This week we have practcing our play, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). I am trying really hard to work on my weak points, such as being loud (projection) and atriculating when saying everything. But what I have the hardest time with is catching breath and not knowing when to put a pause in my beginning monolouge. I tend to get tired and my voice cracks when i do the beginning. I realize it happens because my voice is losing strength because I am unable to catch my breath.
I am trying really hard to ad pauses and slow down my monolouge so can breath. Along with that I am having two other parts in the intro. I have to be been for a part when I am talking about the children and how they should fend for themselves. Being mean is the toughest challenge for me. I try my hardest to be mean but than I end up breaking character or it doesnt sound mean at all. I think I should just forget about trying and be mean.
And what is hard is when i have to praise Mayra went she is 'preaching to the crowd'. I think the character should go all out, but going all out is a tougher challenge. How to act like that when I am saying those lines confuses me. I think I am doing it completely wrong because i really dont know how to do it right. It might take more time for me to graasp this concept.
I think this play will be amazing! Everything will fall in place in the end, just like it always does. And the tech/dress rehearsals that are coming up will help as well. I hoping for the best for this show and i really want it to work out, for our director, Sam. Our teacher, Ms. Langess and our entire class. Hoping.
