- Massage jaw, temple, eyebrows, under eyes (inward, not outward)
Monologues
- Use your body as your character would
- No huffing/sighing- sounds like you forget lines
- Be convincing
- Use your whole voice
- Don't use random gestures (even as physical connection to your character)
- Don't do monologues that are overdone
- Think about who you're talking to in the monologue instead of to a room of people (movement will become more natural)
- Don't lock people's eyes (look over heads)
- Can cut up monologues (except Shakespeare)
- Be comfortable with silence/pauses
- Turn nervous energy into the character
- Connect the top of your body to the bottom
- Pauses for laughter
- Mugging (getting the audience to laugh on purpose) vs. deadpan (funny, but the character doesn't realize it)
- From the beginning, make it seem like it's already the middle of the scene/dialogue
- Connect voice quality to natural gestures
- When listing things, make them sound different (variety)
- Picture what you're talking about
