Cinderella: mild, meek, not very confident

Young Norwegian Princess: crown
Milkmaid: stick over shoulders to carry milk
The Greatest Primadonna in Milan: arms spread, soaking up your audience
An heiress who has always had her silk made: hair & nails
Girl friends go mad for: roll die

instrumental: you're imagining all of the wonderful things you could be doing

Slave in Calcutta: shackles
Queen in Peru: scepter
Mermaid dancing upon the sea: dance

Huntress on an African Safari: shogfun
Pirate: You're on a pirate ship, looking for treasure. Hold "gun" up, and then look at hand and open it, realising there's nothing there!
Explorer: Lost in the jungle & meet a lioness - you're making your way through the jungle, looking for the lost city of El Dorado and then SCARED

Glad to be home: relief!

Lovely work on this piece!! Keep singing it so you can get really comfortable and confident with your little snippets of characters.

See if you can have this memorised by next week.

Beautiful!!! It's sounding so good.

Be careful you're not tripping over:
Norwegian - "nor-wee-jan"
heiress - "an air-ress"

and make sure you're getting big breaths before the phrases, especially near the end.

Intro I'm as mild as as meek...... strong but contained.
Then when you come in to in my own little corner you get bigger and open up, then keep it nice and big for all of your characters.

Diction and enunciation!

I'm as Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild and as meeeeeeeeeeeek as a mouuuuuuuse - elongate your vowels, and then crisp consonant on the end

BUT, I know of a spot - IN MY HOUSE

The rest - lots of character, purposeful movement.

* but I know of a spot in my house

* big breaths throughout - lots of support

* big movements through your arms and face

HAVE FUN!
