Monologue 2 reflection
Link of the monologue 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m_ghUSIMA4
This week, while I was trying to think of the ways to perform my monologue, I was more clear about what I want to do. I was able to think of the character's part in the movie and then add my own thoughts inside. Not like last week, writing my own monologue but not actually sure about the way to perform it.
I picked this part because I think I can find a strong connection to the character. Music is my biggest interest and passion in the world. I sing when I'm happy. I listen to music when I want to concentrate. I love music as much as Lyons does. And another similarity between us is that we both have a tough father. The kind of father that gives command all the time, make their kids afraid of them, refuse to hear no to their kids. I remember telling my father more than so many time that I really love music and I want to get better on it. But my father took it so lightly, saying" it's good to have an interest in your life. But remember whatever you do with it, you cannot take it too seriously. That music can't help you to earn money. It can't help you to survive in the world. You have to major in business and be successful. " Just like Troy-so definite, so harsh. Therefore, when I'm saying the lines, I always think of me and my father. The only difference is that I will never be able to say that to my father. I'm too afraid to him.
I still need to be more relaxed on stage. I have to get rid of the "Nan swaying". I do it subconsciously. Next time I'm on the stage, I will have to be more aware of my actions and tell myself to be focused on the acting and not to be stressed out.
During the week, I learned that there are so many ways to express emotions. I see scenes presented by different people. The same scene can be two extremes. Sadness can be shown by crying, yelling, even speaking slowly or very softly. Seeing this situation led me to think of more ways to act one monologue out instead of just stick on to the common way that most people would act.
A good monologue should be clear. Both the voice and the emotion of the character. Facial expression and body movements can really help the audience to understand the emotion that the character wants them to feel. Speaking loudly not only helps the audience to hear what is going on in the monologue but also somehow force them to pay attention to the lines. I can see how a voice that's too flat or soft loss audiences' attention quickly.
