Look at me now By: Anis Nazri 6E

What dramatic skill would you say is the best part in your performance? Why? I think the best dramatic skill that I have used so far in drama is… voice projection. Voice Projection is my best dramatic skill because while rehearsing for our play ‘Rama and Sita’ And as my role plays as the queen of Vultures (Jatayus) I have learned how to express my voice in different ways, by sounding distressed, in a serious way etc. But the only thing to do is just to speak slower, or else the audience will have no idea what I’m saying probably.

What dramatic skill have you worked on improving this term in drama? And why? For now in Drama, the dramatic skill that I really want to improve on is body movement. Even for myself I have to admit that sometimes on stage I don’t provide really enough that much body movement while acting. And I think that body movement is something that I really need to improve on body movement, because that dramatic skill maybe one of the important ones that I have to succeed for the play.

What specific things have you done to make improvements? Well I have been trying different, simple movements in class e.g. gestures. Only maybe when I and the class are really performing for other classes, I might get scared and have the wrong thought e.g. “I’ll get embarrassed!” “I’m so scared!” etc. So it probably about ¾ weeks from the real play I am still trying out movements that I can use to perform on stage.

What dramatic skill do you find the most difficult and why? I think, well to me, the most dramatic skill that is very difficult for me is to achieve is, body movement. Well as my character I guess I can only provided was my voice, but it wont seem the same if I don’t have any movement to go with it. So what I’m trying to say is I have to achieve the difficult dramatic skill which is to me. Body movement.

How has working to improve your dramatic skills helped you to portray your character? When improving on my dramatic skills, they help me portray character by performing more better. The dramatic skills help by teaching the right way on how to act and express feelings more better by performing perfectly. So the dramatic skills help me better to act and perform perfectly.
