Q The Process: 1. Post your cold read video (you should have already done this) 2. Experiment with vocal techniques during class and rehearsal time (you should have already done this, too!) 3. Record and post your improved cold read, using vocal techniques that we learned and discussed and rehearsed to create character voice and narrative tone. Post this video to the discussion board for Cold Reads, as a response to your original post by 11:59pm on Friday, the 16th. 4. Think about, and respond to, the prompts below in writing. Type your responses out in a word document, and submit them to this assignment by 11:59pm on Sunday, the 18th. The Prompts: Respond to the prompts below. This should be submitted to this assignment as a word document. 1. Describe three specific details from your performance (literally, describe what you observed yourself doing, in detail. Not like, "I used my voice to make a clear character," but like "when Baby Rosie cried, I used more projection and volume than when I was narrating, and as Baby Rosie, I used a high pitch with a gravelly texture). Following each description, explain how these details either enhanced or detracted from the storytelling. 2. Reflect on your auto-drama, your cold read, and your improved cold read, and identify two main goals for yourself for the rest of the semester. Explain what these two goals are, and why.
