1. Rate: Being nervous can lead to rushed lines. Slow down!
2. Projection: Speak loud enough that people on the back row can hear you.
3. Clarity: Be careful to enunciate. Speak clearly without running words together.
4. Expression: Over emphasize in your portrayal. Subtlety is not for the stage.
5. Pitch: Use the full range of your voice. No monotony!
6. Stance: Stand straight with both feet on the ground. Be careful not to fidget or do things that detract from your role.
7. Poise: Be confident! When you make a mistake, don’t draw attention to it with giggles, eye rolls, grimacing etc. Moving on or starting over are the best things you can do.
