Assignment 6- Emily Chavez

I think my group did a great job at portraying Algernon, Jack, Gwendolen and Cecily in a true sense. Eliza Jane and Weiran were particularly successful in terms of projection and use of the stage. Although a little hard to hear in the video, the two did an excellent job at making sure the audience was able to hear their lines. Also, all of us did a great job with staying in character. I think some of that comes from our use of costumes (McKenna and I wore our prom dress and EJ and Weiran both wore blazers) and McKenna and I used British accents. In addition, we all memorized our lines and didn't distract the audience with the use of index cards.
I think I could have improved with projection and inflection of my voice, and was a little awkward when it was my turn to speak. A lot of that came from nerves, but I could have been a little louder and projected towards the audience. As a group. we could have used the front space of the stage a little more, but I think overall my group did an excellent job with the skit.
Having to really grasp the personality of the character helped me understand the text. Cecily is kind of naïve and that came out in my performance, I believe. I also had a lot of fun preparing for the performance with my group.  It was an awesome experience overall.
