Vocal Awareness

Last lessons, we had to do an exercise with a partner about directing a monologue from the script of 'Gotcha' by Barrie Keefe, and they had to perform the monologue we chose for them to do. We had to annotate the monologue with instructions for our partner on how to perform it in terms of accent, tone, pace, volume, pitch, and also the words we wanted them to emphasize. I worked with James Pullen acting as Ton. He would speak in a subtle cockney accent; with a very sinnister yet sarcastic tone to it; the pace would start off quite fast but then it would slowly drop towards the end of the monologue to create more tension; the volume would be quite to start with and would then become much louder.
