Rehearsal With Tyrell

Wednesday 13th June 2018

Today in Justins mentee session, instead of working one to one with Justin, I rehearsed with Tyrell from second year performing arts. First I ran through my monologue in front of him, so he could see how I perform it and what he could do to help me improve it. His first piece of advice for me was that  I needed to emphasis every word I say in order for it to have an impact on the audience and the person I am talking to. It also helps my performance better because as I read the lines and take my time I hear what I’m saying and I channel that to what it means to me and what it means to my character and how would I be positioned when I’m saying it and what gestures would I use. We decided to focus on one section of my monologue so I could practise and grasp the techniques I needed to use throughout the rest of the monologue. I needed to be more spiteful and try and hurt my mother which each word I used, so it didn’t mean me having to shout, I just had to deliver my lines in a way where you could see my pain and anger and you could see the mental damage I was trying to give to my mum because she wasn’t giving me a reaction.
