if we take his advice and do the accents I'm worried that we will go overboard with them. and sometimes it's hard to understand what you're saying if you use a heavy accent. I thought today's performance was a lot better than the performance on Saturday night. I love the slowed down music in the last scene! I noticed a few awkward pauses today such as the scene with Willie, Jack and Anne (maybe Willie could do something to drag on alittle bit so Kadyn can have enough time to change) and then another was right before the hospital speech. Also another problem I saw from the clinic and today's practice was noise backstage. the audience can hear it and it is very distracting. I love how Brodie looks around in the very beginning. and I also love how Jonah and Tucker are frozen in the beginning. Their characters are evident from the very beginning of the play which is what everyone should do! so proud of how much we have progressed!!
I agree with Kylie that we should not do dialects. I have seen several plays that have southern dialects and, quite frankly, I tune them out. I can never understand what the actors are trying to say, because we already have a bit of a southern dialect and the addition puts it too far overboard. I would hate for our audience or judges to not be able to distinguish the words are speaking.

Most of the girls are still walking the same. The only one I see is Maky is different. Eveyone needs to have a way that each character develops and grows throughout the show. Each practice is getting better. The climate, think of San Antonio during the summer. It is humid, hot, and nasty. Even the water is warm It's not cold at all.
I can't believe the difference the accents made for the show :0 we need alot of work to get them just right for competition but will turn out great!!! #excited
I like the accents, but we have to be consistent with them through out the entire play. If we can't do that then there needs to be no accents at all. Another thing I would like to point out is the accent is evolving into a different accent for some people. The judges will kill us if we have bad accents. Everyone need to do them a 110%.
I have started to really like the dialects that people are having for the most part. Our consistency with the dialects, however, is atrocious. I remember that Ashlynn would slip into a British accent during parts of her lines, Brodie would convert into a Jersey accent, and pretty much everyone else would revert back to our normal accent at some point. If we are going to keep doing accents than we must do them all the time from the most important monologues to the mumblings in the crowd scenes. I also noticed that with Mac's new dialect there were parts where he would do a quiet intensity, which I loved, but there were moments when I could barely distinguish his words so I know the audience had to have trouble hearing him. We also need to pronounce Stark like St"aw"k and leave off the "r" in Governor. These where the two words I noticed the most inconsistency with. I think the dialects really added to our show, but they have to be perfect or the judges will murder us. They will help, but we have a lot of work to do.

ReplyDeleteI feel like we could give the impression of a place with out actually exaggerating an accent... like with the way we interact like touch stuff!

ReplyDeleteWe need to find a way to make walking quiet,
ReplyDeleteand I'm willing to try the southern dialect if it doesn't work we can always change it.
