Auditions Notes

First Performance

Lewis - 

It isn't clear you understand fully what you're saying.

"She loves me/not" - Say each line differently

Watch your pronunciation e.g. THink, THeatre.

Lack of movement

You need to change your tone of voice throughout. Each line is a new thought.

Charlie -

Diction needs to improve

Who are you speaking to?

What is the context of the piece?

What are you saying?

I'm not convinced you fully understand the piece.

James

Clearly well prepared

Repetitive arm movements

Movements are unclear - move with purpose

Throwing away funny lines

Lorna

Clear understanding of the piece and the context

You need to work on eye contact with the audience

Vary your tone of voice throughout

You need to hook the audience from the first line.

Rob

Strong understanding of the context

Don't throw away the joke lines

Work on tone of voice

Movement of arms and feet awkward. You are moving like yourself, not the character.

You're playing it with anger rather than a sulky attitude

More childish movements

More boastful
