Sienna on the Mic Check
Friday, May 11, 2012 at 2:25PM "Deanna from Denver - Welcome to the BIG TIME, girl!" is written on the gold star that was sitting on top of the pink roses. My Secret SNAPper was listening to my mic check!
It probably would have been hard not to hear me since the wings were loaded with the next scene and the sound is available in ever speaker backstage. Earlier, I had asked someone, "Why does everyone count when they do a mic check?" 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.... we're on stage because we're creative and talented. If there's a mic in hand, use it!
At the end of rehearsing one of our numbers, the guy at the sound board asked each us to test our mics. "And, Dianna... #13... (Hello, I'm Dianna!)... keep talking..."
I had created a character for the show, Sienna Momo. She has a particular voice- high, squeaky, a little nasally. She began talking. She rambled on about she was excited to be in her first stage production, how her parents would be there sitting in the balcony, and how the high altitude of Denver affected her voice. There was laughter from the house and laughter from the wings. Miss Momo had her moment on stage!
It's fun to play different characters by changing my voice, speech pattern, mannerisms, the way I stand and walk. My voice coach thinks I would be great in drama. She has recognized that I see art in everything, and this is true. I already study everyone and everything around me.
We'll see where Sienna Momo goes from here. I think she'll be around for a while. :D
