5/09- Acting session
In this session, we spoke about Characterisation and how the characters would walk. For example, for me, as Elle Woods, she would walk with quite a lot of sass and a bounce in her step, completely oblivious to what anyone else would be doing and being overall happy. We also spoke about the backstory's of our characters and how that would make them act the way they do and why they treat others so we can really embody the characters. We all, as our characters in the show, had to walk as if we were on stage to centre stage how we think they would walk.I decided to walk with a bounce in my step and a hand on the hip with my chest quite high to show her confidence and obliviousness to any other character present around her. Even though it was only infront of a few people i was still quite nervous but i tried to push through that and go first working towards my SMART target of improving my confidence so i can put my all into the character and not care about anybody elses opinion whilst i was on stage.
We also looked at the different parts of the American accent and how they pronounce certain vowels and words so we can sound exactly like the characters that we are playing
This is the video we watched and as a group we paused the video after every vowel and practised it in a group. I found this very helpful because it helped me understand how i would be saying most of the words in the script and gave me the basics to be able to sound out the words i wasn't too sure of.
