This lesson we went through the feedback we got last Friday. I added more energy to my character and also made my movements much more suitable for my character. I also try to make my vocals cle by makin my rojections better. Next lesson we'll carry on improving the scene.

Today we went through our scenes and showed our group so we could get some feedback from them. We used props which made it better because we didn't need to mim the glass. Some of the feedback my character got was mainly in between good and needing some work to do. For my vocal my articulation, pace and tone was good. My modulation and projection needs extra work to do. I personally believe that my vocal is good overall. I believe that I project my voice well for the audience to hear. For my physical my posture, gesture and characteristics was good. My movement was okay and my energy and tempo-rhythm needed some work on them. I personally agree with my energy and also my movement, I need to have more energy as a character and make my movement clear. In general my communication with other characters and my communication with audience is okay. Which I do not agree because I think that I am very good with communicating with my partner. My effective listening and response is good. For next lesson I will take this on board and use this feedback to make my acting better.

Today we rehearsed through our scene. We went over it a couple times and made sure that we made our characteristics clear. For us to make our characters clear we went through the script again and looked into our characters words and thought about what our characters feel like whilst saying the words. This made it easier for us to give our lines across but from our character's perspective.

For this lesson my partner and I went through our scene and we showed our teacher a run through of our scene, our teacher gave us some feedback. We got told that we need to be much clear with our actions, we need to make it clear with our character. For our next lesson we'll carry on rehearsing.

Our teacher has told us to show the scenes to the class and be filmed and getting feedback. My character was hot seated because my partner came in late. I got asked questions such as 'do you work' 'are you married' 'do you have kids' 'does your daughter know about you not being her mother' and I also believe that I answered in character using the right posture, voice, and speed of my language.

Today we got given some time to go over the parts we've been doing so we could show them to the group and get some feedback. We got a lot of positive feedback such as how we show our clear characters and our relation with both Marlene and Joyce was clear. When we watched the other performances I thought that a lot of my classmates showed a lot of realism and they made their characters look very real.

Today was very productive and effective. Our teacher told us to use more of the space to make the scene look more realistic instead of sitting on the table. He suggested that my character should be in the kitchen cooking. He also told me to be more angry and shocked by using my voice. 

Next lesson we'll apply these to the scene.

For today's lesson we showed our teacher a part of our scene. She said that we need to really highlight the important part of the script. We put more pauses to make the scene look more dramatic and realistic. We also looked at the Top Girl play online and looked at the scene. Both our character was exactly how we imagined them to be, they were marking the points very clearly and they were also very clear with their characters.

We started the scene. I believe that we got a lot done today. We started to use some props such as a glass of wine, glass and a chopping board. This is because the scene is set in Joyce's kitchen and Marlene is drinking alcohol. This made our actions much more realistic. Our teacher watched a part of the scene and she gave us some ideas how to improve it. She me to make my character a bit more angry as she is not happy that Marlene is back into their lives. She also told us to be more specific with our actions because they are arguing and we are also sisters so we need to be a bit more obvious. 

Next lesson we will carry on with the scene.
