What skills have I
developed since starting college?
Throughout the year I have developed variety of different
skills about acting.
As an actor there are two things in disposal, Body and
Voice. In acting I have learned that
these two are really important because Body, you need gestures to perform
better and explain your thoughts with body language. Voice is also important
because within voice you can change the tone of your voice and make it different.
In these case actors will be able to change into different actors and perform
it well. Some techniques we done with Rob was tongue twisters and consonants.
This would help me to with my articulation to say the words properly and not
mumble them.
In Rob and Sharon’s lesson, I have learned how to analyse
the script with class mates. This is really important because, if there’s a
Shakespearean play, we will not be able to understand it completely because
it’s written in a different format. If we analyse it with the teacher and class
mates, then it will be much easier to understand the character that we are
playing because we know what they are saying and how they would say it.
Also, during the lesson I have learned about observing
other people’s work. This is helpful because you can give out ideas to them as
you’re watching them act. Sometimes at the end of the rehearsal I would give
out some ideas of how the other person should act next time, because as I
observed them, I though some ideas would be helpful.
The
ability to transform/translate words/ideas into action. As such,
this is an important skill, the ability to understand the intention of the
character. Once we have perceived their intention, we must learn to translate
that into something that can be acted upon. Words, ideas, thoughts, and
feelings, none of these translate into action. We must convert them into an
achievable real-world task.
