Describe how you are going to use pitch, pause, pace, inflection and vocal idiosyncrasy/accent in your performance of text.

The monologue I'm reading is about someone who's meant to be hard-core but has got a terror about being reincarnated in a fish, because she can't swim.
I think to improve I need to slow down and stop being afraid of pauses and breath while I'm performing.
I also need to work on my accent, because the character is meant to be really, really common because she comes from a rough background, so I think I need to talk a lot more common for that monologue.
I also need to talk slightly deeper for the character.

Chorus Speech;

In today's lesson we were being assessed on a chorus speech.
We were put into groups of four and we had to choose a song, poem or a short speech to read out to the class.
I was put with; Greta, Jade and Jenny.
The song we chose to read out to the class was "Barbie Girl".
The reason why we decided to use this is because we had to put on a high, flawless voice because we were being... Barbie.

Whilst performing it to the class, we took it in turns to say a line from the second verse.
In the first verse we all took it in turns to say "I'm a Barbie Girl" and then when we all did that we then said simultaneously "We're all Barbie Girls and we live in a Barbie World".. and for the rest of that verse we spoke at the same time so that our voices became one.
As it got to the second verse we then took it in turn to say a line, apart from certain bits like "uh, uh, uh, yeah!!" which sount better when we all did it together.
