Pitch accent

In our presentation “Lysistrata” I took part of Myrrhine, what I was accomplishing in this scene was to be as precise as I could be. To also have a classy pitch to match the tones of my classmates, as I listened to myself I felt like I did an okay job for the level that I'm at in theatre I wasnt too quiet nor too loud. Something that I would do differently would be probably be to a better pronounciation of words and have a good fluency of the lines that I have to read. My character didn't have…

The moon is the only paint on the dark canvas of the midnight sky, glistening down on me. I finally reach the end of the dock, and squat down on the edge. I glare down into the dark, murky water. My heart is beating faster than it ever has. It’s pitch black, and I can’t even see a centimeter down into the nebulous sea. Abruptly, a dark figure…

teacher to a student. When playing my role of Emily Griffin a year 11 student I first put on an accent to correspond to the area my character was living in and therefore used a South London accent. I was consistently changing the tone of my voice dependant on the way my character was feeling at the time. My character of Emily was constantly changing her emotions from happy in which I used a higher pitch and spoke at a faster pace in an excited tone; to angry where I changed to a…

it as if it were to be sung forte, which resulted in the ad lib over the chorus to barely be heard. Dynamics were an issue in some cases during the performance, but so were the accenting of notes. The arranger, Ethan Sperry, provided a number of accents in the piece to give it a drumming feel. This was lost, though, when the chorale sang in front of the audience at the concert. If the group was doing it, they needed to emphasize more on that, even though it might have seemed…

The world is a wonderful place, which is filled with extraordinary places to travel. Where it is to travel someplace where there aren’t as many people to a place where there might be a vast majority of people. Even though I have had memorable memories there is one memory that I will never forget, the day when my family and I traveled to El Salvador. El Salvador is known as the smallest country in Central America. The reason why we went on a vacation to El Salvador was because it is both of my…

Actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith, along with violinist Robert McDuffie and pianist Anne Epperson, made a permanent mark in my soul in her show, Never Give Up, on Sunday, October 18th, 2015. At first, she seemed calm and relaxed, drinking tea and talking slowly during her interviews. Soon, her voice started to change from monotone to dramatic. Additionally, she had intended stutters written out to truly capture her interviews like in reality. I felt at peace, then astonished as her voice…

personal standpoint, can keep the audience focused on the topic; the counterpoint to this is someone who may speak for a while on a subject without varying the pitch or rhythm; a subject that one must avoid in public speaking. Moving on to the dialect and vocal variety, this person was able to switch from a null accent, to a more personable accent that would feel as if the speaker was reiterating her point in a more personable way; a tactic, I found, that helped to create a personal connection…
