Kyara's Theater Performances Journal

Spotlight is an annual concert held by St Margret Girl school. (my primary school). It was the first time I participated in it. It was also the first time I was an emcee. If I could rewind time I would have been 10 times better. I thought I made so many mistakes. An example I pronounced school as " stool "! It was definitely not stage fright, something was very wrong with my throat that day. But at least my family and the other emcees, actors, random children from choir who I don't know actually praised me so much after. I felt confident on stage and in one incidend, I knew what to do when my mic did not work.  And based on some audience feedback including my mother and my friend's mother, they said that it was hard to catch most of the mistakes and thought I was nearly flawless. I definitely prefer to act then to be an emcee but I'm fine too if i were chosen to be an emcee again. I hope to participate at spotlight again next year in our production!      

  I finally got to visit my dream school SOTA. I was so excited to see the performance. I think it was even more better than the alien and arts and craft performances. But I think that even though it was a brilliant show there were areas that could have better. But first I shall elaborate on why I thought it was magnificent: I don't think they made mistakes in their lines as i could not catch any moment of hesitation They were'nt rushing through their lines. They used their time on stage. They expressed their emotions. I felt happy when they acted happy and embarrassed when they were embarrassed. Last but definately not least they inspired me so much as stated above I cant stop showering praise on them. But their were area of improvement and theese are the points Their accent, I could'nt understand some parts of the play due to their strong British accent. This one is not part of the play, How the ...

  During the June holidays, my little sister Samaira and I went to do 2 episodes for our youtube channel, Kico and Samu. We have not done a new episode in quite a while.  We went to Sembawang for filming Around the world in 80 minutes . Then we went to Bukit Batok for the coughing hills . When I first looked at the launched episode of coughing hills video I realized one thing. Body language is important. In the first scene I should have looked at the phone instead of looking here and there. I also should not have stammered like I do when I don't get enough practice.  I liked that I was energetic even when I was not feeling it. I also thought that me looking at Samaira was a good thing as we look at one another during a conversation. It makes it natural. But apart from that I found it good, though I know I can always do better.
