For my fourth and final junior passage, I will study the science of accents and hopefully develop a few myself. I will also try to improve on ones I can already do (i.e. Aristocratic English). I will explore the theatrics of them and application of them in theater. As far as an expert I was thinking of contacting Mrs. Jensen.
My presentation will be very audience involved and I will go through the main stuff as usual. At the end I will give an example of a monologue.
Some questions I want to answer are:
- How can different accents affect the audiences views on a character?
- What is an accent?
- What causes an accent?
- Why is it used in theater?
Goals that I have for this passage:
- I will get the hang of at least 5 accents.
- I will find and present at least one theory on how accents were formed.
- I will use the blog to a greater potential.
- I will use my expert to her full potential.
Quick question: Will your monologue be one you choose that demonstrates several of the accents, or will you write one yourself?
