Compared to my expectations, I did pretty well. I expected my partner and I to freeze up or forget parts of our performance. We actually got through each performance without stopping and I did not feel like we did terrible in comparison to all of the other teams in the room.
A shortcoming we experienced was our time. When rehearsing at school, our piece was about nine and half minutes on the dot, so it was perfect. At competition, the first judge told us our time was eight minutes. I think the problem was that we skipped a couple of lines somewhere in the script.
In the future, I will push my partner to memorize their lines on time. If both of us are confident, the performances will run more smoothly and we will not skip lines.
I did about how I thought we would do at competition. I did not expect us to break because I know better than to walk into competition expecting to break. The competition was fierce and we just didn't match up.
We experienced messing up on some lines. It wasn't noticeable but it happened and we knew it. We were over time every single time despite us cutting the piece.
In the future I will , first off, not do duo. I will also make it a point to pick a piece in advance so I am not rushing. I will make sure to see what other people have done so I can mirror some things and really get to know what sticks with the judges.
Compared to my expectations, I think we did pretty good. Could've been better but was still good. We memorized, we didn't stop and fold. Yes, we mixed words but still managed to get by.
A shortcoming was our time. When we first put the script together, it was 17 minutes. We knew it wasn't going to be less than 10 minutes by comp day. And it wasn't. We finished passed 10.
In the future, I hope to keep this piece and work harder and better.
Based off of my expectations, I think that I did okay. I could have been better and made sure that I made some voices for each of the characters that I portrayed. I was expecting to be about 14 out of 21 teams, but Indie and I were 10 out of 21 teams at eh competition.
A shortcoming that we experienced was our timing. While we were rehearsing there were parts that I was saying in the script that I was just reading it and not even add is spots where Indie's character could answer. While we were rehearsing our script we are close to ten minutes but when we performed at the competition in Saturday we were eight minutes.
In the future that I will do next time is make sure that I memorize the piece faster so that if I have multiple characters I can start coming up with voices for each of the characters.
I think based off my expectations that I did alright. I think that I could of done much better if I wasn't so overwhelmed about my first competition. I was expecting us to get a lower score than we did and I'm glad we did better than I had expected us to be.
A shortcoming that me and Julianna had experienced was that you could tell that we were reading from the script, and it didn't have much characterization to keep the audience entertained. For an example I would look away like I'm disappointed in Shelby for long periods of time, and I wouldn't do anything more to keep it interesting.
In the future I will have my characterization down, and make sure that I understand my character. How the character feels, what the character would do, how the character would say the lines, so that I will be more prepared next time.
Compared to my expectation I did alright but it could've been much better. I wasn't nervous but I was overwhelmed by the talent that we saw and how much potential we could've had and what we saw.
A shortcoming we had was being a little stiff and avoiding contact with her. I felt that our scene had a lot of potential. We didn't perform to the best of our ability. We know the scene is good we just didn't make it the best we could.
To overcome these I will work more on my craft of acting and characterizing and be more invested in my part and work off my partner and help her connect with her and make our chemistry better. I will also memorize so that we could be coached and we could use good feedback and have a good piece.
Remember to also improvise if needed. If you or your partner forgets a line, you can't whisper it to each other across the stage or wait for them to remember.
Compared to my expectations, I feel I could've done much better. I had put myself on a high pedestal, feeling like I'd do pretty well. But, I didn't put enough effort into the piece before hand.
Some short comings I experienced was how my body was shaking all of the first round and it showed in my voice and also that my partner and I both spoke way too fast. You could tell we were scared and just trying to say the lines to get it over with. We weren't reading from the script, but at times, it sounded as if we were.
Next time, and every time after, I will constantly check my pace of how quick I'm speaking and give my partner a small, unnoticeable signal if they need to slow down a little too. I will also work on seeming more calm so that if I'm worried on the inside, it doesn't show on the outside.
I didn't care if i came to win or not. i came to improve and judging by my ballets i did that. I know that my projection has been a reoccurring issue and i try and work on that by yelling at walls. I feel i didn't break because i was nervous and doubting myself. i knew my lines i just set myself up for failure thinking i would fail. i did worse than i thought i would but i'm happy even made it on the bus. it made me happy seeing my improvement each round.
I went back to see why i wasn't picked for the finals and found that projection helps you connect with the audience. Because i was quiet, nervous which made me seem shy so didn't stand out that much. I also found on one of the ballets that i have a very noticeable nervous tick. i know that i can get better and fix my problems. i want to win through hard work.
When i was one the bus i noticed the girl got exited when she heard her better rivals wouldn't be in the next competition. It worried me why she got so exited. this girl didn't want to learn and continually get better she just wanted worse competitors so she could have an easy win with no effort put into it. this girl did have talent that could be shaped into something great but she wanted to settle for less. i wanted to slap some sense into her. i want competitors that are ten times better than me so i will be pushed to be better. If i was the best i wouldn't feel the need to improve and over time get worse. i don't want to stay in the same place so i am happy to be dead last if it means i'm constantly improving. can't wait for the next competition!
