Me and my character (deirdra)

The difference between me and Deirdra is that I'm not violent person and i don't have attitude unless someone tries to be rude to me and also have different background and we are not the same age . The two things me and my character (Deirdra) have common is that  we stay out of trouble and we both been through alot  .

Jackie put us into partners or into groups of three and gave us a dialogues. She put me and Timothy in partners and told us that we doing a play called Flesh wound then she send to get the book from the library and starting and so we know what our character likes.
Then we had to go photo copy our scripted then start reading it to each other and analyse the words and highlighting the words that we don't know. 
Before started doing our play , we had to research our play by going on You tube and watching a clip of the play and write down what we think our characters . 

What I need to improve

For the past few weeks me and Timothy been trying to improve our scene and also reading over our lines. I kinder find this play hard because the way I have to shout at Timothy and get angry at him which is hard because I'm a type of who doesn't  really get angry. 
And the play is really different to the play i did before  and also  need to project my voice 

Improving our play

Wednesday 11th
Today lesson we have to perform in front of each other and gave back feed backs and also give advice on what they should do and what they should improve. Jackie was telling to show more emotions and make they the play bigger and also projected our voice . 
I think all us are improving , since we started we are getting more confidence and we are showing our emotions more . 
i think i need to show more emotions, when im doing the play and i need to be much louder and also  i need to connected with my character and think about what she wants

Deirdra

Deirdra 

The character i'm playing is type of person who religious and she doesn't want any trouble from anyone , however  but her older brother Vincent puts himself in a bad situation which makes Deirdra worry that someone gonna kill Vincent. 

Deirdra is a strong person and who doesn't like people disrespecting her. 

she live in  'shaddy' flat, she also a violent person who will  ready to pull a knife on any visitor but distancing herself from the gangland.

Deirdra has trust issue , she doesn't trust anyone expect for her older brother Vincent  and her Mum .               

Voice Class

Voice class

Every tuesday we been work on our voice ,the reason why we are working on our voice is to make our voice loud and clear , so when we perform the audience can hear us properly .

We mainly focusing our diaphragm which helps us breathe while we shouting or saying our lines. we had to do warm up which we had to breathe out 'sh', 's' and 'f' and we also had to 
Count to 5,10,15. Our another warmer up we had to do was Humming and we had to feel the vibration on lips +nose .
What need to improve is on my breathing when I do the warm up. What learnt about my voice is that it's start go get loud because of the warm up we doing.
When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand and its a sheet of muscle that is based on your lung and supports your breathe and your voice .
