My passion
Ever since a young age a massive passion of mine has been drama. Now drama studies can seem like quiet a scary thing for some people. Well i have had some major ups and downs in my whole time of doing drama studies. Today I'm going to share with you 6 amateur mistakes that i made, so you don't have to.
1. Don't rely heavily on your group. For my final performance in drama i had a very lazy group which lead to the later fails of our performance. Don't be afraid to take charge and make changes depending on whats best fro the performance not you're group. At the end of the day it makes you the bigger person. As they say, the show must go on.
2. Don't over think things. In drama when you are given the freedom to choose what you want to do for you're performance, it ok to be imaginative but try not to think of unrealistic storylines, such as flying to the moon in a real rocket.
3. Rome wasn't built in a day. What i mean by this is you not have to have everything planned and ready the first day you get your assignment. Im a very impatient person so when i was on the course, i wanted a script a character the whole shabam on the first day. In actual reality this will not happen, and if it is than it isn't going to be the best work, therefor lowering you're grades. Ouch!
4. There are no small parts. Yes i know this sounds stupid but it is 100% true. Someone with the part of a maid and one as a princess in the story can gain the same grades. How do i do that? you ask well it really comes down to you. If you put in 100% effort and show the audience that your a professional and you have bloody got this.
5. Make sure you have you're script ready before the actual night. Yes it seems obvious but sometimes you make so many changes that at the end of the night you don't have a final script. Then if you need a line call it might not be on the script. Plus any people that where too lazy to learn the script, can read their lines from paper.
6. Finally be careful with props. funny enough you aren't on the set of Eastenders where you can whack people in the face with a bottle, and they come away fine. In my latest performance I ended up whacking a fellow cast member in the arm with a wooden stick. Its all fun and games until the audience bursts out laughing because you're cast member is uncontrollably swearing.
These are my tips to a successful drama performance.
please don't make the same mistakes I did
