- Keep the voice loud, don't drop volume, even in the thoughtful, more internal moments.
- Don't play the emotion, play the objective.
- Have clear and precise pronunciation, use your tongue muscularity.
- Earn the beat changes and pauses- to do this you have to come into the scene with energy and pace, driving your objectives.
- Be confident to pick up your cues and interrupt people- this will come with careful listening and being in the moment.
- Learn the thoughts as much as you learn the lines, if you know the thoughts, the lines will come.
- The characters are very posh, so make sure you have a straight, stiff posture.
- All the characters have very high stakes, they all have a lot to lose and gain. Make sure that you find your stakes and play them!
- Find the opposites and contrasts in the text, if you find these the text becomes alive and makes more sense.
- If you say more than one of the same word, for example 'No, no, no!', make sure you colour the words and make each one different.
Personal notes
- Find the nerves that Thea is feeling
- Find the difference between the outer and inner feelings- on the outside Thea is trying to remain calm, but on the inside she is churned up and panicked
- Drive my objective, which is to find Loevborg and keep him safe.
- If I forget my lines, I cant come out of character.
- Feel the beat change from inside, the beat change can't come out of no where.
