A few days ago I performed an audition piece that was far from my comfort zone. I auditioned with a piece that included a monologue as well as singing. This piece was based on a child that hated her life and longed for a better one.Throughout the pace you see the child go from happy(because of the life that she lived now), sad(because she was remembering her past), angry(because she was not loved by her parents) and calm(because she realized that everything was going to be ok. The piece was a twist of the original version of the runaways. It had a great song suggested by Ms.Guarino, that fit in perfectly with the point of the piece.
WHAT WOULD I GRADE MYSELF
I believe that i would give myself around a B because it wasn't what i wanted the piece to be. I tried my best but i feel like it was too messy. It wasn't as great as i wished it would be. I think that i was too into the piece to actually deliver the different emotions. I was disappointed afterwords. The reason why I'm not as proud is because i know that i could have tapped into a deeper emotion. The only problem is that i let my fear of failing control me.
WHAT DO I NEED TO WORK ON
I need to work on facing the audience when i am acting. I tend to face the floor because i am scared to make eye contact with the people. The problem with that is, that you can't really connect with the audience if you spend most of the time looking at the floor and not them. The people want to feel like they are being talked to. They want to feel as if they belong in your world, and i believe that the only way to do that is through eye contact. Therefore, ill try to concur my fear of making eye contact with the crowd because if i do then my piece will be more powerful.
DID YOIU MEET YOUR GOALS
I wouldn't say that i didn't meet all of my goals because i met a few. I performed the piece, which was a huge accomplishment because i was trying to get aaa from actually doing the work. I went up in front of the class and actually poured my heart into that piece. That is a shock to me because i am usually a closed person. That day in class, I became an open book and i really enjoyed it. I enjoyed letting my tears out because the piece meant a lot more than a runaway girl. It was all the sorrow that i kept inside about everything. Releasing it felt great. This piece is a pert of my identity.
SORRY ITS A BIT SHORT
