Reflection: I think I projected my voice well because ti was audible, and could be heard. I can tell that I used my diaphragm because my voice sounds clearer than it usually is, and that is why I could tell this. I would really like to comment on my facial expressions, but it was hard for me to see my face because of the lighting and camera. I did see a bit of my face, and when I could see my face, they matched the characteristics of my character, and the scene. My voice had lots of variety because when there was a dramatic scene, like at the end, my voice sounded scared and faulty, whereas in the beginning, I was trying to scare people and my voice sounded like a tough girl. I am really proud of my whole group because we pulled everything that we wanted to pull off, and it all came out better than we expected. One thing I would change is how the voice could blend in together and it could sound more like a real conversation going on. My number before was 8. 5, and I think I am no...

TEN is a person who is dying to hit the stage on day one of drama and would willingly perform in front of all of 6th grade right NOW!  ONE is a person who would rather be ANYWHERE but the stage and would prefer to be wrapped up in a blanket back in their bed hugging their teddy bear. On this scale of one to ten, I would be a 8.5 because I wouldn't want to just right up on stage, but if I had 20 minutes to figure something out, I would be pretty happy to go up on stage. I like to dance a lot (I am a gymnast), and I like to go on stage to dance (I am doing MSDC). I am hoping to improve my acting skills, while having fun.

The neutral characters talk softly to give a perspective that they're far away and it's hard to hear them. The main characters are in the center. The neutral characters aren't focused, but aren't blurred out too much so that they look like a blob in the background. They are wearing pale colours like light grey, light blue, lavender, black, and white. They don't do things that are noticeable. They are just there to make the set look real. It's easier to focus on the neutral characters when the sound is off because When the sound is on, we are trained to watch people's mouths speak, and we think that the voice is coming out of their mouth, when it's really coming out of the speaker. It's easier to focus on them because when the sound is on, it's tempting to look at where the sound is coming from because you would know it's not coming out of the neutral characters mouth.
