- Speech o Every line aims to reveal more about
• the character
• the dramatic situation
• The emotional life of the character
- What is the “Emotional Wash” o Where every line is dominated by only one emotion, which results in the performance not being engaging. Often the emotions are superficial and general (sad, happy, angry, sincere) o The characters life is filled with a collection of moments that are rich, deep and unpredictable, these should be shown in the speech o Avoid the categorisation of your speech as it tends to be not creative o A search for a certain ending can twist the rest of the speech which can abandon the main ideas and themes in many situations o Avoid acting the characters emotional state o Keeping the objective and obstacles that your character has to overcome can unleash emotions o Ask what the journey of the character is, what do you want to find? o Drawing from REAL LIFE results in better conviction and a performance o Key idea: Learn IDEAS not WORDS. This results in an authentic performance, from the different elements of drama (mood, rhythm etc.)
- Objective o Refers to the characters needs and wants. This is flexible whilst in rehearsals, avoid using negative or passive objectives as it is limiting. Instead the objective should be positive and active, this will enhance a drive in the character. o Find the reason initially
“Can you live in that moment, as best as you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that gentlemen then you’re perfect.” Doesn't take much dose it? This speech has so much meaning and and purpose behind it.
Luce begins the speech with a lighthearted, humorous tone. This tone helps to set her apart from the audience, as seen when she says, “I ask you only to remember you asked for it!” The humorous tone also helps to persuade the audience into trusting Luce and feel more relaxed and open to listening to her words, which also appeals ethos, “The delicate art of giving an audience hell is always one best left to the
In “A Worn Path” colors are used to emphasize the depth and breadth of the story, and to reinforce the parallel images of the mythical phoenix and the protagonist Phoenix Jackson. Eudora Welty’s story is rich with references to colors that are both illustrative and perceptive, drawing us in to investigate an additional historical facet of the story.
wonderful it is but he soon changes the theme of the speech to his own
The narrator though an educator, is not very good at verbalizing his emotions. He tends to be the person who keeps everything inside
This balance between contradictory images, and suitably formal writing style helps to make the speech so powerful. He uses pronouns like "we", and "our" which unite the audience, making them feel like the whole nation is grieving with them. The pronouns shift, as he speaks to Diana herself, "you brightened our lives", then again, towards then end of the speech, to "I".
In this analysis, one will be able to see the correct and incorrect actions that speakers may commit. More specifically, the speech, “Marcus Luttrell, speaker New York, 1 of 2 / Operation Red Wings - Lone Survivor” and “Marcus Luttrell, speaker New York, 2 of 2 / Operation Red Wings - Lone Survivor” will be analyzed to understand the difficulties and the triumphs that speakers commonly have. This paper will examine Marcus Luttrell’s speech mechanics, structure, development, and influence over the audience.
President Whitmore also presents the sentences with a certain tone that drastically differs between the words themselves and the effect they emit when actually spoken. When reading the script, some of the valuable persuasion can be lost due to the fact that there is no true voice presenting the dialogue. However, this speech has multiple examples of tone arranged in the piece from the various punctuations and exclamations, sentence fragments, and repetition. Those three aspects carry a majority of the persuasiveness along by adding a mixture of projections to the words allowing for the reader or listener to become locked into the message. The punctuations and exclamations provide a signal indicating which sentences or words exhibit more stress or elegance when read. The sentence fragments break down sentences and provide a phrase that can have a heavier focus to develop more meaning. Lastly, the repetition helps stamp the idea of unity and survival into the reader's thoughts. Although, when the speech is spoken by President Whitmore in the movie the tone completely changes. The script gains more meaning when put into the situation it is meant for and achieves the wanted impression considerably. Even though there is
Another element that makes this speech effective is the use of pathos. Pathos appeals to the reader's or audience’s emotions. One example that appeals to the emotions of the audience is when Wilberforce declares, “So much misery condensed in so little room, is more than
Primo Levi was a Jewish writer and Holocaust survivor from the concentration Auschwitz. Primo Levi talks about in his book called “Survival in Auschwitz” about what it means to survive. There are many quotes that stand out in his book and have strong importance to them.
In this scene the performance is based on a particular delivery and facial expressions of that of one emoting to channel tension, anger and regret.
Evliya Çelebi is a man who travelled throughout the Ottoman Empire and into the surrounding territories during the mid-seventeenth century. He was born in the Golden Horn region of the Ottoman Empire and was raised in the Sultan’s palace. Çelebi had access to the best education that Istanbul had to offer. Despite this, Çelebi defied expectations by choosing to make a profession out of travelling the world and recording the sights he sees and the events that occur during his travels. His family had close ties with the Ottoman court, and was regaled with tales of the campaigns that his father’s friends had been on. This likely had an influence in Çelebi’s desire for travel and fueled his passion for the way that he recites the events of his
The speech itself shows how in the end, only good comes from the most evil of things and that good will always concur over evil
Mary Oliver, who was acknowledged by the New York Times as “far and away, this country’s best selling poet,” was born on September 10, 1935 in Maple Heights, Ohio. At age fourteen, she started writing poetry about the lush woods surrounding her childhood home. Later on, she drew inspiration from Edna St. Vincent Millay, a poet and feminist, whose house she stayed at in New York. While she was there, she met her lifelong partner, Molly Malone Cook. In the 1960s, she and Molly relocated to Provincetown, Massachusetts. Influenced by transcendentalists like Whitman and Thoreau, she is well known for her themes of the natural world. However, while her earliest poems solely focus on nature, she evolved to become more personal and spiritual by
The essay investigates how a director should communicate and work with actors during rehearsal and on set to produce engaging performances. The essay investigates different acting styles, the rehearsal process, directing on set and communication between actors and director. The essay assumes the actor has formal training and basic experience. The essay then proves effective communication achievable through the “actor’s vocabulary” is key not to over-direct and building trust with the actor.
