150 words on Voice for Streetcar

Voice plays a large role in the interpretation and characterization of a role. Thereby I decided that after choosing my monologue from Stanley I decided to play around with my voice almost as a trial and error situation, using different accents, adjusting my pitch, volume and clarity of each word to see what best fit my interpretation of Stanley's Character this consequently meant that I was able to come to a decision that used all aspects of my voice to its highest potential. After doing this exercise I was able to work more on other aspects to gain the perfect representation of my character meaning my performance was not only correct and true but was interesting and had a different approach than others interpretations. Once I had my voice I had realised that pace seemed to be an issue therefore I repeated my monologue each time changing the pace of the monologue as a whole and individual lines that used pace as a form of emphasis.  

150 words on Language for Eqqus

Language is used strongly to determine a character, and for the audience to base a stereotype on where they come from based of their language and accent and therefore judge what they would see they would stereotypically act like. Therefore in class we looked at the importance of language and how it can be used along with movement to determine a character for example we started to speak "Gibberish" the others didn't know what we meant but we did therefore Language is important in order for people to understand what we are trying to say etc. We then looked at different accents and language variations, Northern England (Yorkshire), proper English, slang English etc. This then helped us to understand characters more and their motivations, again it helped to base a stereotype on my character for example when speaking in proper English my character spoke with a very soothing, well pronounced voice to show his status and pride.

Interpretation is the rendering of a drama piece or character so as to bring out the meaning, or to indicate a persons particular conception of it.
Therefore to show contrast in ways to interpret and character or script we read scene 2 in Streetcar, I then took the character of Stella and performed 3 times, changing my interpretation of her character each time to start I was very fearful of Stanley and became small and used a high pitch voice, when I became angry at Stanley standing up and crowding Toby(Stanley)with a slightly deeper, stronger tone of voice I also opened up my body, We then both became very happy and calm, meaning that my character changed and the way that we both interacted with each other a fast and our tones of voice and movement showed this.
