This unit is linked to unit 5 and 6 and enables you to reflect, analyse and report on your current and future progression.It will encourage you to take stock of your skills and abilities and make realistic choices when its looking at work for unit 6' collaboration performance project.
Just by reading what this publish play is about - the story is what attracted me into wanting to do the monologue, there is a lot of Drama, there is marriage and pregnancy - One doesn't want to have the child - worried because hes got a good job - his studies are going well, he loves his studies. There is a lot going on by just reading what this play is about.
ANALYSE PROGRESS AND PERFORMANCE
Since starting this course from finishing level 2 performing arts, I have witnessed great progress. I had a lot going on at the start of the course but I overcame it and never gave up. I did feel vulnerable at the start because I wasn't expecting to have a rough time outside of my course which effected me because I didn't want to start off that way especially because its a fresh new level for me after I did great in level 2 performing arts and got a MERIT!.
I've made mistakes in the beginning where id forget my lines and so on but I've learnt from it and since then id put aside everything that will distract me from performing and become the confident actor that I was in level 2. I've taken a lot of things from level 2 to guide me through this course a long with the new lessons and skills I've gained in this course.
This year there was a lot of Team Work involved this year because our class is so big so which is different to me because my class last year was really small. Building something as a group benefits us individually, you gain the skill to be able to help others and yourself, giving ideas of your own to help your group and gives others the confidence to do the same- this gains a very creative performance and most importantly to get the story across to the audience. This skill also help us to be able to help other people in the future with those we don't know when we are in a different environment.
I have many plans for my future.I definitely want to go to Drama School because It offers an intensive three-year course that prepares students physically, vocally and mentally. Drama offers a focused and practical approach of training - so ill be attending Brits School.
I love to be in front of a camera so YouTube is also another thing ill be doing, share my life with my subscribers and when i gain a lot of subscribers I would like to work with children, visit children in different schools and help them build a good school play.
When I find myself an agent then ill start my acting career depending on where my life takes me, I believe if you chase your dream, you will gain it and succeed no matter where your life takes you
24th June the day everyone performs there monologue. I was pretty nervous, i always get nervous before performing I guess its normal the character I was trying to play was just a girl talking to her friend but is also in her own world when shes talking about the man she loves, but in my head I was thinking about the lines line by line which made me realise that I should've went through my lines over and over again so it doesn't seem like I am ticking off lines in my head because that's what was making me nervous when I was performing my monologue but I got through it.
When everyone had there turn to perform their monologue we had a little break and then we had to sit in a circle - Rob then gave us our feedback...
My feedback was to:
- Be less robotic
- Go over the lines more
- Play around with the speech
- Add different emotional levels
- Drive it more in terms of voice
I will for sure take these feedback and carry it with me in the future when I go off to second years, I feel like this is my chance to now use everything iv'e learnt and use it to guide me into the actor I am meant to be.
