Drama

Kia Ora,

Today I am going to share about what we have been doing during drama. In drama, we have to choose a monologues. Monologues is basically a script that we want to act. We went into a site where there is a lot of script that we can choose. 

Monologues:

 I don't want to get all Hallmark cards on you, but you're my best friend. We've been through so much together. You know me better than I have ever let anyone know me. You're the first person I've ever met who understands me, who thinks the way I do, who gets me. Am I crazy? Am I wrong? Because... you're important to me. If you just aren't attracted to me... I could understand that. I know you can't choose who you want, you can't control those feelings. The heart wants what the heart wants. If we could choose... then I could stop wanting you.

I chooses a script and we have to act it but we also have to put the movements that our characters will be doing while acting the words. 

Sad voice {Voice}

Looking down {Movements}

Slowly facing him {Movements}

Sad voice {Voice}

Stops on some words {Voice}

Eyebrows down {Movements}

Sad voices{Movements}

Started being serious {Movements}

Smile weakly {Movements}

Then put a little bit of information about our characters. Also the role that we are doing, specially the characters emotions. 

Role: I am Mira

Age,Gender,Appearance: I am 16 years old, I am a girl. I have long dark brown wavy hair. I have blue

eyes.

Family,friends,job: I have 2 jobs, I live with my sister. I don’t have that much friends. I am also caring and

loving

Emotions,thoughts: I’m usually always emotional over little things, I’m kinda sad. 


We practice reading our monologues. The next thing we have to do is to act it out while taking a video. But I just recorded myself.

Some techniques that I do: 

  • Every time you say a word from the script, make sure to feel the emotions
  • The important thing whenever you act is the facial expressions. If you will just be reading the script with no emotions, that wouldn't look good at all. You need to have facial expressions in order to act.
  • Second thing you need to have is movements. You need movements so people can see or know what you are doing. 
Thank you for reading. I hope you learn something new. That's all for today, have a great day, bai :)
