Erin Speed: Monologue prep! (Fall Play Auditions)

This week:

We worked on:
1. Physical Beats checklist
2. Bigger is better (comedic timing)


Physical Beats checklist
- First beat: (button) Draw the attention of the crowd (gasp)
- Walking down the isle
- Back of his head (distinct body shift and sharp head movement before)
- Jumped right out
- Curly Q's
- So Sexy
- THEN - outside/ hag
- BUTT!!!
- BANG!!
- cigarettes/ cancer - angry
- He's a nurse
- Emotional disease - "oh well"

Comedic timing:
Today we also worked on making sure that we are enhancing our character development as much as possible!

We talked about all of these physical beats - or different physical actions we chose to not only connect to our actions - but physically represent all of our character development choices. We then talked about ways to make each of them bigger - making our character a more interesting, funnier, bigger, and better character for us to play!


Here are our videos from today!


Before/End of our lesson:

Great job Erin!!! You are going to KILL!!!
