Skills Audit

What skills have I developed so far on my BTEC?
I've learnt that I should always learn my lines cold so I don't get into a rhythm of saying them. I know to break my script down into the given circumstances so that I can really live in the world of the character. I can now find objectives quicker and easier. I can evaluate my own performance usefully and critically. I have learned to connect my body and voice whilst feeling the sounds of the words. I can make my voice resonate and my articulation is good as well as projection. I feel confident in my space proixmics and am now competent with mask work. I have learnt to research in depth about my character using the internet, improvisations and literature. I know how to communicate my intentions through movement. I now know about  my casting range. I have learned about the importance of using breath and spending emotion to really unlock my instincts. I can now work effectively as an ensemble and I understand energy on stage and also how to make good transitions. I learnt how to build a world in response to a stimulus/text. I l discovered how to adapt my performance to a specific audience (Children's Theatre). I have learnt about different theatrical configurations like in the round and thrust. I now know that every scene is a chase.

Have I gained any skills elsewhere?
I studied ballet so I could learn to move on stage (head up, chest out). I learnt puppetry and object manipulation. I did an exercise by complicite with bamboo sticks and learnt to create a story travelling round a space with the stick between mine and my partners index finger. I learnt how to create and 8 move duet with a partner. I did a bit of choral singing and I also learnt how to breathe effectively into my diaphragm.

Skills Audit 

Voice: Projection - 8 
I can easily make myself heard on stage. I have a strong voice and I never struggle with volume. I now how to adapt for different theatrical configurations focusing on pushing the sounds through my core.
Accents - 3 
I can just about do 3 accents (Cockney, Southern American, American - general). If I attempt to do and accent sometimes the character voice is lost and the performance becomes cliche so I need to work on that.
Articulation - 7
I know how to use the front of my mouth when I talk and have clear diction in my speech. I can communicate my lines clearly with clarity. I know how to use each syllable effectively.
Characterisation - 5 
I do very good research on character so I know the entire context of the world that they are living in however when it comes to implementing all these facts I sometimes struggle. I need to work on showing all the research I do through the way the character behaves.
Rehearsal skills - 8 
I can effectively rehearse in any given environment, whether that be by myself or with an ensemble. I know to learn my lines cold and to not repeat anything I've done over again.
Movement - 8
I am quite flexible and have basic dance training. I know how to tell a story only using my body. I also know a bit of physical theatre and competently apply my skills to a piece.
Mask - 7
I can use a mask effectively in a scene without breaking the illusion of wearing a mask. I know how to clock the audience so I communicate what I am feeling in a scene and I can also tie in my movement skills.
