Gr 6 Final Scripted Performance

This week was my last week of drama. I performed in two short plays for my final grade. One was titled, 'The Grave' and another was titled, 'Remote Chance'. Here is a reflection on my trimester in drama:
I think projection was one of the things I did best. I could hear what I was saying pretty easily. I think I was using my diaphragm because I didn't feel like I was straining my throat, and my voice was audible. While I was performing, I did feel that I had vocal variety, in 'The Grave' especially. But when I watched the video, I realized I could've been a little more dramatic with my voice. I think my voice wasn't very varied in 'Remote Chance'. I couldn't see my facial expressions in the videos, but I think I did have facial expressions that suited the situation my characters were playing. I am really proud of 'The Grave' group because I think I did my very best in that group, and I really liked how the story did turn out scary. I was also proud of my 'Remote Chance' group because that play was really funny, because of everyone's contribution to that play. Overall, I think I could've put more effort into 'Remote Chance' because my voice sounded pretty flat and didn't have enough expression to show what my character wanted to say.

At the beginning of drama, I gave myself an 8.5/10 to show how eager I was to perform and do this class. Now, I am probably around a 9/10 because I have learned to be a little more brave while I perform and I also know how to use a lot more vocal variety. Before taking this class, my voice was pretty flat when I presented. Now, I know how to change my voice. To sum it all up, I am glad I took drama this year.
