Class A Week 7 Homework Submission
Cari Scholtens for Mrs. Mary Nilimore
Homework:
3 auditions per day
200 doggy pants per day: it has now been 6 weeks since we introduced this exercise to you all. For those of you who are getting use to 200 and can do them comfortably in 1 sitting, I recommend aiming for 400 at this point.
Monologue: Going forward, I will be listening to not just your vocal techniques but also bits about your acting as well. I encourage you all to be reading this week's monologue while moving your hands. If you are able to watch yourself in the mirror, pay attention to see if you are repeating the same hand gestures over and over again; or perhaps, you find yourself nodding to a particular rhythm; or maybe your hand movements aren't synchronized to your speech sometimes. This will teach you a lot about the way you act and show you some habits that you never knew you had in your acting.
Please give at least 1 feedback to a fellow class mate who has note received a feedback yet.
Have fun!
Very calming and soothing voice! I get a great motherly vibe.
Try to smile more when you speak, especially parts that may suggest a fond memory. I also did not sense that you were using your hands. Possibly a little hunched in your posture, especially toward the end of your sentences as well. Better projection would help you with the monotone feel that this gave. Consider what it is that you would like your listener to feel when they hear you. This will effect the way you deliver your words.
