Once we became off book, we started to use props, so, that we were used to them for the actual show. For example, I was given a staff to hold this would have to be in my hand constantly, but this wasn't necessarily a negative as it made me seem more powerful and dominant as it was quite a creepy looking object, it was used for the characters spells and magic. This video was a clip filmed roughly 6 weeks before the show went up, here is the clip and an annotation of it. The notes at the bottom are from both myself, pier and director feedback.
* "World" sounds like "werld" - I need to annunciate more clearly.
* I need to slow down when speaking as I am connecting words together and that results in it not making any sense, so I need to be more pronounced.
* Remember all lines, I have either missed words or mixed them around at some points in the rehearsal.
* I need to use bigger actions and utilize the prop (staff).
* More evil! My laugh needs to be bigger and bolder.
* Be ruder to the spirit, the character is meant to get on your nerves.
* Be prepared for the audience to boo and hiss, so pause to make sure you give time to the audience to do so.
* Stop pacing and moving about the stage - relax and react to what is being said and done on stage.
* Get the audience involved and don't be scared to break the 4th wall.
