23/9/14 - Reflecting on my acting skills audit

Let's recap on the three targets I set myself on this audit:

1. Learn to relax my body
2. I need to work on my characterisation
3. I need to project my voice louder whilst acting

First of all, I wasn't particularly able to work on the first target as we didn't actually do any tough/thorough warm-ups or physical activities. I'll work on that this Thursday!

I feel that I have really refined my character's traits in the last lesson (22/9/14). I understand more of my character and how she would be feeling at the time of my scene. I am more confident (especially as I have learnt all my lines) in pulling off a good performance.

The small, stuffy classroom was very loud at one point with every student working on their scenes so I really had to raise my voice. I realised that this was helping me with my projection. I felt that I was saying my lines slower, louder and clearer. I also felt myself using my diaphragm.
