The monologue project was very interesting. Memorizing the words for the monologue was harder than I thought it was but when the final came I was ready. When I was getting help from my peers it was helpful to improve the scene. This monologue itself challenged me to be more mature and express more emotion. I feel like I made the audience understand my anger and hurt from my biological mother and father. The frustration when my foster mom didn't understand what I meant. I could have made my voice a bit louder so the audience could hear me better. I wish I was better at blocking and maybe covering my face at some points wasn't the best idea. I could have made more eye contact with the audience to really get my point across.
I think my classmates were excellent. Michael did a great job on the momentum of his monologue. It was getting higher and higher till he snapped and the audience was expecting him to. I like the end, when he sat back down and thought about his future. I think it could have been better if he talked slower and some points and took a break now and then. John did and great job with the ending, when he got emotional I got emotional. His feelings in his face and voice made you feel something. I liked how in love he was with his wife in the beginning then you could feel the love drifting as he got closer to the end. I think he could have done better on pronouncing words. Linda was great when it came to diction. I could hear her clearing. I liked the end when she was completing all of a sudden so into the guy she was trying to push away. I think Linda would have done better if she made more facial expressions and not have her voice stay the same.
