Within this lesson after highlighting all lines and stage directions, we read through the Script, which proved to be interesting as we noticed that we will have to figure out a way to establish when the play is alternating between realities. We also became aware of the fact that we all need to work on our diction and articulation. The next thing we did was fill in a auditory sheet to assess these things in order to track them and see if we can develop/ improve them. We spent the lesson analysing and recording our:
Breath Control- I feel that I have fairly good control over my breath, I can speak for a fairly long time with varied volume whilst still maintaining steady breathing, I rarely run short/out of breathe so don't feel that Breath Control is something that I really need to work on.
Projection-I feel that my projection is good the majority of the time, however when I speak quietly my projection becomes slightly less clear, which I intend to work on.
Diction/Articulation-I have no issue with speaking properly and pronouncing words as they should be however unless I am in a situation in which it is necessary I often cut corners within my speech and unfortunately it could be said that my 'Medway' accent can come through which I will work on purely through practice of speaking properly.
Effective use of pace and pauses- I feel that I have a fairly steady use of pace but say I were to be talking about something enthusiastically, so something I feel passionately about, or something that has frustrated me, my pace can speed up too much which I need to work on. However I believe that I use pauses effectively and know when it is appropriate to use them.
Quality of tone- (no bosting, however) I have been complemented on my tone a few times before and I think that this is because I adapt my tone to the person I'm talking to or the situation I am in.
