In this lesson my group worked on the cooking scene which is near the end of the performance.In this scene the main charcaters are me and Victoria, Victoria comes onto the stage first and sits down at the cooking table and starts to stir her food and looks around to see if anyone is around and than tastes the food and spits it back into the bowl. than i walk on behind her whith a big box of oranges and she gets a shock and starts working normally. I pull some faces as if i was gonna sneeze and than i do a long, over dramtic, loud sneeze over the oranges. than i put the oranges down beside the table and used a big gesture to wipe my nose down my sleeve. some oranges fall out of my top and Victoria asks what i am doing and i start to complain about all the things doreen is making me do for example shes making me make orange soup even though there is no such thing shes making me bath her and clean her everything she could do herself, and i think about her making me wipe her back side so i shout, 'and if she wants me to wipe her back side, ill show you where this orange will be going' and than Victoria doesnt listen to me so i shout 'are you listening to me i want a reply, reply to me!' and i start to throw oranges of her and she doesnt notice until one of the oranges go into her bowl and splash all of the food out of it and all over her. than she says ' who are you on about ?' and i say ' that bitch upstairs!' but than when we had someone watch that scene, we figured that bitch was to much of a modern word and was not soemthing that someone would say in the time of the production. so we changed it to lady smuck.

my weaknessess in this performance was my voice, i have to work on not say my lines to fast. I have to slow my dialouge down and lower the tone of my voice cause i shout my dialouge when i should say it.

    I had no acting part so i guess i failed at that one but the Acts were all improvised because we had forgot the lines we were going to say. And for singing we just had to teach them independently my just dance verse was cut out though by me because i couldn’t remember it on the day we performed it. So i sang a bit of Pokerface instead. In my Opinion I can’t sing at the right pitch in anything we also interpreted lyrics for Bad romance and Just dance and changed a few words in Just Dance instead of saying “conflict” at the beginning of the song, we changed it to “Goo-goo”…

    By being honest with myself about my weaknesses and working on it day by day. Public speaking has been a fear of mine since elementary school. I was chosen to do a school play and soon as I stepped foot on the stage my mind went blank. I forgot every word because of the large audience that’s watched my every move. Since then I can say my stage freight has improved because I work with the pubic everyday in retail. I also have a c…

    Damn Fever Monologue

    I thought I would immediately rush the stage and began belting out the tunes of the song, amazing the audience with my brilliant monologue. Reality quickly set in. It seems I was rather naïve to think this way because before I could do perform, there was much work to be done. For starters, I had to rehearse and practice my lines over and over until I memorized them. This was not easy since I had to absorb the essence of the message behind every line of my monologue. “Was I expressing the correct emotions? Was I angry or was I expressing a joyous emotion?” There were doubts that crossed my mind. Before I could sing “Heart,” I had to participate in vocal warm-ups making sure to carry out every note clearly, making sure to carefully…

    One of my goals for this year going into contest is to make it into and perform at all-state speech, mainly for individual musical theatre. In order to accomplish this, I have picked out a difficult aria to perform. It challenges my voice to do things it has not had to do often while challenging my acting as well, as it is comedic rather than dramatic. It is stretching my skills to, hopefully, an impressive level that will be good enough to wish to see me perform in the highest honor you can receive as a part of speech.…

    The first thing that I noticed in my introduction is that I need a better attention grabber. It was good, but there is definitely a better way to get the audience’s attention. The biggest thing in my speech that I noticed the most was the eye contact. I tend to look down at my notecards a lot. I review my speech over and over again before I give it, and almost memorize it, but it is my worst fear to speak in front of people so that is why I look down at my cards so much. Also, I have my cards too close to my face. The second thing that caught my attention while watching myself was that I need to have more gestures with my hands. Having a little bit more mobility with my hands will put more emphasis on the things that I am trying to say to the audience. The power point that I made was simple, but I feel like it got the points across and corresponded with my speech. I thought my tone throughout the speech was good. I feel like my tone of voice is very personable with the audience and not too soft or loud. Another thing that I thought I did well was pausing. I let my information sink in with the audience with a pause. I tend to use a lot of head movement when I’m speaking, and it is distracting to the audience. I used some humor in my speech by giving funny pictures and saying some things in my speech that made the audience laugh. I gave some time to let the humor set in with a pause and then proceeded to go on with my speech, so I thought that I used humor in my speech pretty well. My speech needs to be more conversational. When I watched myself speak, it seemed like I was reading it a little bit. With a more conversational way of speaking, you can attach yourself to the audience rather than reading your speech. Saying that, when I was speaking I was standing with good posture and speaking with a good tone. Even though I may have not been speaking conversationally, I think that my posture made up for it a…
