First draft
For my final draft based on my feedback, I need to work on talking slower. It's because the audience needs to hear and understand me clearly. When my group performed the first draft. We read off the script, so I mistakenly read off the paper like as if I was reading a book, which I should of extended my words loud and clearly like I was acting. I believe that when I act, I know my lines so I tend to push through mistakenly without taking my time to pause and pronounce my words. This is what I got from my feedback, and i when I related the video I actually started to notice it . Another thing that I noticed is when I start to speak fast it would sound like I was mumbling, I couldn't even make up most of the words I was saying and I'm the one who was saying it. If my partner also speaks slower, this would help with our time. Our performance was quick and dull, Right now it's at 4 minutes and needs to be at 10 minutes, we were mostly standing around and talking, so slowing that down will help with the time. Blocking is also a key with timing because instead of Tom and Amanda arguing back and forth, standing around. We can include a scene where Tom walks around the house trying to avoid Amanda. This also show more emotion on how annoyed Tom is with him mother. Or we can do scene in the beginning where Tom wakes up, gets off the bed and goes into the kitchen to work, have his mom makes coffee, than have her asked him to straighten his back and complaining how he never does that and it's so bad for him. Lastly out of nowhere he snaps at her and start the big argument causing the glass menagerie to break.
