Character Profile:
My long term target:
To be aware of what's around me (use spacial awareness) and to know where I have to be on stage and try not to pace.
Unit 3 Acting Skills Audit: DATE: 24.9.14
Throughout your blog you will be marked on:
P2 Present an on-going review of acting skills, describing strengths and areas to develop
M2 Present an on-going review of acting skills, describing strengths and areas to develop, setting achievable targets for improvement and reviewing progress
D2 Present an on-going review of acting skills, describing strengths and areas to develop, setting achievable targets for improvement and evaluating progress
Workshop and rehearsal observations:
Which acting strengths have you been able to demonstrate today? How?
I have showed good articulation and projection. I managed this by making sure my mouth, tongue and throat were all warmed up and ready for speaking. I also feel my pace and use of pausing was very good as I have studied the script very closely. Some other important things I kept in control were: Gesture, focus and control, staying in role, characterisation and using my character's objective to drive my emotions in the piece.
Some key words:
articulation
projection
breath control
learning lines
pitch, inflection and modulation
tone and vocal colour
phrasing
pace
use of pause
gesture
facial expressions
characterisation
staying in role
balance
coordination
movement memory
spatial awareness
weight placement
focus and control
relaxation
pace, energy and dynamics
Which acting skills do you need to develop based on the workshop today? Why?
Something I need to work on is gesture because during our rehearsals I was finding my gesturing very limited. I think is because I was holding a script so once my lines are learnt I will make sure they improve. I also need to improve on my spacial awareness because sometimes I may be cramped with whoever I'm acting with on one side or one particular part of the stage. I also feel I need to work on my stance as sometimes I tend to slouch or stand in a position that may not fit my character or my character's mood.
Set yourself three targets:
1. To be aware of what's around me and be aware of who and what is on stage with me.
2. Think about my character's objective and use those thoughts and feelings to project through my role.
3. To pace my words so that I can come across to the audience as if it's the first time I've heard what the other character is saying.
Reflect on the targets set: Have they been achieved? How?
I achieved my first target by learning my lines which then helped me to know where I needed to be on stage at what time. I also used some directing from Miss Bailham to help me so that I was in the best place I could be.
I achieved my second target in an exercise that Miss Goodall gave us to do. We had to write down what our character really meant from their line so we could really get through to what the character was really feeling. And then we had to perform our scenes but instead of saying our scripted lines we had to say our subtext lines.
I don't feel I've reached full enough potential to get my third target as I was fairly new to learning my script in this lesson so all I really focused on was getting the words right. This is something I will work on in upcoming lessons and at home.
