Duologue assessment

On Wednesday the 13th on February me and Leanne had our Duologue assessment. To start our lesson we done a Relaxation method which was to lay on the floor and to visualize, we had to tense our muscles starting from our feet through to our head, then we had to imagine all our stress and worries are in a bubble and that you push the bubble away. After this we did a physical warm-up which was to walk around the room pretending we were a old person, prisoner, superstar or our character. Then we did a vocal warm-up which was to stand in a C shape and one of us at a time say a line from our Duologue. and that was our vocal warm up.

I worked with Leanne Gair and her Character was Hazel Brent who was Frances best friend and my CCharacter was Frances Stein who was a Nerd

In our performance I thought I did well compared my last assessment, I mainly thought about my lines so I didnt forget them, but for this assessment I took some thought about my breath control to aim for a distinction, We added movement to the duologue, which made our performance look more realistic. For the assessment I put on a little posh voice to make me sound like a geek but also like a 12 year old and I thought that the posh voice made the characeter stand out. In the last assessment I had to work on the Projection of my voice and within a few lessons I have improved.

Half way through the performance I did say the wrong words and the wrong time but I tried to make it look like I mis-read the notebook. If I had the chance to perform the Duologue again, than I would Re read my lines and I would make sure that I Perform my lines correctly.

The targets I would set my self would be to work more on speaking with an accent or posh voice, so It would add more interest to the scene, also even as I improved a slight bit on my Breath and projection I still would work on that main subject to make sure I perform as best as I can.
