In addition to speaking clearly with a good tone some of my other strengths were good movements, facial expressions and hand gesture for example when my character started to become agitated and angry in the scene I used movements by hand gesture and movement by walking around and using my hands to explain my points clearly, that made it easier for the audience to realise that my character was becoming annoyed and it made the scene more realistic. I also use facial expression to show the audience how my character felt in that point in time and to give them an idea of what was going through my head, I did this because action speaks louder than words and by my showing the audience how I felt through my facial expression and that would make our scene more engaging an enjoyable for the audience to watch.
I also had some weak points to my performance which I need to improve and over come as an actor but one of my biggest weakness was my articulation, sometimes I would mispronounce words and by I have a deep voice sometimes my words doesn't come out clearly, that is the main factor I need to work on to become a better actor and improve my performances.
Another one of my improvements was to remember some of my trigger words because my lines that I had would lead into my partner Tarkan's lines and if I forgot a line his lines won't make sense on its own and if I didn't say a line in a specific way his line would make sense.
For example I had to shout the line 'you'd infuriate a stone what kind of man are you' and Tarkan had to reply 'shout at me how you like', if I didn't shout that line his line won't have the full effect on the audience because they would be thinking that my character never shouted so why was Tarkan character talking about shouting therefore I had to make sure I know my cues.
My group performance and collaboration overall was very good because we all listened to each other and make sure everyone understood what they had to do and also we all listened to rob's and took the feedback he gave us and work on them to the best that we could. For example when me and Tarkan was looking at our scripts we were trying to figure how the characters were feeling in the time and how would they act based on their egos, experiences, position of authority etc, this helped us developed and connect to our character in great depth and put us in the frame of mind of our characters because we understood how they think and behave in certain situations.
Also our communication between each other and rob was very impressive because rob helped my develop our scene to its max potential for example he gave us ideas to play around with it and to try out with our scene like performing our scene in a cowboy theme or a French movie style, this was to explore our scene in more depth and to get a better understand of it.
one weakness of our play was that we struggle at first to understand the text because it was written in 406 bc and the language has changed a lot since then, which made it challenging to understand the meaning of some of words but we figured it out due time through researching and general knowledge.
Another weakness we had as a group and overcame was using the space more because there were only three people in our group ,if we all bunched up in one side the audience wouldn't be able to see all of us clearly, therefore we had to try and utilise the space we had to make our scene look more naturalistic.
The music students performance was very good these use many different styles and techniques to engage the audience. For example they used improvisation when they had to make up a dance on the stop around the actors performing on the stage which was really good because they had to think quickly and try and adapt their own dancing style to Their play and also be willing to make it look smooth and have a nice flow to it.
I also like their madaya pieces it was fun and enjoyable to watch ,the movement that they used was really good and you could always hear them everyone in the group projected their voice and had a clear and Loud speaking tone.
One improvements the music students could have is that with their acting pieces they could make it longer and add more lines so that everyone in the group gets to say some lines to make it fair. Only an hand of them spoke and not everyone got to stay a line which made the people that didn't have lines to stay just standing there waiting for everyone else to finish their lines. Instead of having them stand their maybe if they weren't any lines for them they should have them do something productive.
my favorite performance was the rhythm song because it was enjoyable to watch and I like the technique they used they captured the audience attention and made the piece fun and engaging. I liked when they were all singing and dancing and then the groups started to overlap each other, one group was singing the first part of the song and kept repeating it over while the second group did the same thing with a different part of the song and same with the third this was great to watch because they were in perfect sync while doing this part and even though we're overlapping each other which was the purpose it sounded very good. This was a great technique to use because during the whole song that was the part that stood out the most to the audience because of the style that it was done it and how well they portrayed it, the presentation was really good for example when in the three groups they separated to that everyone is the audience saw them. one group was upright on the stage of stage the next group was up left and the third group was right in the middle, this was good because it was eye catching for everyone in the audience where ever there were sitting.
