And so a new day a new show the 2nd preview with one already under our belts to a paying and respectably sized audience today us extras would go from a good high number of 13 to a low of 8 people so what was needed from us was more energy, for that energy to be sustained, for voices to be heard, to be louder, to compensate and for most part i think we did it but one scene we could of been more vocal, and in another there were some missed cues which didn't effect the actors, it didn't mess up anything they were doing but for part of the scene i was on, on my own and maybe to the audience it might of looked a bit bare, as it should of been busy to help the context of the scene, but these things cant be helped they happen and we move on, we take note and improve the next show. the audience we had tonight was nearly double the size of the first preview and were much more vocal, there were many more laughs which is always a good thing.
Fellow extra Sally Nix said of her experience "Tonight, everyone seemed to have second night jitters, which meant that the tough tracks scene was even worse, but that show business! It was still an enjoyable night and the audience laughed in all the right places, they were called an 'intelligent' audience by Jon Rumney who plays Daniel Heire" sally can be found on twitter @sallydramarcher
