Acting

I felt a lot more confident in the last acting workshop with Joy. I really began to feel comfortable in the character. I was understanding her emotions completely. I realized, after my monologue was over, that my lines were memorized. Every word just flew out of my mouth. That was why I felt more confident!

Watching the other monologues was awesome too. Each one had changed tremendously. I was captivated by the stories I had already heard. The tone of Kalli's voice during her Jasmine monologue grabbed my attention. As soon as she began the monologue I listened to every word she had to say. I was fascinated by the growth of Alex's monologue. Joy gave a great suggestion to try the monologue without a character voice and you took it. It works amazingly. You get so honest and the whole scenario becomes real. The whole time I was in awe of everybody's growth. Most people were breathing more, which is personally my favorite tip from Joy. And I love watching people on stage breath. It makes everything much more intense. Everyone was louder, clearer, and more sure of themselves. When I went up I was nervous that maybe I hadn't grown much since the last workshop. But then after the monologue was over, I felt it. I felt the growth in character developement and confidence. It was a great workshop! I can't wait for tomorrow!!!
