- the intention (Why did the script writer write those lines?)
- why is the character saying those lines
- who is the character saying those lines to
- what emotion is the character feeling at that moment
Apply
- Emphasis
- The purpose of emphasising words to help to bring the point better.
- Depending on the words you emphasise, it could mean a different thing (a different message).
- Timing
- Both the emphasis and timing (to articulate or prolong enunciating certain words) can change the mood. It can either increase tension (suspense) or make it humourous.
- Remember to take your time and not rush through the lines. (There must be a reason why that line is included in the script.)
(Extras) *Reseach needed*
- The Era of the play (Especially Shakespeare's work)
- It will indicate to you the context (background info) or the situation back in those days (era) which will aid in your understanding of the text.

- how the character feels about the text or script. Is it an important matter to him (character)?
- how hard is it for him to say these lines
- the action. (what is he doing at that point in time. )
- clues to deduce the appropriate action ... read before and after the scene.
- you'll find that an action will change the delivery of the lines.
Main goals in acting
- make it seem like a real situation. If the actor was indeed the character he would have done or reacted the same way.
- make the play come to life
- make it interesting, captivating for the audience to want to continue watching and giving you their attention.

Attack it a different way
Look out for the ...Understand
- it's more than just memorising lines, you need to know how to say them (how to deliver those lines)
- the energy level
- Be aware and play around (experiment with it) to find out which energy level is the most situation for which part of the script or line.
Apply
- (Method/ Technique) do the scene in a whole complete different (or opposite) way than you are used to.
- This is to help to figure out your range of delivering the lines. After which you can find a suitable balance between that range.
- To test or figure out your range, you need to go deliver lines from extreme ends of emotions. E.g Extremely Happy to Extremely Sad
- Instead of letting it out, try to keep your emotions in
- Seek other people's opinion, ideas or feedback on your piece (by performing it for them)
- This will help improve your delivery of the performance as your friend/ the other person might inspire you or give you a great direction or idea.
*(Note) Be humble, open to hearing feedback or criticism. Don't get defensive, let go of your ego.

Give them 50
Understand- what is at stake? (what might the character be losing here?)
- if there's a deeper meaning other than the obvious message (especially if the character is telling a story)
Apply
- give 50%
- Keep the tension
- "Sometimes if you keep your emotions in, you make the audience feel for it (make them want it)."
- When you perform, don't make it (your acting) too obvious (as it can get boring if everything is too literal).
- Sometimes, if you restraining part of things that you want to show to the audience (means not showing everything), the audience would crave (and want) to know more.
(Extras)
- Set the stage or situation
- Don't be in such a haste to deliver your lines. You can be doing something (an action) to indicate to the audience of the setting the character is in. Establish the scene (location, the task at hand) would improve the impact of the delivery.
- Voice change
- Use a different tone if you're ever playing 2 characters at once or playing 2 roles. One distinction that needs to be made is the tone of voice for each character. The other would be the body language (how the person behaves, acts, or walks). You want the audience to able to distinguish which character you're trying to play.
- Choosing a monologue
- Ask yourself why are you choosing this monologue, do you feel for the topic or piece?
- Is it a suitable monologue for you? (Can you relate to that age group and that experience or topic covered?)

保持紧张
“有时，如果你保持你的情绪，你会让观众感受到（让他们想要它）。
当你执行，不要做（你的acting too 明显, 因为一切都会变得无聊)。
有时候，如果你把一些你想要向观众展示的东西（意味着不显示所有东西），观众会渴望（而且想要）更多地了解。
（额外）
- 设置舞台或场景
不要急于提供你的线条。你可以做一些事情（一个动作）来向观众说明角色的设置。建立场景（位置，任务）会改善交付的影响。
- 语音变化
如果您曾经玩过2个角色或玩2个角色，请使用不同的语调。需要做的一个区别是每个角色的声音。另一个是身体语言（人的行为，行为或散步）。你希望观众能够摆脱你想玩的角色。
- 选择独白
问你自己为什么选择这个独白，你觉得这个话题或片段？
这是否适合您的独白？ （你可以和那个年龄组有关系吗？）

Apply
- (Method/ Technique) Looking at the mirror
- Become more aware of your own body language and facial expression (if not wearing mask)
- Effective for people who are fidgety (who keeps moving around), this method will help them to stay more grounded.
- As you become more aware about about yourself (including body and facial expression), you would also give more attention to your lines. How you're going to say (perform) it? You'll start to process the script lines and ultimately finding a piece where you can mean your words.
(Extras)
- It's often to find fidgety actors who move around for the sake of moving (or when they feel like it). Every move, expression and action should have a meaning (or purpose). Questioning yourself ("Why am I walking right now") should help figure out when (to move), where (to move), how (you should move) and etc.

- Too often we think that words are not enough thus we overuse actions to compensate. Using this method, you will discover moments where you feel the need to emphasise or reach for something in a physical way. That will help you identify which words to emphasise and which part of the script requires an action or gesture. This is helpful for people who use too many
