Developing our Greek myths

In today's lesson we concentrated on Roberts monologue as the main aim for this performance is  to make the audience feel sympathy for the six headed beast. The two main concepts which is needed to  gain sympathy is the pauses ( when the pauses will be effective and how long they should be) and the characters emotion which is portrayed during the performance. Annotating the script is an easy way to locate the correct emotions and to use pauses effectively, I  do this to most of my scripts as it helps with my use of voice and characterization skills,it also helps you pick what tone/pitch you want, the volume of the monologue or if you want to contrast the volume to create effect, the articulation and pronunciation of the monologue (for example if you were crying your words wont be clear and well pronounce, there would be stutters and some of the words will be un-audible), and the pace this can change depending on what emotion your character is experiencing right now. Telling Rob about this has significantly changed his simple character to character which has depth and emotion this will way he will attract more sympathy from the audience. Next week we aim to do a movement sequence or something similar to that, we want to do this as it is story telling so we need to link the two monologues in a simple way so the audience will understand the plot of the story.
