28th-2nd of October level 3 performing arts

On Monday I had Rob for 4 hours during this lesson we covered a lot of techniques as usual. In this lesson firstly , Me and my class did some tongue twisters , body relaxing techniques etc to get us into shape for the lesson . These exercises are essential to help us get into the right mind to be rehearsing to our full capacity. Once again the whole class performed there pieces but not in the normal way we do so , this time it was a bit different. Rob shouted out different emotions at first for example ,we were doing our scenes then Rob would shout out emotions such as sad  and we would have to apply to this to our scene. This was Robs idea of making our acting lessons more fun and interesting rather then doing our scenes like we always do the same mixing it up a bit was really fun. After Rob gave us different genres to do our scenes from ,this was really fun Rob was giving us genres like western , James bond and detective etc. This was funnier then doing the same every lesson it made it much more engaging thanks to Rob.

Furthermore my last lesson was with  Sharon ,in this lesson me and my class mates  did our monologues this was  for us to get into the hang of auditions , that hopefully should be coming up in my future. Sharon's main improvement for me was not to give to much away about my self as the judges will have second thoughts on weather to work with me. This was helpful for me to help me feel the moment in the auditions to do the best I can and ready for real life auditions. 

On Tuesday was our day off this day wasn't good for me as I was ill. 

On Wednesday I did not attend college as I was ill. 

Thursday I was well enough to come in which was good. This day was relatively short. In the morning I had English at 9.15 , this lesson we covered more film reviews getting us ready for our controlled assessment coming up in a few weeks we have to write our own film review. After my English lesson I had Robs lesson in this lesson we did a lot of relaxing techniques because as you know acting is all about relaxing and letting everything be loose to act to perfection. All these exercises  are really helping me and my class mates to absolutely nail our performances coming up very soon. 

On Friday I had my English lesson as usual in the morning this lesson we actually started writing a draft film review and self assessed others peoples reviews in the class room. Then for the rest of the day I had Rob, in his lesson me and my class mates went over various amount of tongue twisters really trying to nail our articulations of words and saying them clearer which was really fun. Rob asked us to  make out own tongue twisters up and present it to the class which was very helpful. After this in our last lesson of the day we had solid rehearsals after and performed them to Rob ,who again gave us more notes to take into consideration to really help us nail our roles. Robs improvement for me was to keep my arms by my side at all times, my other improvement was to under play my role the best I can to build tension instead of shouting as my character is angry but also thinks he's right and sees clearer then other even though he is blind.
