Song developments for Tempest

In this rehearsal we looked into the songs that our characters will be involved with in The Tempest. We added songs to make the classical theatre piece suit a modern society audience, and I feel that the use of songs will also make the storyline clearer. I feel that adding this to our piece will resemble Kneehigh's style which is what our version of The Tempest is inspired by.


In the video myself and Izzy talked about how we should project our voices to make the words of the songs loud and clear for the whole audience to hear, because the theatre is not only big, but it is outdoors too which means that we have to consider other noises that the audience could pick up on such as wind, traffic, and people walking past. I am aware that there is a park behind the theatre as well which is directly behind the back of the audience, so I would take into consideration that the audience will hear them more than me if I don't project well enough.
