 Auditions The auditions for the end of year shows were a different approach and something i have never experienced before. Kelly didn't want us to audition for a specific character this time and wanted us to prepare a monologue to show her. This monologue had to show what i can do, my capabilities as an actor and something new she hasn't seen from me before. The point of this was to showcase my talent without saying what role i want, so she can see what skills i have and what role suits me based on my acting. This was also done because it gives me the experience i need for future jobs, introducing me and my peers to different types of audition processes is essential as it means we aren't as nervous when going to an audition. This process in particular will be extremely useful as this is the type of auditions expected from drama schools and universities to get in, which i am hoping to do in the future. I really enjoyed the monologue i chose to do as it was something more bo...

Candidate Declaration - I confirm that the attached portfolio is all my own work* and does not include any work completed b y anyone other than myself. Tuesday 16th April Today was the first day back for me as i wasn't able to come in the Monday, so i started the day with my auditions for the end of year show! I was nervous when i first came into college but i went over my monologue a few times and i felt confident enough for my audition. I feel like it went quite well and it is a piece i enjoy performing so i will definitely keep it for future references. After the auditions, i joined the rest of the class and we started doing a read through of the two plays! We all sat in a big circle and people stood up in the centre to read in for different characters. This was good because it gave everyone a chance to see the scripts and characters out loud and on its feet, therefore allowing people to get a better idea of the characters they are interested in. This was also helpful to Kelly, ...

Name: Sienna McCarthy Pathway: Performing and Production Arts - Acting for Stage & Screen    Section 1: Rationale  Before i started this course, i had minimal skills and understanding of what it meant to be an actor, understanding bits of script work and emotions. Through the course so far i have developed a further understanding in these acting techniques and others (such as accents, improvisation, vocal skills and creating characters) and massively improved on my confidence as a whole. My confidence means a lot to me as it has made me a stronger, better person within myself as well as an actor. This is great working towards my goal to further develop my learning in second year then hopefully go off to drama school in the future.    Section 2: Project Concept For Radium Girls, my production role is a 'vocal coach' meaning i make sure everyone's voices are warmed up ready for rehearsal. I aim to do this by creating some fun games to keep everyone entertain...

Task 1 FOR PRODUCTION DIARIES SEE POST:  https://siennasactingexperience.blogspot.com/2024/01/my-production-journey-production.html Task 2 For the design element of this assignment i have chosen to look into hair and makeup for the mean girls mainly but looked into some of the other characters as well. The reason i chose to do the mean girls as my main one is because i am a mean girl and it helps me to understand the stereotype and what i want in my character a bit further. LINK TO THE DESIGN ELEMENT:  https://stocktoncollege-my.sharepoint.com/:p:/r/personal/02300122_stockton_ac_uk/Documents/Task%203%20-%20UAL%20Assignment.pptx?d=w116bfdb69a2d4c7491f96a1f07201bd9&csf=1&web=1&e=b4uuEc This went almost exactly as i had visioned in our final performance. Our hair was wavy and how all the images looked and the makeup was very blushed based. The only difference is we did a bit of pink on the inner corner of the eye and a brown outer eye instead of pink and glitter. Over...
