weeks review

This week we focused on story telling to different audiences. We stuck mainly to different age groups. This ranged from 5-80 years old. We were told to walk around the room and say a line from a story or.just a line that the age group would be interested in the most. For example if the age groups was 5 years old you may begin with "once upon a time". You may raise your voice and use big and obvious hand and body gestures. We were then told to keep our body still and engage the audience by our voices. We were told to tell the story of "Little red riding hood". One by one we would come up and say line from the story, but how we say it depends on what age group we receive. I found myself thinking more about what to say rather than how to say it. After a while we all found it pretty easy. We were then told to tell the story of a typically adult book to children using body and vocal Techniques. We made a joke of it first but I found it hard to tell an inappropriate story to children and keep a straight face. After some practise I learnt how to adapt my voice to fit community's.
