Tuesday 9th December
We had a speaking workshop where we learn tongue
twist which was
“All
I want is a proper cup of coffee, Made in a proper copper coffeepot. You can
believe it or not I want a cup of coffee. In a proper coffeepot. Tin coffeepots
or Iron coffeepots, they’re no use to me. If I can't have a Proper cup of
coffee. In a proper copper coffeepot, I'll
have a cup of tea!”
Which we had to think of a scene we could do
so my group choose a film set. This helps because we had to pronounce which
word so I feel I pronouns every word and made it clear what I was saying. I think
this help with the saying my words when we did a run the later that afternoon. I
really like doing the speaking workshop as it help me understand what way words
should be said. It also help we knowing what’s good for my throat and what is
not as we did this in group.
We did a run though in the afternoon. It went
well in some scenes but I got worried about when I need to be on. I ask for a
run though list so I could focus on my acting and lines. The feedback we got
from the first run though was that the toys were good but went we sung “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” we had to act like a girl band and really
dance and sing it because we just sang our lines with feeling but we just look
at each other when they sung it. The feedback I got was that I need to not apologise
when I'm delivering my lines. After hearing this I felt I did because I was
worried that I would get it wrong. I was too worried and I felt didn't let just
go for it and the kids not know what I get wrong and what I do get right so it doesn't matter if I change my lines every performances because I forgot what I said in the last performance.
The other comments we got was that in our
dance piece at the beginning we look bored. When we should look excited because
it’s Christmas morning. We also were told to learn our lines from the poem
which I have been but I find when I'm there trying to remember it goes out of
my head. I have keep going through it and now know it off by heart so hopefully
I will remember the poem on Monday when we had a dress rehearsal.
When we did other run though we make an improvement
to the first run though, as we used all the comments we were given. We work to
really show our excitement on our faces. I feel I did better as I just let the
scene roll and not worry about messing up and I didn't really mess up I just
got baby and Barbie the wrong way round which I think I'm trying to get the
next line ready in my head and I forget the other before it.
My strength from this lesson was that I know
all my lines but my weakness was that I didn't get them all in the right places
and was more worried about getting it wrong.
My target for next run though is that I worry
less and just try to get all my lines in the right place.
