7th Period Notes

These notes are for 7th Period's second runthroughs.

Tap Dancing
Alejandra/Evelin

• Start getting those lines down. You both have to get out of the book and start trying to achieve your goals!
• Blocking? We can't tell what's going on, where you are, or anything...
• Too long.
• Good vocal projection.

Crimes of the Heart
Narmaine/Priscilla/Shawneshia

• Nice, Narmaine. I saw your concern for Grandaddy.
• Priscilla - let me see a little about how you're feeling towards Meg with the way that you're sitting.
• Bring an actual photo album so that you have some pictures to look at.
• Slow down a bit and speak up a little.
• "Banana splits for breakfast." Is that funny? You guys should be having fun!!!
• Make me believe that these people care about each other.

Boys & Girls
Robert/Angela

• Where are they? How can you show this to us?
• They're standing pretty far apart for 2 people with that sort of relationship...
• Make it more important, Angela. You're working up to a huge question.
• Too long. The second half is much better (your goals are clearer, relationship is better, etc.) - maybe start from the "We want you to live with us" moment.
• Great second half!

Life Underwater
Kevin/Delvisha

• Volume! Can't hear you guys.
• Go after him D.
• Good job on lines. Keep it up.
• Nice movement - Good moment on " I don't want to talk to him" Robert.

Unknown
Elissa/Katina

• Good clear voices.
• Blocking? Have you done any rehearsing with this? It looked like this was your first time reading it.
• Go after your goals.

Crimes of the Heart
Steph/Elise/Nick

• Nick, you're an excellent cold reader! Good work.
• This scene is really coming along! Time to step it up: get some cards, borrow our phone ringer, etc.
  
• Go after her, Steph! Get in her face. You've got to end in tears, right? I know you're sharing the script today though...
• This will be excellent, just turn up the stakes = make everything life or death.

An Acting Experience
Lena/Josh

• Great moment before. Excellent characters.
  
• Josh, don't go back to the paper until/unless you know that it's safe.
• Lena you can be a touch louder if you want.
• Good work you guys. A little low energy today, but that's fine.
• Josh - make the peak higher: right before "I don't even know why I'm talking about this."

Last HS Party Ever
Shawneshia/Vanessa/Chelsea

• Good character work. They have a great relationship.
• Make sure that you're trying to DO something to the person you are talking to.
• Get those lines down.
• Practice! Practice! Practice!
