Class Session 1
Sam Power for Role
Full details of homework is on Closing Credits
I grinned my way through listening to this, thank you, I really enjoyed it. Nicely done!!
Thanks so much! I had fun with this!
Ah absolutely lovely Sam! I love the voice, love the character, love the power! Great fun in the read here and like Erin mentions, you can hear that you are having fun in the read! Absolutely great stuff.
I love that you took your time with the script, for most of the read you have a great hold over your pacing and allowed yourself the time and space to get your read out. There are still moments where it almost feels like you were running out of breath and pushed a little faster to make it to the end of a phrase before your breath ran out. Be mindful of those times as some of your clarity and pronunciation was lost when chasing the end of a phrase like that.
Projection was good! Could hear your big supported lines and breathes to support those lines. I'd say you were at an easy 6 and pushed close to a 7 at some sections in the script. I love to see it, I wanna see you hit that 7 and really command a presence to your audience! All that's missing it a bit more lung capacity and a bit more air backing up your lines. Easily within your reach, and easily something I can see you hitting comfortably before the end of classes together here. Through the script you had great energy through the start of a paragraph but gradually shed energy over the course of the paragraph. Just be mindful that we would usually want to energize through a paragraph.
Also of note, mind taking a pause before and after a breath to make sure the breath doesn't run into any words of the script. A breath that's run into a word is much harder to clean out in post.
Fun read Sam, I adore it. Looking forward to hearing more from ya through the weeks!
