Learning the words of the monologue was easy because I was familiar with the piece. Getting to terms with the emotions of the piece was altogether harder, especially from a vocal point. I had to show how the character was so tired and upset with how eveyone treats him but not make it too forced. In the actual scene, the character begins to cry as he comes out, but I felt it would be more appropriate to internalise this aspect and focus more on his anger. This boy has been constantly bullied and is sick of not standing up for himself. The play is called What's Wrong With Angry? so why not be angry!
I performed this piece confidently and though I needed to work on projection it was a good performance.
After practising the monologue more and more, my projection and ennunciation vastly improved. I feel that I have become confident in this monologue and I am able to perform it at request confidently and clearly.
