Undecided

First impressions:

I utally adore a good murder - it's just up my street and I really like the script that we were given - although it would be great to decrease it in some parts as it can sound a bit wordy. I have always been fascinated in murderd even since I was young (ok that sounds odd), but I love the idea of planting ideas to distract the audience, using different methods and all that. Geraldine McEwan has been really my inspiration growing up doing drama - she's my one and only tv actor that portrays her character incredibly well. I wanted to say that when reading the script and trying to wrap my brain around who murdered who, that I believe the script is very vague in actually telling the audience how the victim died. When we read it today and I've just re-read it again, it's not very clear that someone has died? Or is this just me? Has the murder happened before the play starts? 

I believe the reason why I'm not skipping to conclusions is that I can't find any facts, for example (I don't know how the victim died but) the victim could have been poisoned? Drugged? Or something? Plus I have no idea who Ivor is/was? If I finally work out that then I'll have a better idea and understanding of the play as well as each of the characters.

Radio:

I'm not sure on this either, thinking something funny - (impressions? Innuendo Bingo?) or on the other hand I'm up for doing something much darker. I would like to work on how to show emotion through voice in depth to get a better understanding of what path I could take. Although what I have thought of, I have based it around what would I like to listen to and what emotion would I like to get out of listening to it - for me I would listen to someone funny that would make me laugh rather than someone talking about the weather or politics - although if you made that funny that would be cool too.

Or: just every day things that just get on your nerves or just makes your day, makes you giggle eg; people at the gym, old people waving their walking sticks to wave down a bus, trying to imitate someone's accent, listening into overheard convosations.....)

Or: impersonating a character - basically making strange noises

Or: accent challenge as I don't know about you guys but when I hear people trying to recreate an accent I just BURST out laughing, it's just to funny and then all of a sudden you (as the audience member) are trying also to recreate it in the best way you can.
