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 .

How i feel playing my character Percival

Percival 

Playing percival character was  hard but at the same time was easy because i had act like i was seven year old  and I had to pretend that I was crying which was hard , however the two things that was easy for me that had to act like I was confused about what's going on in the island and I had to ask a lot of questions to piggy ( Renique) and Ralph ( shantai) .

Technical rehearsal and dress rehearsal

Wednesday 10th

Technical Rehearsal and dress rehearsal

Today was our last day to rehearsal and improve our play. Before we did that group one had go one stage  play while Jackie sorting out the lighting , while group one was saying line Jackie had to stop them , so she know when to change the light  . when Jackie finished doing lighting , group and two had rehearsal and go through our lines , i was really nerves because it was our first performing in front friends and family  and plus it was part of our exam. Level 3 and our group came together for dress rehearsal and we had to perform in front of each other , i was really afraid that i was gonna forget my line but me and my group performed i forgot that people was there and i cant see anyone which gave me more confidence. i think that the Level 3 performance was really good , their play was  interesting.

My Character: Percival

Percival 

The character that im playing is percival. He is seven years old who confused which side he should be on .  percival is the youngest out of the group , his quiet person and his innocent and also naive but when he join Jack crew his loose his innocent by trying to kill Ralph . percival is type who question alot and he wants some one to protect him like Piggy and Ralph and he also cries alot because he thinks there a beast in the island but its just his imagination .

similarity between Me and Percival 

Two things that me and Percival in common , when we don't understand something  , we ask alot of questions and we both quiet but what's different between  me and Percival , im a loud person sometimes and i don't cry unless its a serious situation.

LORD OF THE FLIES

William Golding 

Reuben Johnson

Reuben Johnson is a professional actor and writer , who came to cast Lord of the flies but before Reuben came , we had to watch  Lord of the flies to understand what's  was going on and we had to discuss it as a group , how the movie had a effected on us and who we thought was  good or bad and also discuss who we thought was the leader .

 Our first lesson Reuben we had to play a game  called busy be which help  warm up , i really enjoy playing the game and the another game played  , which we had to say each other name and surname while we switch places with each other .when we finished playing games , Reuben told us that were we are Lord of the flies for 3 weeks and gonna perform it .Reuben gave us script and told us to get into to groups and choose the character that we want to be then read the script.

The  Second period each group had to act it out and we had to improvise what will happen if we was in the jungle and the beach .
