Since being in your class I have been learning better and new ways to
become a great actress. One of the first things I have learned is all of the physical
preparation I can do to better understand and fill the shoes of my character. Visual
and physical movement seems to be big help to my interpretation of the piece of
work that I am working on. After matching every word to a giant gesture I found it
way easier to visualize the meaning of the word coming out of my mouth. I was a
little hesitant at first because I was worried of what I would look like or if I was
going to do it wrong but then I realized that in order to be an actress, I have to not
be scared of looking weird at time and in order to learn I have to get it wrong the
first few times.
I also took from our games like the one where you were conducting us
because that really helped me put a lot more focus and concentration into my scene
and realize when Im suppose to speak and then when I do speak I have to be loud
and do my best not to stumble. Another big help I got from one our game was when
we had to stand in a circle and say “yes” if someone wanting to come to us and I
think that really helped me because to really have to hear the voice and look
instantly to the person to you know who is next. The scene where everyone is saying
their vote, I found myself listening to the voice and finding the head faster then I did
before. I am slowing learning to apply every single activity to my work and continue
working on it unitl I hit or am close to hitting the mastery of it.
