Blog 9: Advisory House Prep

1. State whether or not you currently have a mentor, and what the status of your interview is with that person (I have completed the interview, I have scheduled the interview, I have not scheduled the interview, etc).
My mentor is the musical director of the children's theater, Lisa Pettygrove. I have not interviewed her yet but I will the last Tuesday of October. I will hopefully interview the other musical director, Jackie, who works for the young adults theater.

2. At this point, your research is probably guiding your studies toward more specific areas within your topic.  Name the area or two you find most promising and explain your reasons.   

Vocals and the process of a show from the director's eyes. By vocals, I mean as in how to keep them healthy, warm ups, how to match your tone and pitch with the different types of songs, and so on. And the process of a show is self explanatory but I will be relying on one journal/book to use.

3. What kinds of sources do you think will help you in the next month to gain more research depth?  Where will you go to get them?

I will definitely be relying on interviews and some articles/journals from libraries to go into depth with my research since it is getting a bit more difficult. I'm not sure exactly what but hopefully I find something that I can branch out into.

4. Write down a possible EQ.  Please don't worry about wording other than ensuring that it provides the option for multiple correct answers.  At this point, the senior team is most interested in understanding your thought process.

How can a director showcase a successful musical?
