Week five

     The script analysis helped me to visualize how to act and how I am feeling during the scene. I actually know where the conflict is when I started to read a scene. After I read my first scene I picked up the conflict right away and even found a part where I need to be more aggressive and use facial expressions more. When I and my partner started to rehearse, I and he started picking up more and more parts where we have to switch are emotions around. We both thought the same thing about each part, on how we have to switch up are attitudes around.

     Now in my rehearsals I am reading it more thoroughly and out loud over and over again to figure out where the conflict is. Sometimes I don't really find it and ask other actors for help. We end up finding it together most of the time. When I and my partner started to rehearse our scene, it took us at least the fourth time to finally pick up one conflict. After we picked up one conflict we started to pick up emotions on the scene. The emotions are the hard part for me because we really have to be feeling a certain type of way there. We started to act out more scenes better after we found are characters feelings. It’s actually more helpful and fun. Now we even work on are facial expression in are phones. Or even in the mirrors of a bathroom.

   Once we worked on our facial expression we move on to our tone of voice of the character. This is the part where I actually get stuck on, because I have no idea on how they talk. So I picture it in my head and read the sentence on how I think it might be. After reading it I started to pick up on how they are talking when certain parts of the script had examination marks. I noticed the aggressiveness in 1 part of the script. That’s when I noticed I had to raise my voice more and start to get angry with a slight attitude with my character.

     I noticed because of the script analysis actually helped me understand the character more. Before I would have just read it through without even figuring out where the conflict was. Now not only did I find conflicts, but I found the emotions as well. This helped me understand why actors on TV do their facial expression a certain way. When I use to see actors on TV I thought the director tells them to make a face a certain way I never knew that it had to do with reading the script. Now I know that reading the script is part of you coming up with the emotion and putting on a certain face to get it. Not only reading the script helps you become a better actor, but helps you vison your scene on how you are going to perform.
