Class A Week 7 Homework Submission
person0129 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!
I really enjoyed your diction! You read in a very clear and clean style. I particularly enjoyed the second to last "Mrs. Mary Nilimore" as there was a feeling of respect and admiration for her in the read. One comment I had was the pacing seemed a little slow. The spaces in between sentences felt choppy and messed with the flow of the read. Even still, great job!
thanks man, this is very valuable feedback. i appreciate it
Your pacing is a little fast and you seemed to try to make up for this by pausing for a longer time. It makes you sound rushed when you are speaking with an awkward pause in between. Kind of like a a person driving shift for the first time and their car keeps jolting forward and stopping. Try to slow down when speaking rather than using pauses to space out your words.
thanks john! i'll remember this for the next assignment
