The moment when you see other people performing and start to second guess yourself...
I was put in a group with Margaret and Lola while rehearsing our monologues and these are the things we said for Lola's performance:
She should imagine talking to someone.
She should slow her pace down at times
Lola should really understand her objective and play towards that objective in a realistic manner
She should understand her script and certain words like 'perambulating' in her monologue
Her voice needed to be like butter, really smooth and soothing
She needed to have costume and props that reflected her wealth
She needed to have a clear journey in the piece
She needed to determine how much space to use
She did have a good understanding of her given circumstances
And here is what we thought of Margaret's performance - She is doing a monologue from Suddenly Last Summer:
Margaret needed to work on her accent and accentuate her 'r' sounds
During her first line, when she says 'where was I?', we all agreed that she should not smile
Her use of space was good
She needed to change the tone of her voice sometimes because she was too emotional throughout the whole performance which makes the audience tune off
She needed to justify her movements around the stage
