Rehearsal 5 - Speaking With Meaning and Passion

The most important method learned today was to speak with meaning and passion within your voice. We learned that if you have no meaning and passion within your voice then you might as well not be on the stage because you wouldn't be portraying your character. We learned that it is important to not fade away the end of your lines and that you must keep your lines strong even when your not speaking so the other actors can react to the effect of the words your character just said.

For example, Chloe's scene has been difficult for her because she struggles to show true passion behind her lines when she speaks and she often fades away her lines when she's speaking; because of this, the scene lacked honesty making the scene very unconvincing. She fixed these errors and did it again and the atmosphere changed in the scene drastically because her lines had more grit, power and honesty behind them.
