Musical Theater character Today we worked on our musical theater character placement! We started our song off by simplifying the verses and treating them more like a monologue than a song. By doing this, we not only put our voice in a correct and forward placement - but we are able to use different acting techniques we've worked on and apply different voice inflections to add character and emotion to our song. By simplifying the verses int his way, we are able to add different dynamics in our song as well - focusing on the emotional ups and downs written for the character rather than just high belt, loud, and soft. Erin did so great!
