Question: I have to perform a monologue of mice and men on monday&tuesday!?!!?
okay so in my English class we read Of mice and men and after we finished it, my teacher assigned a monologue to my class and we had to pick a character from the book, and i picked George and i'm really scared to perform, i mean when i raise my hand my voice is average but we have to be in front of the room so i'm kind of scared and nervous and also when we did a practice performance today i felt like i didn't have any emotions when i read mines out loud!. Everyone else was sooo good in my class but i felt like the odd-ball! any tips!?!!?

Thanks this really helpss :]]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Practice! Practice! Practice!
Speak slowly; more slowly than you think, b/c when you're nervous you'll go faster & faster!.
Try to memorize it so you can use your hands & move around; more like natural speaking and NOT just reading!.
Make sure you totally understand the piece so you CAN fully experience the emotion!.
Practice!.!.!. then practice some more! lol

You'll do great, Sweetie!!

PS: Speaking in front of other people is what people are usually MOST afraid of, so you're not alone!. Hang in there!.

So if you are in an English class how do you get away with asking your question in such fractured English!? Surely you must have learned some grammar during your schooling!. Start the first word of a sentence with a capital letter!. The first person singular is to be capitalized (I not i)!. Proper names and titles are capitalized (Of Mice and Men not Of mice and men)!. There are lots of other errors here but those I just cited are the most horrifying!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Idk!. But we just started reading that book in my engilsh class 2day! I know this didn't help you but i just thought I would let you know!. ;<)Www@QuestionHome@Com
