| Emotion: |
Humour Your goal is to get the director and the audience to smile and laugh with and at you. |
| Delivery: |
Become a humorous, silly, and carefree character. To bring out the humour, over-do all your expressions. Since you are a bit crazy, over-do the singing of the lyrics like they make total sense… … all of your "doo-s" and "dum-s" are very important - of course they are. Become a Vaudeville-like character. Not clown-like, but over-do things as a clown would do. |
| Spirit: |
Carefree, even silly at times. Become mock formal at times. |
| Visual: | Use your face and eyes to accentuate the character and the humour. |
| Physical: | Staying within the visual envelope of the chorus, allow your body to move to reflect the freedom and carefree attitude of the character you are portraying. |
