Classical Speech -

Due to the fact I have performed this speech at the national theater; doesn't mean i found it easy. The first time I performed this is was mean to be bold and out there,like it would of been back in 1599. I want the speech this time to be more under the cover; even though it was Shakespeare dose not mean it have be out there. Therefore I deiced to go with making it mooden, by not making it ......

when practicing this around the room it did go back to the old way, so i came up with if i was to apply some Shakespeare words to normal speech soon after i would fall out of overdoing the speech; this is something i would practices with my family and friends. I then went to just saying it to people and getting fed back. I think i struggled at first to get the emotion; as when first performed the way i linked the speech was to the character. After receiving some good feedback from a friend leading me to the correct direction I managed to link it to myself and who I would feel if I lost the person in my life that I love.

After I manged to reach the emotion, the action that i done during the speech came naturally, therefore I believe that I will mange to before I realistic performance that dose not make yoou feel like you are watching Shakespeare.




Contemporary Speech- 

This speech has been hard for me to learn, as it is something I have never done, emotion way and actions; i have done some excise that has help me through this speech with the emotion and how to relay it back to the Audience.

some of the excise i took on board were;...

seating on a chair and trying to pull up while still on it - This help me get the intense in my voice during it.

pushing the wall - This helped the core muscles to work giving me more power during so lines like "what sort of person does that make me".

whisper like a kid -  This has help me get the childish feel when the speech goes on about love.

I'm finally getting the emotions of the speech therefore the words are slowly falling into place; the only thing that still that I struggle with is the action when rehearsing. I think this may fall into place the more I practices and the character get more developed by linking to my life somehow. 

Punk Rock Rehearsal Period 2

So now after starting the run of the whole play, to bring more emotion to the play. We have started to look at targets that was introduced by Declan Donellan; this an idea that in each scene that your character saw any other character as an object. (i will go through each scene with Tanya is in and give each character an object) once given the object that how the character will see them and play towards them;...

SCENE 1  (Targets)

Lilly -  New Phone ( As you want to care for it; once missed placed you get annoyed then found it you are relived; this is how i feel after finding Lilly as been looking awhile)

Cissy - sour sweets (As she has the front up about her when around Bennet, and she is very statistic and comes across as bitter just like the sweets)

Nicholas -Butterfly (He is there but there is not any conversation between the two, he is also meant to be beautiful)

Bennett - Knife (Also sharp towards Tanya just like a knife so im also on card when comes to him)

William -  lost puppy (See him drooling all over Lilly, just like how a puppy wants a bone)

Chadwick - Favorite Teddy (straight to proctoring him and want to mother him from getting hurt)

SCENE 3 (Targets)

Cissy and Lilly } - Chick Flick  ( Both are on gossip and laughing like close friends, like in  a move)

Bennett - Bee (something that you have annoy till a centin pint to it sting backs an example of this happening is on page 43 and 44)

Chadwick - Google (always looking for the next thing and also shocking people as one step a head)

William - Ticking coco clock (see him that she is about to explode and go crazy - the money part shows this well page 47 and 48)


SCENE 4

Bennett - Bomb (That's he is always going off on one, exploding at people like bomb when hitting the countries)

Cissy - a cheater [the animal] (They always follow the leader ~ Bennett in this case~ but can move away from the crowed if need be which she dose after the kiss from chadwick ) 

William - firework -( slowly starting to sizzle away with anger, then goes off  at the end so it all builds up, when he goes for Bennett; Tanya notices this due to the small movements william shows through out the scene)

Nicholas -  Bird (even though there is small conversation between Tanya and Him, he is always watching a never stands out and in you're face, apart from when need to be, so when a bird goes for food)

Chadwick - ant (so quite and just go about there businesses, and always try to when someone gets in there way and i think ants are cool)

Lilly - colour yellow  (knowing as people favorite but sometimes can be put out there, which in this scene she puts her self out there to William to stop him)

Scene 6 

This scene is more of a difficult one as its the scene that most people die; therefore its hard to put targets on people then more i practices and watch the scene i think i will slowly see them.

- always found this scene a struggle as well due to the emotion state Tanya has to get in which is always hard to put yourself there, in some rehearsal i have manged to get past the braking point but in others i have; i believe once in front of a audince then tens will be there.



THE DOCTOR ROLL

This roll nothing like i have ever done before as its acting but without showing any emotion; as i have to listen to William speak; well watching him. I think inn away that i am over thinking the roll, i think to play the roll you need to under think and go with it; i will try this method in the next rehearsal.


(I will adding part 3 during show week)
