My monologue is about moving. Moving is the theme, whether it is focused on physically moving from place to place or up were in stages. I think what I have planned to say can be more about the emotional aspect about the experience. How I felt in the situation I was and am in. I need to work on my blocking and figure how I want to present my monologue. I know I have to stand and no sit since you said no. I need to move in rhythm with what I am saying and pause places to talk about some main points. I know that I want to walk into the scene and basically have a conversation with the audience. Even though I will be the only one talking. I think I can have more expression behind my words and more fluency. I still need to memorize my monologue and present that to you. I need to work on my procrastinating and not feeling awkward. That was a bit of a problem today.

My name is christeena, but you can call me chrissy. I have been on this planet for 15, 15 years. Not always in the same place. I haven’t always been here, in Connecticut. I use to live in New York. The Empire State as some would call it. At the age of 9, my mother decided to take me away from the only place I had grown to know. Shrub Oak, New York. Now as a 9 year old, I’ll admit that I was a bit overdramatic…...I cryed and cryed and cryed, than slept, but than cyed again. The world was coming to an end people. I had to leave my friends, my house and my school. You can imagine I didn’t talk to my mom for the longest time. Blinded by anger but when I got here it was like the darkness turned to light. I had better friends than before and an allowance PEOPLE ALLOWANCE. I was rolling in dough but thats not the poit.

Acting Class

This will be my second semester taking acting class. My experience in acting varies. I have been in plays and musicals since I was 3 years old. It s a huge passion of mine. One of my strengths is my presence. I think I am good at capturing the audience. I like making whatever scene or role I play interesting and intriguing for the viewers. Another one of my strengths is being able to memorise my lines. Once a person memorizes there lines, it is easier for them to play their roles. One of my weaknesses are my voice. My voice can be way too soft so people can barely hear me. I need to make sure my voice is loud enough for everyone to hear me. Another one of my weaknesses is not laughing during a scene. After getting to know everyone, it is easier not to take these seriously. It's hard to stay in character, and not laugh. This semester I would like to work on my characters. I need to focus on staying in character and not messing up scenes. Since I know everyone it is easy to break character now. I want to work on having more educated side in theater. On the take-home quiz we had before the first semester ended, I had to look up more than I would have liked to. I want to know more about the art of acting than how to do it i guess.

One goal I want to set for myself is having a well-rounded intellect about acting. I want to know what it's all about. It's easier for me to do it in the moment than to keep the information in my mind. Another goal is to play more different and diverse roles. I want to expand my experiences. I like to try more things out this semester. I like the projects we had and want more. My last goal is to be able to have a clear understanding of what I’m capable of by the end of the semester. I don’t plan on taking acting next year so I want to get as much as I can out of this semester. I look forward to working with everyone again and for the very first time Olivia Williamson. I know she will do great things and you are the perfect teacher for all of us to have. Thanks you for the future semester that is to come.
