What progress have you made in your final week of rehearsal? In what areas have you made the most improvement? In what areas do you think you still need to make growth before your performance on Monday?
Now that I am at the final week of rehearsals I am feeling really good about where the monologue is at; considering the better use of props and stronger memorization. I am feeling very strong and feel great improvement on my use of make up while performing, along with understanding the material in the script. However of course there are still areas I could use a lot of work, mostly on the presentation of the script - I feel it could be stronger or even clear to what my character feels.
In regards to my improvements I really like where I am now. I was thinking too much when I was acting with the props but now I feel I am really using the props as I would if I were actually using them. I am taking my time and really just enjoying the moment of being annoyed while touching up my make up. Also being clear about what certain lines mean was very helpful thanks to Angie. It is quite embarrassing not knowing what "Can I get a hit off that number?" actually stood for; yet now that I do know it completely changed how I said the line and how it was presented.
Although I am very happy and proud of the improvements what really needs to be looked at is the way I present the script as Nealla. I am nervous that although I know what my character is feeling and why she is doing what she is doing/ saying what she is saying I am not sure I am giving off the vibe I get from my character. That scares me; because that is my job, it is to express to my audience the characters nature and mood, but if I can't even get the state of my character out of myself how will the audience feel it?
It is probably a good thing you didn't know :)
