Storm the Stage
Fri, 3 June 2005, 05:15 pmHi,
Just after some info from anyone who is invloved or knows much about Storm the Stage comp.
I was wondering how the adjudicator's felt about accents? I'm trying to decide whether to keep an Aussie accent or do an American one (as it's an American monologue).
Thanks,
Ashleigh

Ditto to what Scotty, Zac AND Kia said :P haha... if the audience is goin to be able to tell that the monologue is set in america, then its probably best to use the accent, because you are being judged on character for one thing! Also your verbal communication skills, so if you HAVE to use the accent, make sure you get it right!
Tho, if the piece isnt strictly american, and your a bit weary of using the accent, then dont... go in feelin as comfortable about the piece as you can! If your nervous about doin the accent, you will have a higher chance of muckin it up on the night! And...finally! Develop the character to how you think they are... dont let any other interpretations of the character effect yours...dont just use an accent for the sake of it!
Chookas! :D
