Since my freshman year I have been thinking when is the day I will be going to college, and now the day is almost in front of me. However, I got nervous and I don't want to go now. I feel like I am so not ready or I just want to stay here forever in this Acting class and our little black box theater. I finished another monologue which will also be my audition piece and fall play. I had a lot pressure before I do this final take, and I still feel like there are many things I can improve on, such as positions, pace, words focusing and body language.
From last class’ notes I changed my facial expressions and pace, and it had improved today’s production a lot, but it’s still not enough. The first thing I noticed is that I did not have a good positioning on stage. Because this will be in the fall play, I have to think how will I be able to position myself so I can make everyone feel almost the equal amount emotion from me. It will be one of the most important scene in the whole play, so where and how I present myself to the audience will be so effective. Another important thing I need to work on is my pace and words focusing, and I tried my best to fix it today, but I failed. I still had too many unnecessary stops and extra words emphases. For example, I stopped at like a girl then I said that’s all I remembered thinking which was so bad because it will be much more smoother. The last thing I want to fix is my body language which can be super helpful to the character. For intense, a college professor wouldn’t jump around; a high school student would’t move in a fancy way like Dr. Sacco and John Jiang wouldn’t leave VdP. That’s part of the thing I still need to put in as part of the character, so audience will have a better understanding of the character.
I hope by the “day” coming I will have this monologue 100% ready to go and make them all feel extremely sad! So far it was a great start of senior year, and I hope I can keep it up for the rest of the year!
