Self Evaluation On My Chicago Monologue



I was given the monologue of Mona to perform. Before performing this monologue I had to research a few things about the monologue to give an insight on what her situation was, and the reason behind this monologue. 
I personally think my performance was successful, I knew the lines and presented it confidently to the class. 
However I thought of some negatives, things that could have been improved. Such as, I thought I could have used more of the space when performing, I very much just stood in the same place for most of the time.
Another negative was that I could've exaggerated and overemphasised particular words to seem more like her, for example the lines "he saw himself as alive and I saw him dead". 

However, overall, I thought I did a decent performance. I will set myself a few targets for future monologues, the first target is to exaggorate more throughout the performance, to do this I could possibly speak louder, use hand gestures and maybe use better facial expressions. 
Finally, another target for the future is to use more of the space around me, instead of standing in the same spot the whole time I will use the space to make the performance more interesting and captivating.

  1. What about targets for future performances? Set yourself a long and short target.
