Rebecca attended a rehearsal for songs with her vocal coach on time and in the proper attire. She had a positive attitude and helped other members by picking out harmonies. Her main focus during the rehearsal was improving her solo performance of Sandra Dee's reprise based on previous feedback about projecting her voice more confidently. By the end of the rehearsal, she successfully sang her solo section loudly and clearly from the back of the theater, incorporating the coaching she received. As a result, she felt more comfortable with her solo and planned to continue working hard.

2: Conduct during rehearsals - Did this person behave in a positive and
focused way during rehearsals? Assess their contribution to the success of
the rehearsal. Please be as specific as possible.
Rebecca was very professional throughout the rehearsal. She was supportive to other
team members, helping me, Betsy and Ellie to pick out harmonies in Summer Nights
and Freddy My Love. However, Rebecca’s main priority during this rehearsal was to
work on her solo section. This is because she was previously given feedback about
needing to project her voice to the audience and be more confident. By the end of this
rehearsal, she managed to reach her targets. She sang her solo, in the theatre, with
the singing tutor sat at the back of the audience and she said that she could hear every
word now because her projection had improved that much. Rebecca sang her section
of the Sanda Dee reprise in time and in tune, hitting all of the notes easily. We all
commented on how much more confident she seemed after this rehearsal and she said
she felt much more comfortable now and that she would continue to work this hard on
her solo and that she felt really good about it now.
