Acting Lesson 05/06/13

In this lesson we started the day with a physical and vocal warm-up, the vocal warm-up was leaded by thomas his warm-up was to get in a group of 3, name yourselves A,B and C and then say a line in a accent you were given, my line was "what lovely weather were having" I had to say this line in a scottish accent, the other two accents were liverpoolian and russian.This vocal warm-up helped me create a stronger yorkshire accent, which will also help me get into character alot better.

before this lesson, we arranged a rehearsal for monday after college, only leannes group, and half of my group turned up, I was alright withit purely because we used the rehearsal time to go through lighting cues and tp test the lights alongside of the script.

We then arranged another rehearsal for tuesday 2-4pm, and only me, nadine and nikita showed up, I wasnt happy because I had told my group before this date so they knew; anyway we read  through the script and then me and leanne helped nadine with lines that she had trouble on.

We had rehearsed on wednesday during lesson and we had to performthe whle play backto the class, my first group (nikita, jess, shyanne and me) was good we knew the cues of when to go and they knew there lines upto Daz and trev, I found that after this performance it made our group more confident.

My second group (nicole, me, nadine and lisa) didnt go so well, they had learnt there lines but at some point they cut out some of the script because they didnt know there cues, so the script didnt make any sense; so we arranged a rehearsal at leannes for thursday for my second group and they all showed up, we rehearsed the lines and explained that the play was a rhythmatic play, so we went through the poem parts so they understood it.

On friday we had our assessment for shakers, my second group went second from last, the reason I chose for them to go last is because the time of the other shakers group and the bouncers group would give them enough time to go through their lines, so we went third and it went well but we got stopped after the business men scene.

Then my other group went last, this group went well because we knewour cues and our lines, so the poem made sense, and it made the audience laugh which was good, but we got stopped on the waitresses break scene.
