Reflection on performance

Short reflection due: what were your personal strengths and weaknesses in this project (review the video to assess your performance). 200 words. Post on blog

For me, one of the strengths is that I use some body languages and some facial expressions. In scene 2, when Mom brings the bone soup to Caroline, I did not have one. So I am awkward and stares at Caroline's soup. Also, when mom is nagging about I am not the right one to be married with, I look down and stares at the table in front of me because I suppose to show the "guilty" feeling.

The weaknesses are obvious. First, I can barely hear myself. Second, I did not do well when I have to reciting lines and using body language at the same time. In the beginning of the play, because my voice suppose to be low and with no energetic in it, its hard to hear my words in the video. I think I need to adjust the volume to a point that it fits the melancholy mood and audience can hear me clearly. Another place I did not do well is the conversation between me and Mom. It is the part when mom changes her opinion and asks me to give the teddy to Caroline. After she calls me Caroline's fiance, I should be surprised. I did surprised, but I surprised because I forgot my lines. Because I forgot my lines, I had to pay most of my attention on recalling so that I did not have a lot of movements and that part was not very fluent. In order to improve it, the very first thing I need to do is to memorize my lines as more as I can do. By doing this I will not be forget my lines during the performance. Furthermore, I think I need to write down the movements and body languages that I will use in performance. And I will practice the movements more and more so that eventually it becomes a muscle memory.
