "Brooke" as we are having a photo shoot on Saturday. Her taste is going to be pretty much the exact opposite of my own and so I'll have to find the things I think are hideous and try them on! This should be quite fun though.
The only thing that remains to be said is that on Monday I started constructing the bare bones of my website and I think I am getting to grips with iWeb quite quickly.

One of the Boys
Hello
At the moment I am being very 'arts and craftsy'. I am creating some mood boards for songs and for my website. The song ones are to help me get behind the mood of the piece which should help me in the performance of the song and the website one is to give me ideas about what I would like my finished website to look like.When I have finished these mood boards will be used as evidence of research on my website for graded unit.
I have been using today to practice a lot of the songs I have been learning recently. I have run through all my 'Sweeney Todd' songs, a couple of 'Streets' songs. I have also practiced the songs I am learning for college, including my first study pieces ('Sooner or Later', 'Spark of Creation', 'Sound of Silence', 'The Winner Takes It All', 'Fascinatin' Rhythm') and my songs for the Fat Sam's gig ('Emergency', 'One Of The Boys', 'Trust', 'Kiss From A Rose' and 'Master Exploder').
Last week we had the music history exam, I think it went well but we will have to wait and see. Still don't know my results for my history essay :/.
This week my session skills band recorded 'Higher and Higher', I sang backing vocals again.
I am taking my video camera and hard drive along to rehearsals and college just now so that I have every opportunity to get some footage for Graded Unit.
That's pretty much it just now.
