Feedback for Everyone
I just want to say well done to everyone, you have
worked extremely hard throughout the unit. In the audition process everybody
was very determined when it came to rehearsing their monologues, everybody was
very motivated and it impressed me. What
I noticed is that when it came to watching back the videos for some, the second
takes of the monologue were better. I have to say in comparison of last year,
everybody’s diction has improved a lot and that is one thing to be proud of.
Victor
The thing I like about Victor is when he performs,
his voice, he has very clear diction, also he can emphasize his voice really well.
The tone of his voice can go high and low and it is very useful when it comes
to playing a character he has an advantage. I think Victor thinks about his
voice a lot, more than character because his vocals are good, his pace it’s
natural not too fast, not too slow it was just perfect. When Victor spoke his monologue
I noticed that he struggled to get into character, perhaps nervousness may have
gotten to him but his second take was better. He was relaxed, his character
improved.
Me
The monologue Joe wanted me to do was the Harry
Brown duologue he gave me. When I first performed it I didn’t like it, I felt
nervous and my pace was fast. I really liked my second take than the first one
because I was much calmer thanks to Joe’s feedback. Originally I wanted to do
it different from how Ben Drew (Plan B) played the Noel character. I wanted to
play the character angry, vexed but it didn’t look good. Joe told me to be disinterested
as to how Noel was in the Harry Brown movie.
Jordan
With Jordan’s first monologue I understood the
character he was trying to play, but the outcome of it was different. Jordan’s
first take I felt it the pace was slow, dragging. It was hard to understand
what he was saying because of the character he was trying to play. The character
he was trying to play was to be concussed, zoned out, and scared. His second
take was better I felt, the pace was neutral and he used facial expressions to
express himself. His second monologue I thought was great, it seemed very
natural, more lively.
Jack
With both monologues Jack’s focus was great, I liked
how he used his character to actually roll up a cigarette, I thought it was a
good decision to make, it worked for him. For his second monologue, I previously
did the monologue and it was interesting to see the difference between mine and
Jack’s. I took the approach of been a deep lover and Jack took the approach of
doing drugs. I thought that approach was unusual because I would never have
thought of it. It was creative that he had thought of it.
Charlotte
I liked her monologue
and I liked the way she performed it, it stood out for me, she was really
energetic. I think Charlotte struggled to show her emotions but each time she
did it, she got better. There was one time when I thought it was great she
improved it a lot that eventually it became natural. The emotion she was trying
to portray was anger and with anger you have to control your voice otherwise
you are just shouting. This one time she controlled her voice really well and I
thought she was really angry and not pretending. I say this because I have
never seen her like that before, it was a first and because her cheeks were
blushing red. Your cheeks naturally become red when you are angry and that’s
what happened.
