In Robs lesson last week on Thursday we watched a show called The Voice to help us understand how important our voices are in the acting world. The show had things that I didn't know about how our voices work its quite fascinating actually and how the pitches of our voices change. This helped me to understand to purpose of how important our voices are and the science behind it.
What I found the most helpful in the show was when the guy was measuring the pitches of others voices this was interesting to me to see how our voices all differ. For example when we inhale our diaphragms tightens and goes downwards this increases the chest cavity into which your lungs expand the muscles between your ribs help enlarge your chest cavity this goes back to the purpose of things. Another interesting thing is how our pitches change when we talk to other people and when angry or excited at different things.
This week on Monday Our director Rob made our lesson different instead of the usual just rehearsing the scenes, we did improvisation activities in role which really challenged us to see how well we knew our characters. Rob thought to do this because the lessons get a bit repetitive , so he changed it up a bit. One of the exercises we did was coming home in our character and do the purpose of our characters to ourselves for example my scene is about trying to get my money back of my brother who I don't know is my brother.
This really tested me about how well I know my character this was much more helpful to me instead of doing repetitive rehearsals every lesson. Furthermore we did another activity where we sat in the middle of the class and the class would ask you one of three questions favourite food , holiday destination and hobby. You would improve the whole thing in character which tests you if your done your research for your script. All of the improvisation activities have helped me to develop more skills and how to play my character to perfection.
