Hair and Make-up

After being in hair and makeup for the afternoon, it really got me thinking of how I could distinguish between the character of the King and Queen. I am working on a gestus and movement that could signal that I am either the king or the Queen so that it is clear not just from the make-up and hair that I am two people.

I found online the following clips from "Stones in his Pockets". This play is performed by just two characters playing a multitude of various characters (15 between them) of both genders.
I really like the way you can see the transformation from one character to another clearly in their physicality and voice.


They make it looks so effortless when they switch characters yet each one is very distinct from the next and I want that distinction to be clear in my characterisation and voice as well. I am going to work on different voices and walks for each one and see if I can come up with different physical tells for each character.
