Okay, I think I have this song down.
And I'm producing high notes much better than usual...

(After seeing those two perform, I felt that I also should do everything I can. That I need to do my best...)
Nene
(Which is why I've been trying to do what Tsukasa did. I've been working on becoming the Cowardly Canary...)
Nene
(I watched the birds as they gathered on the trees in the park, and tried singing based on how I think they're feeling...)
Nene
(As a result, compared to when we first started, I've been able to immerse myself into my characters much better.)

(We're supposed to start practicing scenes that include the Cowardly Canary tomorrow.)

And by the time the curtains go up...
I'll have my Cowardly Canary polished to perfection.

Alright, as I mentioned before...
Starting today, we'll be working on the scenes where Rio meets the forest's various birds as he chases after the Phoenix.

Rui
Yes, she's certainly captured a canary's singing voice nicely. Going through the trouble of breaking down her character seems to have been well worth it.

Stop there.
Director
Rio.
You overdid it there when the canary shooed you away.

Yes, it is important to exaggerate in order to get your message across to the audience. However, there are times when that can work against you.
Nene
(I thought Tsukasa did a really good job just now. It felt so real and yet there's still things to work on...)
Nene
(I was able to sing the first part the way I practiced it, but my acting still felt...)
Director
Next, Canary...
Director
Your acting wasn't bad...
Director
Yes, I thought you captured the Cowardly Canary's personality rather well.
Director
Just work on your breathing.
As you gain a better understanding of what it means to be “cowardly”, you should be able to speak and act in a more convincing fashion.

Director
Now, that is all regarding your acting...
Director
As for your singing, it simply won't do at this rate.
Director
Your character sings two songs in total during this show. The second one in particular plays a vital role in changing how Rio and the phoenix view one another.
Director
As your current rate, you're going to struggle to move the audience. At the moment, Kusanagi, your singing sticks out just that much.
Director
Please research what the Cowardly Canary is supposed to sound like for this show while keeping in mind how your lines and songs are tied together.
Director
Now, our next scene has... The Great Eagle!
Omori
Present!
