Want to feel better without having to think about it too much?

Here’s how: Improve your diet. Yep. Notice I said “improve” NOT “change” (simply to emphasize the need for improvements that are easily sustainable). How do you do this? By not ripping away everything you’re used to all at once of course. Realistically, this is why fad diets rarely, if ever, work long term. You drive yourself (and your body respectively) crazy trying to eat barely anything, or only things you don’t really enjoy. I used to probably be the world’s pickiest eater (Guinness Book of World Records status). As a result of this, I had a HORRIBLE diet that lacked a ton of important nutrients. I’m lucky that I’m as healthy as I am eating like that for so long; YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! On top of that, I used to, as a lot of us do (especially here in the good U S of A) consume a ton of meat and not nearly enough fruits and vegetables—However, now I’m a vegetarian and l-o-v-i-n-g it. No matter what your goal is (indeed I know not everyone is trying to go as far as vegetarianism), I’m going to share 10 honest to goodness tips on how I personally have achieved a mega transition in my diet with little or no pain. But first, a disclaimer:

I am not, nor do I claim to be, a Nutritionist.

These are merely 10 simple strategies I’ve implemented when starting my journey that I found to be effective. Enjoy.

Start off by substituting; no need to fully eliminate. You wouldn’t wean yourself off of a medication all at once would you? You’d go bonkers. The same goes with food. My favorite trick is to substitute my junky snack cravings with healthier ones that actually hold nutritional value. So slice up an apple and eat it with your favorite chunky peanut butter instead of the cookies, eat healthier options that still pack a crunch if you’re craving potato chips (think crisp veggies with your favorite ranch dip, plantain chips, pea crisps etc.), or make a smoothie with your favorite fruits instead of drinking that double chocolate milkshake; but on occasion... Do have the double chocolate milkshake. It’s OKAY in moderation.

For goodness sake lay off the sugar. It is horrible for you and not doing you any favors. When I really started reading nutrition labels I realized just how much a lot of the products pushed to us are often overloaded with sugar (more than the 25g for women / 38g for men daily recommended amount in just one product). When shopping always grab a few options to compare their sugar content. After reading the labels, opt for the one with less sugar. I’ve long ago given up soda, but I still enjoy my occasional juice beverage. I swear by Kombucha, because despite costing about $3.99 per bottle, they are one of the few juice drinks that do not literally have 30-58g of sugar per serving (note: there are some classified as non-alcoholic and alcohol). Being more conscious of the amounts of sugar in each product that I am consuming has become a habit and drastically brought down my over-all level of sugar intake on a daily basis. My waist and newfound lack of insomnia thank me; yours will as well.

Also, lay off excessive amounts of sodium. This is another baddy the food industry just loves to overload our food with. As with sugar, weigh your options and go with the one that has the least amount of sodium. I definitely used to do counterproductive things like add extra salt to my fries, potatoes and pasta until I realized how much salt were already in these things; yikes. If it already has sodium in it, there’s no need to add anymore.

For the amount of meat you think you need on that dinner plate, make sure you have at least equal (preferably more but here’s hoping you’ll get there) servings of fruits & vegetables too! This will ensure that you’re eating balanced and not getting full off one thing food group before you can get your other, necessary nutrients. A trick I like to do is to mix vegetables I am not that fond of with something I do love, like preferred veggies or brown rice.

Go whole or go home. Whenever you can, opt for whole grains vs. refined ones. Brown > white. Natural and less processed is generally better for you.

Drink more water. We all know we’ve got to, but it just seems so much easier to drink that 24 oz. Venti coffee than even 3 of the recommended 8 glasses of water per day. On top of that, if you’re like me, you’re often so busy that you don’t have time to keep getting up to re-fill your glass. By the end of the day you realize you haven’t had any water. I’ve solved this first world problem by purchasing a 64 oz. jug from Amazon, which I fill up at the beginning of the day & goal myself to finish by the day’s end. You too can purchase this magical product here >> Bluewave Lifestyle Daily 8 Water Jug <<

Try using organic raw honey as a sweetener instead of granulated sugar if you’re a tea totaller or coffee lover, (I love to do this). I find it to be sweeter, and therefore I can use less to achieve the desired taste. I’m no Baker, but I’m sure this can be used as a substitute here as well.

Eat smaller portions, more frequently. This is great for your metabolism and keeps blood sugars leveled. It also helps to take your time when eating! Our brains do not immediately realize the chemicals we’ve put into our bellies to register that we’re full. So if we eat a lot too fast we often don’t even realize that we’ve met or surpassed our threshold of satisfaction, causing us to overeat. I like to eat a serving and then let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes before deciding if I need seconds to be content.

An extremely effective remedy that I want to state again is: Pair foods you know are good for you and that you should be eating (but maybe you don’t really care for) with foods you love. This is one thing that immensely helped me to grow out of my picky eating frenzy. Every time I would take a bite of something I didn’t care for, I’d have something I love on the fork also. You can also find a seasoning or dressing you like to help you enjoy new and healthy foods. Before you know it your palette adapts and that BIG bad broccoli isn’t so icky anymore—dare I say you might grow to enjoy it. On the flip side, it’s important not to force yourself to eat more of things in one sit in then you can stand to. This will only create a disdain for that particular food, and you’ll never learn to enjoy it. It’s a gradual process. Introduce yourself to it multiple times and eat only a little until you find yourself wanting more.

Be aware of, and probably avoid all of the products with the super duper marketing health claims of being low fat, or low calorie. At the very least compare the labels. Often, they reduce the fat or calories in exchange for upping the content of some other horrible ingredient to keep the flavor. Then, they market it to misled consumers as “healthy.” Quality over quantity is always better and you can control how much you eat of anything.

Well, that’s it. Try some, or all, of these pointers if you’re beginning to change some things in your diet for the better. Everyone is different and you have to find what works for you. However, these life hacks have been pivotal for me on my journey and I hope they will be for you. In the very least, it will cause you to be a lot more conscious of what you’re putting into your body and you’ll start noticing what does, or does not work for you.

Happy Shopping. ✌🏼 💚

Portrait #5

Welcome back to an other episode of Portrait, This time i’m joined by someone i met on Instagram (find her links at the end)

She’s a talented artist from Connecticut, without further ado :

I’m Bryan, i guess i’m Bryan the girl, i’m from New Haven Connecticut and i’m 23 Years old.

When did you start drawing ?

I’ve been drawing on and off my all life but i didn’t really think of my self as an artist until after college when i had to decide on a career. I had tried a lot of different careers and none of them have really felt right. I was bored in them, so i set down and had a good long think about what i could really envisioned myself doing as a career, the only thing i could come up with was art.

The problem was that i wasn’t a very skilled artist at the time. The list of things i was afraid to even attempt to draw was very long and so tackled that list by doing a new year’s resolution to draw every single day for a year. So i did, and i started to share my work and i started forcing myself to post on Instagram twice a day which was a lot, and i would never do that nowadays [sometimes she still does tho] but i didn’t had job at the time so i drew and drew and over time i got good .

Then people started to seeing my started paying me to do art and buying my art. I think i went through and arc of not drawing at all, drawing a little bit, drawing everyday all day and now that it’s my job i don’t draw as much, because i’m doing a lot of business too.

How did you get into drawing ? (tho’)

I’ve done a lot of different types of art, I’ve done traditional figure drawing, some painting… They don’t really teach pen art in school, like in a traditional classroom, it’s not part of the foundations. I was always drawn (ha ha) to it but i didn’t have chance to learn how to do it, so then i realized i would have to teach myself.

That’s what i worked on, i was figuring out how to make my drawings look like the drawings that i really liked in the old hatching and graving ways that i love in the renaissance…(a cute dog passed by and caught her attention:). So my challenge was to just teach my self over time, and that’s how i grew to love ink drawing : by learning out on my own.

How did you build yourself as an artist? Because there’s some construction going on. You can’t like be like « ok now i’m drawing , now i’m an artist » you know, there’s some kind of transition, like who am i as and artist, in what i do…

That’s a really hard question…

For a long time i felt so uncomfortable, saying that i was an artist. Because i either felt like i wasn’t legitimate , like i didn’t have the right to say that or like people would think that i was really egotistic or something. It feels lie saying you’re an artist carries a lot of weight to it.

And it feels like something you’re not allow to call yourself an artist, like you can’t call yourself a genius only other people can call you that and so i’m like i can’t call myself an artist other people have to decide.

But then at a certain point when it’s your career ad it’s all you do and earn a living you have to identify yourself as that. I will say that often times i will say that i’m an illustrator and not an artist. Because when you say that you’re an artist people think that you’re taking your cloth off on the street and screaming and like smearing chicken blood on your body or something but i’m just drawing so i think people get a clearer idea when i way illustrator.

How did you get your name?

Actually i used to be a musician and i remember i was on Soundcloud, way back this was like 7 years ago. I went by my full name, which is Bryan Schiavone ( Italian name ). It’s a very difficult name, and when people have name like that they somehow try to shorten them and nobody would ever be able to spell it or pronounce it so… One day i was on Soundlcoud i saw this person had a username that was whatever-Thegirl, and was like that’s so interesting i’m gonna do that for my name too. So when i started doing art i just kept the same name that i was using for my music. It’s so much simpler.

As a teacher, because you teach on Patreon and you have a podcast too, how does it feel like to teach ? You did some workshop too.

I’m still not fully comfortable with teaching because a part of me still think that in order to teach you have to be the best

A master ?

You have to be a master, and i’m not…i mean you just saw me struggling with my drawing earlier (she didn’t…she was so quick she was halfway through when i was still sketching….). I’m so afraid that i’m gonna be in this situation where a student turns to me and says how do i draw this tree ? And i go i don’t know that looks like a difficult tree… i can’t help you…. A part of being a good teacher is admitting that you don’t know how to do something and learning it with you students. It’s hard to know when to start teaching when you get to the point where you’re like : I’ve learned enough to share with people. I think it helped me just to have people ask me enough how do i do it and i started telling them and i guess that’s teaching.

And i think as a teacher you’re still learning, if you think that you’ve mastered and you’re not gonna learn from nobody any more then you’re closing yourself to new ideas and techniques.

And you’re a bad teacher and bad artist at that point…

Especially in art, you always have to learn something new, something new will always come to you.

When you began, how hard did you hustle ? How hard was it to get from Bryan to BryanThegirl ?

Oh my god, the hours that i put in , unpaid, over the past few years it’s just like… If i had known how much time it would take i would never have done it. Because i remember two years ago, i started selling my drawings for 15$ each. You know I’ve spent hours on these drawings and i was begging people to buy them every day like « i’m selling them i’m selling them ». I remember i made 100$ and i was like i’m making all this money… and even up after this past year i really couldn’t get any commissions and i kept advertising for them but nobody seemed interested. Even if they were interested they’d be so surprised of the cost which was incredibly low, like 30 dollars for a custom portrait. So they’d freak out and say « omg i don’t have money for that » and i would ask « how much money did you think you were gonna spend.

So there was a lot of just being rejected or not finding customers and then there was a lot of finding a lot of customers that would not pay me enough so i’d spend 10 hours doing something for 15$… Which is horrible and it made me unhappy but i guess i knew it was part of the journey, part of something that i had to do in order to get further along.

And then after working for hours and hours and not making money for years it all started to happen. Every body wanted commissions and i started saying no to people, i started raising the prices because i had to many request…

And you also you could afford to ask more

Because if they’d say « i’m not gonna give it to you » then i would get more free time anyway. One time i got a commission request for a tattoo and i didn’t really wanna do it, i wasn’t interested in it so i told the guy this crazy price and he was like « OK, if that’s how much it costs » … ugh* so now i have to do this tattoo request, i’m getting a really good price but i don’t really wanna do it, it was so strange, but in the end its fine.

Nowadays after doing all this commission work, pet portrait Christmas gifts and everything i’m starting to focus more on personal projects, book projects which i find more rewarding and exciting.

Did you think that at some point you should have quit ?

I thought that every single day for about a year. It was a combination of « i’m so tired » « my neck hurts » « my hand hurts » and « i hate this » and then also « this is crazy, i can’t do this i can’t just be an artist ». And everybody was telling me « you gonna have to get a normal job » « it’s not realistic, you should give up ».

I was going to, but i think what happens is that the craziest people just keeps going, all the reasonable people stop and then all the work goes to the people that stuck with it. If you can handle it financially and psychologically then you’ll probably be fine but the key is to not give up.

Yeah, i didn’t start any projects after my school so i can’t say I’m gonna quit because i didn’t do shit… you have to do this for like 2 or 3 years, get straight with your partner about it and then depending on how it goes you might wanna quit.

Yeah, you set a time frame and say « i’m gonna do everything i can in this time frame » and if i doesn’t work out then i’ll know I’ve tried everything and i don’t have to have any regrets i never have to have that dream anymore it’s dead so i can’t move on…

Even at a smaller scale when people come drawing with you and they quit after like 1 hour… that’s not it, i didn’t get here in 1 hour. It took me like 5 years and i’m not even good enough yet. So why would you quit (anything) after 1 hour ?

Everything that’s worth doing is difficult. That’s what i try to tell myself when i’m struggling with something. Would i want to do something that’s so easy that anyone could do it ? NO, the whole fun of it is knowing that you pushed through it.

Every great artist, Rembrandt like u mentioned, they did so many paintings you can’t really count the sketches and the little drawings just for fun, for learning and practice. In the end it was worth it.

What i love about these artist is that you can see their old sketches , like you can see Van Gogh, you an see his beginning sketches and say look he made « stupid » mistakes the same way i make mistakes and look at what he created…so it’s encouraging.

What feelings are you going through, right now, as an artist ?

Right now i’m at a transitional point, although i’d probably say that about every point on my career…hum

I got past the point of can i make it as an artist, can i earn a living. I answered it ; The answer is yes. So now that i’m out of that stress zone and i’m more confident on my ability to make money, the question for me is how do i wanna earn money ? What do i wanna do ?

And i’m starting to think about if i have the choice of doing commissions or working for and agency or doing publications or my own teaching/illustration, in a perfect world what does my life look like ? Because you start to be able to ask questions like that if things are going well. I’m starting to think i want to express myself more beyond just images. Like i wanna tell my story more i wanna talk about my life , i wanna talk about my feelings and i’m trying to find a way to do that. Part of it is done through being opened on social media. I also really wanna write more and illustrate things that are more personal to me and aren’t just still life and landscapes…i wanna share more of myself through my art.

Ofc that sounds like some hairy-fairy-lofty artist talk but I’ve been thinking about it a lot. How do i go from drawing apples and bananas to drawing how i feel inside?

Yeah, maybe that’s the goal we should all thrive to : expressing ourselves and tell a story.

Stories are like the heart of the human experience, it’s everything we do, all our relationships our lives…it’s all about communicating and telling stories. And i wanna contribute to that, i want my story to be a part of that because i love hearing other people’s stories.

At the end it’s tradition that i ask : if you could speak to you past-self or future-self which one would you choose and what would you say ?

My past-self. I think about that a lot because i had a really difficult childhood i was unhappy for most of my life until the past few years and….i don’t even think i would have said anything. If i had just seen as a young person that i would grow up and be OK and alive and have a career and be in love…if i just looked up at my adult self and knew that i was gonna be OK i’d be like « i can get through this ». I don’t think anything that i could say would communicate that. When i was younger i felt so lost and alone i felt like it would never end…if i just knew it would get better then it would have been easier…

It was a very interesting evening with Bryan. I’m really glad she came to Paris, meeting her made me want to hustle more and travel more. Talking with her felt educating and inspiring. I came a stranger, with a camera and recorder, and i left with emotions and stories of an artist i now call friend.

Thank you for reading this portrait, it was very dense but i hope you enjoyed getting to know Bryan more, as i did.

How should health insurance companies thank Obama?

I just found out that my health insurance, which used to have a $500.00 deductible, will now be MORE expensive and will now come with a 5,000.00 deductible!! Which means, in order to see any benefit at all, I have to fork over $7,000.00 of MY OWN MONEY!! Which basically means, I have no health insurance now yet I still have to pay for it because it is now the law! If I don't, I get garnished. Asking around, I have learned that this is happening to everybody. So instead of getting MORE people covered by health care, Obamacare is getting millions of people effectively kicked off! But because of the law, we still have to pay the insurance companies, while they are free to raise the deductible to the point where their only purpose is to sit back and collect our money. Great. So I think the insurance companies should fork over a big, fat billion dollars to Obama for the all the cash he sent them!""

I recently just bought a car. Its registered to me. Although it does not have any insurances right now. I have my G1, but I want to insure this car now, so I can drive it. (obviously with a licensed driver). I think I read that I can purchase insurances as a G1 driver, and just list someone else as the primary driver, until I get my G2. Does anyone know how expensive this might be? If I had my G2, the lowest insurance quote for my car I could find is about $450 a month. However, since I will be listing someone else as a primary driver, like my dad, would the price be significantly cheaper?""

How much would it cost to get added to someones insurance policy...?

I need to prove that I have insurance to get my license reinstated. My grandma said I can use her car, but I'm not covered. She has liability insurance for her car. How much would it cost me (18 year old male, inexperienced driver) to get added to her policy. It is a small, older 4 door car. Any idea about how much it would be extra a month for me to be added?

Is what my car insurance company doing legal?

I am in the process of purchasing a house. I received a quote from the insurance company I picked. And they said they could lower it even more if we add our 2 cars on. So they checked, and their offer for insurance on our cars was lower then what we are paying now. So saving us even more money. I went in, signed the papers for both auto's and the homeowners and was happy. They cancelled my previous auto insurance policies, and charged me my first month. Now, a week later, they are saying due to my previous car being stolen two years ago they can no longer offer me my 100 comprehensive deductible. They can only offer me a 1000 dollar deductible and if I choose not to accept they will cancel my auto insurance. This if frustrating considering my other insurance which wasn't bad to begin with has already been cancelled and I have already been charged my first month so if I don't accept I will have no insurance and my homeowners policy will go up in price. Sorry for the long explanation. I just don't think they should be able to get you in then change things up on you. Is there any law against that? Thanks for your help!!!""

How much does it cost to replace an in-dash navigation system and does insurance cover it?

So here's the story. I was driving in my 2012 Honda Civic today and got angry and punched my navigation system (I know. It was unbelievably stupid. I know.) Anyway, the screen is shattered now, but the system still works. I called up a Honda dealer who said it would cost $3600 not including parts and labor. When I search online, the navigation systems seems to cost between $250 and $700. So what I want to know is, how much should I expect to pay to get this fixed. How long does it take? Will my insurance cover it? If my insurance covers it, will my rates change? Is the dealer the best way to get it fixed?

Acting/ development of character.

Wednesday 23rd May

In this session we did a run of both the musicals. I felt confident with the energy I put in however, I realised I need to get off script to feel my character develop more as each run through I feel as though I just stand there and act with no emotion however, I cant work properly with a script in my hands therefore it was down to me to get rid of the script. After this run we found out that rock of Ages was finally improving and it was honestly the best news we could of possibly received considering each time we get feedback its always bad. Each number still needed more energy because there was just no love or passion there therefore there was not really a musical at this point. Some personal comments we received were:

- [ ] Radio GaGa practice dancing and singing at the same time to make them both strong. - [ ] Work on ‘someone to love’ backing vocals. - [ ] Only one heard out of female voices in ‘Killer Queen’ - [ ] pointed out for vocals in ‘I want it all’

We will rock you!- 2nd run through - [ ] Radio GaGa still not loud enough!! - [ ] stronger as a group! - [ ] cut out Galileo in the prison cell - [ ] I want it all- better aggression - [ ] ‘We will rock you’ finale get the audience on their feet - [ ] ‘I want it all’ improved level of volume and the rock theme. Face needs to show what your saying.

No massive comments were given on rock of ages in this session apart from it improved.

Friday 25th May

In this session we just decided to focus on Rock of ages to make sure it stayed as strong was it did on the previous session. I felt better on this run as I became more familiar with my lines and I finally brought my costume in. One comment which I'm used to getting and got again today was to put more emotion in the songs because recently I've just stood there and sang and shown nothing however, I need to start showing how my characters feeling through my voice and facial expressions. As next week is half term my next aim is to learn all my lines so I can think more in to character development.

- [ ] Good costume choice shows country and rock - [ ] Swap lines around : 1.Reading he book to get to place 2.say hi to the hooker after reading the book - [ ] Get a bag to create a more realistic mugging - [ ] I wanna rock choreography and singing really dropped. - [ ] emote in ‘more then words’ standing against the wall looked good. - [ ] take the mirror off Olivia and look in the mirror before going off. - [ ] waiting for a girl has no emotion- needs more practice so we can actually start ton pretend we have a connection. our connection needs to look real. - [ ] need to practice being a lesbian. - [ ] need to project in all songs because band will be louder on the night of the performance then in rehearsal- Class need to start putting more energy in and going for it more instead of letting other members of the class do it for you. - [ ] need to go for the fight, really shout at Becky.- need to project at each other more and start going for it to build the climax to give Lonny something to come over and disrupt.

Monday 4th June

In this session we did a full run through of the musical and I successfully came back from the half term with all my lines learnt. However, one thing I did forget was some of the dances especially one vision. The reason of this was because I was so focused on developing my character and researching different versions of Rock of Ages so I can see all the differences of how they play my character I hadn't had time to go over the routine. As it was the first session back peoples attitude were quite negative as they didn't want to be back rehearsing they would of rather been at home but to become professional you have to put all that behind you.

We will rock you - [ ] Not enough energy and is insulting to the show!! Directors weren’t focused as we didn’t show enough!- we don't deserve to do the musical at this point because we aren't giving it what it deserves. - [ ] GaGa kids smiley cheesy robots. - [ ] Low professionalism in the run. - [ ] Perform to the top of the theatre! - [ ] Entrances and exits need fixing. - [ ] No excitement or danger in the numbers. Need to be a push pull relationship with the band. - [ ] Need to be confident with the dances.

Rock of ages - [ ] Need more emotion shown on songs- Again I got this comment even though this time I was more focused unmaking sure my lines were perfected therefore I believe I could have it for next rehearsal. - [ ] Need more of a connection with Becky in ‘waiting for a girl.’- We still don't show any connections on stage together even though were trying I believe it is just coming across very awkward. - [ ] Provide magic you don’t get when watching the telly.- We need to show the audience why they should of came and watched the show and didn't stay at home and watch the telly.

Wednesday 6th June

In this session we saw that we were a lot further behind rehearsals then we should of been therefore, we made up for this by doing two rehearsals in one day. I believe this was a good idea because we needed the extra practice and our bodies needed to get used to performing full out so they wouldn't get tired quickly. Both runs were successful however, the second run was the most successful and this shocked me as I thought it would be worse as I thought people would of lost energy after already doing once. I was so pleased with how both of these runs went because not once did my emotion in songs needed to be improved I was honestly so proud off myself that I finally was able to get where I wanted to be in the song. My voice want the only thing showing emotion, it was now also my body language.

1st run

We will rock you - [ ] Radio GaGa complicite... more work on the cannon. - [ ] killer queen- best it’s been... lots of acting used, better vocals and facial expressions. - [ ] need to stay still in ‘one vision’ when your on the floor or stood still. Need to stay rigid so it looks more powerful.

Rock of ages - [ ] opening number feels like the opening to a musical. More playfulness has been added. Ending needs to be stronger. - [ ] need a leaflet and a suitcase and need a penny. - [ ] work on timing when I come and distract Becky from her song writing. - [ ] improvise Micheal Jackson section of ‘anyway you want it’ if can’t do the dance. - [ ] better movement transformation to show I’m sad when I’m coming off of the phone and start the song ‘more then words’ - [ ] Good vocals with trills on ‘harden my heart’ - [ ] Transition for the strip club needs to be tidier.

2nd run

Friday 8th June

Today we a full tech run of both the musicals and I believe this went a lot slower then it should of. The reason of this is because it was some peoples first time using microphones therefore we had to take things at a slow pace so people were able to keep up with what they were doing. People started to get very frustrated with this run because of how slow it was going however, I found this very unprofessional because we've all been in the same position at one point. I believe with the lighting and the mics I feel like I could really get into character this session as we had the full scenery. - [ ] make sure you always turn the mics off. - [ ] 80% of the show is been given. - [ ] still only 1 person catching people’s eye. - [ ] everyone needs to put passion init or it won’t work. - [ ] don’t be afraid of the microphone- play with it more. - [ ] if instrumental from the band starts while your speaking you have to say your lines in the mic. - [ ] Rock of ages- hit me with your best shot weakest number. Go to the back on the blocks instead of doing the Micheal Jackson move and have a chat, do makeup and hair and then come back to place ready for the repeat of the first verse. - [ ] knee slide needs working on in Don’t stop believing- more enthusiasm - [ ] Noticed for carrying on smiling even though I was probably in pain ahaha - [ ] if your doing a ballad- needs to be cheesy 80’s video RESEARCH!!!- - [ ] need to make songs more comedic and play them less serious- This note confused me as in the previous sessions I've been told to add emotion in. - [ ] need to make the audience feel like they wanna rock out. Need to play the characters and songs rights because the people who are watching it, will know these songs as it’s from there era. - [ ] colours and feather bowers for hit me with your best shot

Thursday 14th June

In this we did a run through of Rock of ages and I felt as though my character had finally started to develop each comment I receive I take it away and practice to make my character better and in each session I come in positive attitude and give 100% effort. After being told rock of ages drop after twenty minutes I was gutted because I try all the time and its unprofessional people who are bringing the whole class down because they don't want to try to they'd rather be else where.

‘Your’e only as strong as your weakest member’ therefore the whole class get brought down.

- [ ] Diction and clarity - Making sure are lines are clear enough for the audience to understand. - [ ] loose energy 20 minutes after rock of ages has started

Friday 15th June

Finally things started to come together more but most importantly me and becky started to have a connection. This is really important to me as it’s something we’ve been trying to improve on since we started rehearsals and it finally started to seem as though it was coming together. The hardest thing was to make mine and becky’s kiss feel as though it was real and we had a connection this was because it was such an awkward thing to do without an audience there. At first I felt as though the audience would make it worse but I've now realised it doesn't. if someone came in rehearsals to watch it felt so much easier and natural. - [ ] More work on singing - [ ] need a mic for radio GaGa - this is because the journey of the mics keep changing. - [ ] killer queen number should be what everyone goes for - [ ] journey of he mics need to be remembered, can’t use different mics all the time - [ ] ‘nothing but a good time’ and ‘don’t get better then this’ said to the audience because they need to know they won't get anything better then this show. - [ ] I wanna know what love is harmony good. Make sure both harmonies are done - [ ] waiting for a girl- playing with it more better today. - [ ] Big songs, people are going missing- not everyone’s pulling in the same direction (people rely on others and people are becoming more tired as they have to do the work that people don't want to do.

Tuesday 19th June

This was the week of the show and one of our last rehearsals and I honestly couldn't wait for show day! However, even though I like to take comments on board and work on them I was so angry at how many improvements I had to make before the show. The reason of this is because I have been playing the exact same character since day one of rehearsal and made improvements so why didn't I get these notes sooner to give me more time to work on them? This frustrated me however, I wanted to prove to my directors I had what it takes to be challenged even if the show was only a few days away. Rehearsals were more enjoyable now then stress because I felt like we finally had a show therefore people were enjoying out more and coming into sessions in more of a professional manner. One thing that made me feel like I have achieved something was the vocals were now louder then the band and the audience were struggling to hear them because of how much effort everyone was giving.

I was little down hearted after this session because it was mentioned I had no emotion in some of the songs however, I believe I was able to change this before show day! I felt like this session it was because I was to excites to show emotion because it was show week!

We will rock you - [ ] we will rock you looks like we’ve got more of a show - [ ] chorus are miming most of the time- people are using more of their energy to make up - [ ] reaction good of the GaGa kids. - [ ] killer queen is the first musical theatre number cause it seems like we’re performing that one more then the others. - [ ] research what rocking out looks like.

Rock of ages - [ ] opening number is good but needs to be big!! - [ ] act as though your actually at the oscars. - [ ] need to show emotion in sister Christian instead of standing there, Giving nothing - [ ] emote after Becky said she loves me because I kind of heard her even tho I said I love her. Blush. - [ ] show I’m effected of the wafting wind to add humour to the song. (Girl like you) - [ ] show that stacee Jax amazes me, eyes and mouth open- I wanna know what love is. - [ ] still need to act innocent in the strip club ... Hungarian dance alter ego move needs to be worked on. - [ ] here I go again happy/ angry. People miming it. - [ ] laugh at each other in mine and Drew’s argument to create more tension. - [ ] every rose. NEED TO LEARN HARMONIES. Sit in the back in a train of thought and see justice walk past and then stop her to talk about my problems. - [ ] Giving it loads in don’t stop believing but need to put that much effort in all the other songs- need to want it in all the songs not just the finale!

Show day

I honestly couldn't of been any prouder of myself after the shows. When performing I could actually feel that I put emotion in when in rehearsals I was confused if I was or wasn't however, during the shows I felt it. I also started to use gestures in the show and it wasn't forced like it was in rehearsals it felt more natural and smooth. I was honestly so worried with how it was going to go but I felt myself shine at this role and I have been priverliged to have the opportunity to challenge myself and play my chapter like this one. Another thing which I did on show night which I don't believe I did in rehearsals was let myself go more. On show night my character was totally over the top and it felt right it didn't feel awkward or embarrassing I just had fun with it and I feel like this is the most important of a show. I felt as though there was even more of a connection with me and Becky as we became closer at the end of ‘waiting for a girl’ and if there was awkward moments between us we didn't feel awkward do to the audience having a moment of laughter. Something I would of improved on in the show was the robbing scene just because that does feel quite awkward to play as I don't feel like it happened fast enough also when I'm at the bourbon room and I jump of the blocks to get there coin, I kept forgetting to set the coin on stage however, I don't think the audience noticed. I am gutted the shows are over and I'd love to do it all again!
