Tucker. In some of the scenes you need to show with your body your emotions. You need to be firm, I.E. have a firm stance with feet planted and shoulders back ans head up. When you and Allison fight, you slouch during that scene in the beginning bit as soon as she really starts to tick you off sit up straight and make your presence know all with out having to say a word. Yourouth can be saying one thing and your body another and that weakens your character. Try and remember feet always On the floor and like when you talk to Mr. Hilton in the Hilton boys scene make sure Hayden is not blocking you.
ReplyDeleteEach person has to have a distinctive quality, their stance, manorisms. We all have to have something the judge will pick up on and identify with from the first scene
ReplyDeleteThe noises in the opening scene need to be louder. People noises in general need to be louder and vary more than just "ya" and "Na". I'll get more blank paper's or other kinds of papers like newspapers and throw (not literally) around Carson's office throughout the play.
ReplyDeleteThe music and lights have really improved! We are working hard we just need to keep improving! I think that we have already peaked and I do not want us to go downhill.
ReplyDeleteIt's important to have busy work!! Mrs. Couch has said that one of the reasons Seminole made it to state with Ghetto is becuase every person was doing something on stage. Let's make sandwhiches, paint signs, cower from the rain, clean, play cards, roll cigarettes, knit, and read a newspaper. Be distinct in what you do and have purpose.
ReplyDeleteBetween scenes we need to have people noises. Iv noticed we have finished our lines and go quite. We need To all be involved. Be in character when no speaking. Carry on a conversation with anther person. Keep up the good work guys!
ReplyDeleteWe have been working really hard and have improved each practice. We need to keep this up. People noises need to be more varied and we have to have alot of people noises
ReplyDeleteWe have got to work on the train scene and make sure our movements flow together better. Not so "robotic". I have got to work on hitting my lines right, to make them more effective.
