overeact?


Question Posted Friday March 10 2006, 7:12 pm

i have one line in a musical "lets meet him in the hallway so we can invite him to dinner." i was really dissapointed that i didnt get a part but i just decided to do this one line as best and enthusiadtically as i can so maybe the teachers will see that when i auditioned i was just nervous since it was my first audition. i just wanted to know some tips to make my line sound really good and proffesional! i'll do anything!

You shouldn't overdramatize a part or line, because then the character and line just get really stale, really quick, even for just one line.

Doing a line more enthusiatically doesn't really help you. Do the line like you character would say it, and don't do it just to get the attention of the teachers. You audition is done and your part has been cast, and all you can do is act the part and try better next time.

Also, stage makeup is handled already for the performance, I doubt the directors would make you put your own on. And I speak from a few years working the drama performances at my school (s).

I hope I helped.

I was in a play once when I had only one line and what I did for it to stick out was just play the part...not overdramatasize it but just kept it good in the role. I mean there is not much you can do other then just try your best and make the line fit the role.

Stage makeup is makeup you where on stage...and you wear it however your role calls for you to play it.
