What i have learnt

i have learnt that picking a monologue is very important and need to works exactly with your casting. i think i liked doing glass eels better than twelfth night as i think Lily worked better with my casting meaning i could relate and work with it better. you also need to be interested in the monologue as you have to work on it a lot and if you don't like it you wont bring something new to it and push it to be its best rather than leave it in its simplest form. it also needs to have a emotional journey throughout the piece to show off the diversity of your acting style. research is a key element as it can unlock knowledge about the monologue that you might not have be able to get from just the monologue which may totally change the whole performance. it is also really important to know what has happened before in the play as this influences the outcome of the piece. for me personally it was really important to get feedback from other people as they can see it from an audience point of view and this means i can adjust my body language if it isn't right, my eye line, gestures, the way i say a line and any part of my performance because of the feedback.
