Jordans blog week 7

Week 7 – Monday 12th August to the 16th August – Stage school This week was the start of me teaching drama to a class, I was working a long side kiddus and our volunteer Naz at the Rushcliffe leisure centre on the YMCA day camp. In the first day I made an impact on the group and I felt really proud because these were younger children and your attitude can attack them in one or two ways, one they could grow towards me and two they could just dislike you, lucky for me they just liked me I guess. I found it very easy to work with them because children from 5 onwards their minds are so creative and fun to work with. Each day we had even more wanting to join our classes because of previous young people were mentioning how amazing our classes were. I enjoyed just teaching the young people drama skills, and directing them I truly believe I have found what I am good at doing as a teaching preference. They just took direction from me with no problems, they understood everything I was doing and explaining and on top of all of that they just behaved and made my job so easy. At the end of each day we gave out awards to the young people who deserved them, it was so hard to choose because they all did well so I had to choose the ones who had opened up the most during the session that day. Wednesday 14th August – Artist management In this session my artist wanted to have all the songs that he had done in this session completed production-wise. This artist has come along way in and outside of these sessions, I believe this artist could have something that needs to be shared with the industry. After their tracks were completed they went straight into recording their new track for their L.P, although they didn’t get to finish the track I learnt from this artist. The technique that they use in the studio when recording their vocals was so interesting it showed both energy and breath control, at first it seemed weird but different and then after talking to the artist about why they record in that way it became so obvious and impressive.
