week 2


This week was mainly to do with auditions, to see what part would push us as an actor. While reading the script I found that most characters had some relation and summarily to Helen of Troy. On the first day there was not any character that which stood out for me in the script. The main reason for this was because I tend to like the over to characters, at first I thought this may have been an issue. After Monday I was stuck with parts of the script I would like to try, so went home thinking that this could be script I would start to hate, hate is quite hard to put on script that you haven’t even started fully , so the only thing I could do is to carry on and hope for the best for the rest of the week.

The next day with acting and put the script on to feet was Wednesday, Wednesday was slightly harder for Karan to see us in characters that we may have sorted, due to the fact that it was auditions for the next year to start the course. This did not put me off with trying best so I could get a full insight with the characters, as it may help me with making a decision. One of the main characters that stood out to me while acting it out with Jeannine as I liked how the power changed during the scene, the issue with getting this part would be that it was too much alike as Helen Of Troy.

 
There was one part that i really did not one in the script and this was Anne, this was because of the Shakespeare that Anne has to relay and I’m not the biggest fan of Shakespeare scripts. I don’t really have reason to give for why I’m not guess but I think one of the reasons may have been that we study him so much in school. So on Thursday when I was asked to act of the script as Anne I was not the happiest person in the world, I guess after trying it and working more on it my heart kind of lighting up to the character. Also we found that Anne was different from Helen Of Troy as she was sweet and soft with her body image.

Once I began with the Shakespeare speech it kind of felt different and I felt that I was on stage and really relaying the words in front of millions of people, this was the first time i have felt this while studying acting. So even thou i have been cold hearted toward Anne the character have inspired me.  So when I was told that my casting was Anne I was kind of happy even though I never showed it.

 The reason why I’m happy that i go0t Anne in the end that she is different and in a way i can relate to her going out and wishing for something, as i have a wish that if I don’t do well in acting or go on to study law that I’m knowing the music industry. Also the time period of Anne is when the great plague of London began and to be honest i love history and the fact I get to work on history more and to research such a powerful memory of the time is amazing for me as you can never know too much.

I also started to begin to think of ideas for the prostrations we have to do in small groups, but if i told you them it wouldn’t be a suspire so i guess you will just have to wait and see.
