Scholars take preparation for trio seriously

July 23, 2008 1:39 AM

In order to improve their breathing technique, the Scholars have to undergo a daily exercise routine. Every morning, each Scholar is required to have a 30-minute run on the treadmill while singing his or her Gala Night song. This task was given to them by Teacher Monet Sunday night, and it took effect the morning after.

Some found the activity easy, while some just couldn’t properly apply the breathing. One Scholar that had a hard time was Van. While singing and jogging at the same time, he was obviously running out of breath.

In line with the said activity, the Scholars are required to wake up early to perform the said activity. And since the Scholars were not used to waking up really early, some of them woke up in a rather cranky mood.

In their media performance class, Direk Joey conducted group coordination exercises to help them come up with effective choreography for their upcoming Gala Performance Night. One of the activities that Direk Joey held was the mirror exercise, wherein two Scholars will stand in front of each other and portray a mirror image of the other. To relate the said activity with their lesson, he explained to the Scholars the three important elements in group singing, namely, voice blending, sensitivity with other members’ movements, and individuality. According to him, if they could keep these three pointers in mind, then they won’t be having any troubles with their performances.

And since it will definitely be a tough week ahead of them, Mr. Pure Energy, Gary V, decided to drop by and give the Scholars pieces of advice and words of encouragement. Aside from speaking as a veteran in the industry that they are longing to be part of, Mr. Pure Energy also took some time to enlighten the Scholars’ spirituality.

After having a very inspirational talk with Gary V, will the Scholars finally find that urge to persevere to pursue their dreams? With only a few more days before the Gala Night, are the Scholars ready for it? Find out by staying tuned on Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 and see for yourself.
