Vaibu Mohan- What do I bring to the table assignment

1. Strengths as a singer, dancer, and actor

1. Singer- I am a proficient singer in classical vocal technique,
contemporary/Golden age musical theatre, and Carnatic (Indian classical) vocal
technique. I am a versatile vocalist and am a very quick study. I am an excellent
sight singer and can learn difficult music with little to no guidance. I also have a
wide array of vocal repertoire ranging from pop, disco, funk, alternative, and
country.
2. Dancer- I have been training as a Bharatanatyam dancer for 16 years. This is a
form of South Indian classical dance which I am proficient in as a performer and
choreographer. I have also trained in ballet and jazz for 4 years and tap for 4
years. I am comfortable when someone uses dance terminology when teaching
a combination. I also feel that I embody the energy of pieces I dance very well
and can communicate that in my performance. I categorise myself as a strong
mover and I am a quick study. I can learn choreography very quickly and
internalise it. I also have experience in Bollywood, salsa, bachata, and zumba.
3. Actor- I have training in Shakespeare, Meisner, and Stanislavsky technique. I am
a receptive acting partner and focus on receiving what my partner is giving me
and reacting to that. I approach my characters from the energy I am receiving
from them and I stay unbiased and impartial when I am doing my prep work. My
job is not to judge my character but to tell their story. I am equally comfortable
in classical work as I am in contemporary pieces.
2. Personal strengths
1. I am dependable, trustworthy, and reliable. When I make a commitment, I will
see that commitment through. I always arrive to rehearsal early so that I can
warm up in the space and assess the energy of the room. I always try to bring
my best and most positive energy to the rehearsal room and help extend that
energy out to everyone else in the room. I am respectful of everyone’s time in
the room and try to make the most of our rehearsal time together. As a director,
 I always start my rehearsals by checking in with everyone who is in the room and
meeting them where they are. I find that asking people to bring what they have
encourages them to assess their energy and try to put their best foot forward as
well.
3. Physical strengths
1. My eyes are the best feature of my face. I’m tall and curvy. I have long legs
which gives me nice extension.
4. Weaknesses
1. I can keep working on my dance skills. I am not the most technically proficient
dancer so that can be improved. I can keep working on my mix in my vocal
training. I have a strong upper and lower register and I still need to work on
bridging them. I need to get better at allowing myself to make mistakes and a
mess in the rehearsal room. I still expect perfection from myself even in the
rehearsal room, but I need to risk big and fail big because failure is just another
learning experiences.
