What I Have Learned from Performing A Scene

During reproducing this scene, It has taught me a lot about editing and how to cut down seemingly unnecessary elements in order to make the scene move faster or in order to fit it into a certain timespan. Watching other people perform has given me ideas on how to portray my part or how not to portray it, it has also given me ideas for staging and stage directions. Watching other people perform their scenes can give you inspiration on how to act out your scene so sometimes its good to watch other people and not focus so much on what your scene is like because after the scene you might have an idea of how to stage or direct or act out your scene. It gets difficult for me when I try to have the right tone of voice or the right volume because trying to reenact a play in older english is sometimes difficult because you don't exactly always understand what the person is trying to say so sometimes I speak louder than I'm supposed to and that ruins the scene. It's normally really easy for me to adapt to my character and to own the part because if I understand the plot of the play and who the characters are and what they do in the play I can normally act them out and own the part really well . A good scene consists of good stage directions, accurate acting, good projection, gestures and owning the part, if you don't own the part, it will seem fake to the audience and in a lot of ways it will ruin the scene and it will make the actors around you look bad too. For improvement I can definitely work on projecting more and maybe speaking slower and more clearly and maybe at times owning the part a little bit better.
