This song:
With this song, "Fabulous", we worked on our character singing, actions, and a more musical theater placement.
Character singing:
As Abby does songs like "I just can't wait to be king", and "Fabulous" - we will continue to work on adding character and energy into her voice. This will help move her into (and get her familiar with) a very musical theater placement. A lot of musical theater (at least the fast songs) are about emphasizing words in a different way, hitting consonants a little differently, and acting out the words while singing - not only with physical actions but with voice inflection as well.
Fabulous is a great song to follow up our last one! It's a little bit more sing-song-y than "I just can't wait to be king" and therefore requires Abby to sing it a little differently.
Actions:
Yes. You guessed it. Abby wants to know ALL the actions from the movie (and requested that I be her Sharpette backup dancer). We're having a blast - and getting Abby used to more advanced actions while singing as well!!
