Wed7PMET Session 7
Sarah Larson for Voice Actor
Monologue Homework: please record the following 3 scripts in ONE MP3 FILE. Try a simple slate off the top: "Hi this is _____ _____, reading for Homework Class 7"
We are looking at showing range within each emotional sector. Emotions mix, change, and vary. Try and give yourself an imagined scene this can work in that allows you to be present and adaptive, as if it was real life happening right now.
Don't stop your body from making suggestions like life sounds, breath changes, non scripted words and sounds as it offers them. See what happens!
Anger Script
WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG? WATCH YOUR AIM YOU NIMBISUL! HAVE YOU GONE MAD! DAMMIT THEY MUST HAVE FOUND OUT THAT I ESCAPED... THAT WAS JUST TOO DAMN CLOSE. YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL! THAT PATHETIC SHELL OF A MAN KILLED HIMSELF, AND IF YOU LEFT ME FOR ONE MORE MINUTE IN THAT PLACE I WOULD HAVE GONE NEXT.
Fear Script
The flames are getting closer...spreading through the streets of the city. The only choice I have is to feed them, or die trying. The Armonds are moving in to stop me. They’ve got me surrounded... (pause) I need help, and the only ones who can assist me, might be worse than the disease itself.
Disgust Script
What the hell was that? I don’t get it
How can you even stand looking at it? So what you just fall into the garbage and carry it around with you like it was perfume? Well it’s not
And it’s not funny.
Seriously it’s nasty – do something about it!
I can’t handle this...
*Say something you think would fit*
Oh that's hard, thanks for submitting and letting us know. It's not so bad but yeah, more noticeable in these. Great slate! ANGER: Good focus here, just a little safe and repetitive feeling in pace and type of anger. See if it wants to vary more if you're thinking more of who your talking to and how they are reacting to you. FEAR: Nice expression here, also kinda one note tho. Strong note tho it is, let the pace and internal ebb and flow. The last line gets us a new flavour off the top but were back in familiar territory by the end again. It's good, just less dynamic than you IRL. DISGUST: Love the focus and breath and body affect you're allowing. Nice work here. Great ending.
