Reflection Case

Since being in your class I have been learning better and new ways to

become a great actress. One of the first things I have learned is all of the physical

preparation I can do to better understand and fill the shoes of my character. Visual

and physical movement seems to be big help to my interpretation of the piece of

work that I am working on. After matching every word to a giant gesture I found it

way easier to visualize the meaning of the word coming out of my mouth. I was a

little hesitant at first because I was worried of what I would look like or if I was

going to do it wrong but then I realized that in order to be an actress, I have to not

be scared of looking weird at time and in order to learn I have to get it wrong the

first few times.

I also took from our games like the one where you were conducting us

because that really helped me put a lot more focus and concentration into my scene

and realize when I'm suppose to speak and then when I do speak I have to be loud

and do my best not to stumble. Another big help I got from one our game was when

we had to stand in a circle and say "yes" if someone wanting to come to us and I

think that really helped me because to really have to hear the voice and look

instantly to the person to you know who is next. The scene where everyone is saying

their vote, I found myself listening to the voice and finding the head faster then I did

before. I am slowing learning to apply every single activity to my work and continue

working on it unitl I hit or am close to hitting the mastery of it.
