Lesson Analysis 6th January

Today we began our auditions for casting of 'The Wonderful World of Dissocia', our new contemporary play. Prior to the audition, we were given a selection of small samples taken from the play. I chose Lisa's speech as it was interesting to interpret how the character would say the lines as she is responding to herself(no one else present with her). When auditioning, we were told to repeat certain lines but in a different mood/emotion. For example, I was asked to repeat them in a really happy mood, as if I was a cabin crew member with a very positive attitude.

I had rehearsed my lines thoroughly beforehand in preparation for my audition, but I soon started to jumble my words as I got nervous under the pressure. I'm usually fine with memorising and speaking my lines, but I think this was more of a challenge as you  had to really understand what the lines meant. This was difficult as the character Lisa goes from directly speaking to someone to getting lost in her own mind/thoughts. This audition although didn't go as well as I hoped, gave me more experience in how to prepare yourself for possible auditions in the future.
