The monologue I chose was broken biscuit. This monologue was about a teenage girl having a crush on a boy who visited her workplace daily. She worked in a shop and he used to buy some chocolate and she would always give him the same amount of change.

She started crushing on him very fast and that is the basics of my monologue.

My character had different characteristics such as she got shy when talking to her crush and she also spoke a lot with her friends. The boy she liked interacted with her nearly everyday because he would purchase the same items from the Sainsbury’s she was working at.

I need to improve how well I focus, this is because sometimes I get a bit distracted. This sometimes would lead to me laughing and being downgraded. If I improve this I could get higher grades.

Another thing is I also need to be able to more creative and unique, which means that I need to maybe use the audience to help with my performance. Examiners like unique people, this is because they offer different entertainment for the examiners.

My final target is I need to be more confident in myself and express more of my feelings out on the stage, this would intrigue the crowd and the examiners.

In these past few weeks, I have succeeded in achieving my long term goals. One of them is to not be distracted by the audience or other actors/actresses whilst performing.

Although my performance does not stand out, it was unique in a way that I was the only one who picked this performance.

One of my short term goals is to control the tone of my voice whenever I am performing and to make sure that I am not speaking too loud.

To include physical theatre in my performance to enhance the emotions.

This lesson I focused on learning and memorizing my lines for the monologue, I focused more on memorizing my lines, rather than using hand gestures, body language and others.

In my performance I have met my short term targets. this is to do with projecting my voice when I perform and controlling the tone of my voice whilst performing.

I have showed in my milestone performance that I can project and control my voice during a performance, this is also meaning that when I speak I am not too loud.

Although I may have not included physical theatre, I have still got a lot of body movements in my performance. This

# data[].attributes.body
what body language does your character have?

Holly walks confidently when she's with her friends. Although she does get a bit nervous when around Dean (her crush).

# data[].attributes.body
My target is to be more confident and to memories more lines.
I need to work on my vocals and learn how to project my voice across the room.

I also need to express my body language, as well as moving around the stage. One of my peers told me that I should also use some hand gestures, my peer told me that it would be effective

She started crushing on him very fast and that is the basics of my monologue.

In my milestone performance I knew all my lines and performed confidently.

I moved around the stage a lot and used body language effectively in the performance.

Marie's badge had not been changed so Holly was given her badge. Holly [my character] was also told my badge wouldn't change because Holly would leave .

Emotions change the performance massively, as when the performance has to do with personal problems, then people will perform better.

This lesson we focused on performing whilst clearly showing our emotions in the play.

# data[].attributes.body
In this lesson we were told to focus on memorizing our lines. Also we had to add in our own stage movements and hand gestures. I had added in my own change in tone to the monologue. This had a unique effect to the monologue due to the fact I made it up for only myself.

All targets and goals in this lesson were achieved and I added unique techniques. This is also working to another target , by making my performance unique and make sure I stand out.

This is making sure I achieve two goals in one.

Holly does not rush but she walks in a causal pace.

Today's lesson
In today's lesson I focused on memorizing lines and showing more confidence  in performances. I will also show more emotions in my performances

# data[].attributes.body
1. To stand out from other performances and to also be confident.

2. I also have to  ensure I remember my lines.

3. To make my facial expressions stand out.

In these past few weeks I have achieved my three targets, I have memorized my lines and I was confident whilst performing in my milestone performance.

Also my facial expressions were showed clearly whilst performing and my body language was seen as clear in my milestone performance.

Although I was the only one to pick the 'broken biscuit' monologue, I do find that I can still improve on my first target. I mean this because I don't feel like my performance stood out. If I had used more stage movements then I would of met my first target out of three.
