Decisions, Decisions...
I'm not sure what I would like to do for my STAC inquiry. I'm debating several things. One, to explore monologues. The very last monologue we watched today, the film with David Hoffman and Ed Harris, the name escapes my mind, for some reason intrigued me and made me want to try preforming it. I've also always loved learning accents because I find interesting to be able to manipulate your voice to sound different. So, I've debated doing an inquiry on learning various accents. Off the top of my head, I'd love to learn how to speak with a Italian accent, German accent, Russian accent, and perfect my British accent. Lastly, I'd do an inquiry in musical theatre. I'm not exactly sure how I'd do this but I've thought of researching a particular writer and look up his/her musicals and maybe pick a few pieces that I would like to sing and preform them. I'm not sure which direction I'm leaning in right now, they all seem like they could benefit me and could all be great fun!

They do all sound like fun. Let's do all of them, but lets start with the monologue, because that will be the most immediately helpful and from there we can branch into other things, accents et al.
ReplyDeleteAs far as reading about a writer, what about Noel Coward? He's fascinating and I think you will find a connection.

There is a performance based on some Coward work at Adelphi the end of March.
Now, as far as monologues go, did yoy read the Karen Kohlhass book? That would be the place to start. Maybe we could grab a few of you to work together - Sabrina, Danny, Emily, etc.
