Assignment 6- Olivia McCrary

Our performance went fairly well. I think we did good job of staying in character, though I have suspicions that I lost my accent halfway through (and I’ll never know because my voice is barely audible in the recording). Our character development was okay— our portrayals of the characters were defined and accurate, though they could be improved.  The voice aspect was decent as well. We used accents, and our expression and projection were okay, excluding mine. As made clear by the recording, I spoke significantly softer than I had intended to. Also, I think we made good use of props and spacing. The best thing about our performance was probably the fact that we were prepared and had our lines memorized. The overall effect of our effort was positive, though I feel rather disappointed in my own performance- with such an important character, I can’t help but feel as though I failed my group.

This was a fun and memorable experience to some degree, though I’ve now realized that my stage fright is a severe issue. (I seriously need to talk louder.) It’s a miracle I didn’t have a panic attack on stage. I really appreciate The Importance of Being Earnest, more so after performing it. I think Jack might have to be my favorite character— I guess I’m honored to have had that role, though I didn’t really succeed.
