Greetings!
Today we showed off our hard work from over Thanksgiving break by doing our memorized monologues! And with dialects too!! It was fancy. I've been reading a book called "Stage Dialects" by Jerry Blunt. It's cool because it's taught in IPA, and that's what we've been learning all along in class!!! Makes it so much easier to be honest.
I'm trying to work on two monologues. The first is my old one from acting 1, Beneatha from A Raisin in the Sun. I was memorized, thank goodness, but still Sally saw where there could be some improvements. She pointed out that sometimes, putting emphasis on different vowels or consonants can completely change the tone of a monologue or the sound of a character. I tried it a few times, and of course I heard what she meant.
I'll keep toying with it.
Okay!! Gotta Go.
