Evaulation of Shakepeare Performance

My performance went well, I felt that I had stayed very in role and thought I'd put on a pleasant show. My aim was to make the show engaging and enjoyable to watch which I believe I did, this is due to the reactions from my peers and teachers. For this role, In my free time I worked on learning the emotions and thought processes of my character to understand them more. By doing this, it would help me portray my character better during the play. For example, in the scene where my character really wanted his money back, I had to make the audience believe that my character was going to do anything to get it back. The main thing that was successful during the play was the built up tension, because of this it kept the audience hooked which led to my performance flourishing. I believe I performed the show to the best of my ability and met the standards for which I set myself , which is  the highest level it can be. I thought the jesters I used to show my anger were good and really engaged the audience to pay extra attention to the tension constantly rising which was very key. The whole point of you acting is to make the audience intrigued by what's going on and make them constantly ask themselves in the head what's happening next. I thought the pitch of my voice really stood out to show the anger and hostility of my character. All the voice work we did in our rehearsals really helped me to get it right for my character. The hand jesters I did I thought showed the urgency of my character wanting his money back asap. I thought the chemistry between me and my partner Stephan worked very well some parts went from being serious to comedic the reaction from the audience proved it.

 Just one main improvement I need to work on is being less nervous. Recently I have been too anxious which is unlike me, I am usually nervous before a performance, however for this particular performance my nerves were on fire  they peaked to another level. I've done this a hundred times It shouldn't be any different. So I need to work on controlling it better, another improvement for me  is when I'm standing if its not for the character then to stand neutral and no standing in an awkward stance if it doesn't suit the character I'm playing.

Overall I thought the whole production went very successful ,I believe me and my class all performed to there full potential  which at this time in the year very high. I would like to praise everyone who performed I was very impressed by everyone's commitment  put into  the project Shakepeare in da house. All credits to Rob as usual of him directing us to his full potential to bring the best out of us for this production.
