One Down, One To Go!

First of all, pat yourselves on the back for surviving the first round of performances. I saw the seeds of good characterization, strong expression, and physically representing your character. I was pleased overall. The performances on the 29th and 30th will be awesome! =)

A few comments that apply to all of you:

1. Don't be afraid to put pauses in the lines. Just because one sentence follows another doesn't mean you should say your words in one steady stream. Pauses can add dramatic emphasis.

2. Speak slowly. (I have to preach this to myself!) What sounds intelligible to you is probably still a bit fast.

3. Enunciate all your words. Spit those consonants out.

4. Speak in thought groups, not according to line breaks. (Most of you are doing just fine with that.)

5. The better your memorization, the better your performance. You'll never perform well if you don't know your lines cold.


I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Enjoy the day off ... and work on your monologue. ;)

Phew! Good job, everyone! It was hilarious today, hearing everyone muttering their monologues under their breath (I was, too!). :-)

From Mrs R:
I deleted the above comment because it was by some random person who posted a link to an ad.

So if you ever see deleted comments, that's probably the reason.

Have a great weekend!

Yeah!!!
We did it! I think everyone did a great job - and that everyone needs to work on some things! That was a lot to memorize considering that we had to squeeze it into everyday life! Acting is not my favorite thing, but I enjoyed watching everyone else! Good job peoples! Keep at it!
