All my life I have had aspirations to stimulate an ambitious and strong leader, I extremityed to grow up and become the president of the United States of America. I had many dreams and hopes that would make the world I lived in a better place for the people of America.That was every changed because of one man, my father. He was very old fashioned, he inadequacyed me to follow in his footsteps and have a meagre job as a f builder. I hated my father, he was a cruel man. He was a heavy drinker a dire alcoholic. In the subvert my mother and I had enough of his office and problems he used to become very abusive and violent towards us for the smallest of reasons so my mother and I left home when I was only ten years old. I n forever heard from him ever again from that day on. I received word that he died a lonely death beneficial last year notwith underpining I must say that even so I am happy that he was alone after all the suffering he caused on my mother and me. level(p) now I hate reminiscing ab provide up my child hood, I grew up during the cold war, I detested the fact that I could have been blown to pieces at any moment by a Russian nuclear weapon. I loathed the fact that I could lose my friends and the only family member I had my mother at any second.Thats when it happened, my mother passed away. She committed suicide. She took an overdose of pills, and to think I was only fourteen when this occurred. That was the moment I had no one in my life. All my family was gone. My mother just could not handle life anymore. She was light and we had little income. I had to work after schooling in a little caf, clearing up the place just to earn enough money to feed us that night. I had to go to school and work at such a young age. Her life became unbearable then click (N.B *click your fingers during the performance) she was gone.That was I had the burden of deciding my future, I had the choice of outlet back to live with my father or to watch with a pa rent family that had been found for me to live with. I did not want to live with my father because he would oppress me again. I decided to live with a foster family.My foster father was a colonel in the army so he would unendingly be away working with the government. My foster mother was always at home, she would always tell me amazing stories about her husband and how he was helping America. I apprehended the way she looked after me, and having a foster father who you could look up to and respect was for me truly inspirational. He was the father that my real father could not be. My foster pargonnts encouraged me to follow my dream. I studied and excelled in my work so that one day I could live my dream as a veracity and lead America in to a free and peaceful tomorrow. I have al close to effect that and can not begin to memorialize my gratitude towards the people who raised me into what I am today. Through all of that though I impart never forget my real mother. For her I will become the most patriotic man to walk America.Use of MovementFor the enterprisingness of the soliloquy I am going to be positioned near to the corner of the room. I will slowly walk from the corner towards center do at a diagonal. My facial expression should be firm and strong with a hint of vacancy. When delivering the go-ahead I would inhale deeply so that my chest will push outwards. Facial expression should show some what pride and slightly joyful when speaking.Slowly walking towards the consultation for the delivery of the second paragraph. woful upstage in a straight line. Now with a slightly more grimace olfactory modality on my face. When speaking I would be using powerful arm gestures throughout the paragraph. The arm gestures are to be what awaitms to the auditory modality random, jerky and fast. Ideally when mentioning the facts about my father I would use powerful arm movements.Now I should be walking backwards in a straight line provided slowly while deliveri ng this paragraph, I should return to the position at the centre of the stage whither I delivered my opening from. My facial expression should be very strong and firm showing my anger but with a certain amount of fear and concern. Showing anger by frowning at this stage will affect the drama positively. Arm gestures should be made specifically on the phrases blown to pieces and loathed. When speaking I would be looking down slightly towards the floor.At centre stage before the performance I would have set up a chair specifically for this paragraph. With a bereaved expression, this paragraph is to be acted out while seated. Having my head in my hands would highlight the emotion with me taking my head out of my hands after each sentence and looking up at the audience.Now, for this piece I would stand up for this paragraph. Positioned center stage, with smooth arm gestures moving outwards after every sentence.For the final section of this monologue, I would again come towards the au dience in a straight line. Slowly getting adjacent with each word and using arm gestures such as clenching my fists throughout the paragraph with tense but sustained movements. Positioned upstage at the center where I would become noticeable to the audience. Then to end I would civilization with a immobilise with my hand placed over my heart, with a still and strong culture sustained.Use of VoiceThe prologue to the monologue should be started in a very proud and approbative tone, with particular expression put on the adjectives such as ambitious and strong. The opening should be at a metier pace but at the like time calm and smooth whilst expressing a joyful opening.Now with the second section bathos a change in tone should occur. With the emotional content in this part, the tone should change to sad. I would change my phonation so it is in a hurried fashion. plot sadness is shown at particular consigns when concentrating on the words footsteps and meagre sarcasm should be shown. The paragraph should be penetrative and at a quite heavy and loud tone but maintaining the emotion at the same time. A protective tone of voice should be adopted when talking about your mother and yourself congruous subjects to violence. When mentioning that you were happy when your father passed away, a glimmer of hatred and evil would affect the piece positively.When speaking here a similar tone should be maintained as the previous section. Here concentrating on how your childhood had burdens. Subsequently expressing your self through exaggeration when talking about being blown to pieces b a nuclear bomb at any moment. With jealousy expressed when using the word loathed.This part of the monologue should be performed in a lethargic tone of voice. Speaking slowly with a twitchy voice after every few words or so. Contrasting the first paragraph drastically. Stressing on the points of your mother destruction and having a job and school to consider, using deliberately pes simistic tone. With the humorous type of sarcasm when reflection click then she was gone.Mood and tone are again channeled from the last segment of the monologue. Tone should be a significant amount more formal and with signs of things becoming better for you. Fast pace but with optimistic tones present.Pace should be built up for the conclusion with it going from a slow opening to the end to a climactic finish. Contrast again to the last paragraph. Tones of self belief and strongly sustained. Pauses after every sentence should be invoked. A build up is required for a dramatic ending. Optimism and varied loudness should be used until the last line. A dramatic impact with the uses of the emotions of pride joy but a hint of sadness. A calm expression of voice near the beginning would aid the build up. With a use of a loud voice at the end of the passage to highlight the end. The ending should not be conflicted with any sarcasm because it would ruin the stage for a grand finish with all of your goose egg inputted into it.Impact on AudienceWith the opening I want to project the mood of pride and optimism. The audience should get the sensation of a meaningful and joyous introduction. It should engage the audience in to thinking whether the monologue will be cheerful or gloomy in the simplest of terms. The voice should convey a contentedness that it is an optimistic opening and is filled with happiness. The issue that should raise a question and again make the audience think is where I enter from. Why did I enter from the corner of the room? The reason v=being it has a hidden meaning of despair about it the despair being obvious afterward on during the performance.The contrast should stun the audience. With the sarcasm and cruelty with speech it should make the audience feel shame for me. The movement towards the audience should show tension. I want to communicate the feelings of hatred and anger through my voice so the audience can see that their first poss ible impression was wrong. I want to show them the frustration that has been built up in me for years. I am projecting myself to show them that I am furious about the past.I want to convey and portray my fear. Again a slight contrast to the previous paragraph. Even though fear and jealousy are invoked, at this point I want to try and make the audience feel what I feel all the tension and fear from the war. I could make the audience involved by particular messages and use of body language.The audience should feel my emotion and feel they have lost something when they hear my tragic story of losing my mother. I want to portray a grieving relative / family member, but show the variation with the slight sarcasm with the click section. This has a deeper meaning the audience may realise certain sarcasm.The burden upon me of choice should reflect the previous paragraph I want to communicate the idea that still life for me is all hardship.The final paragraph should show the audience that in that respect is a light at the end of the tunnel. It shows the variation to them that can be seen throughout the piece. It should make them see that life is a virtue and that not everything is bad. Inspirational things can happen to anyone. The contrast is my method of performing out and showing to the audience a broader variety of emotions, language and movements. Belief and patriotism is another point I am trying to convey through the use of my language this is shown when talking about my foster father and my dreams to turn America in to a peaceful country. The last line and sustained freeze would make a bold point by giving the piece a climactic finish and endeavour the audience to really see the provocative emotions used in turn causing the audiences create reactions and mixed feelings to the piece. The object of my monologue was to convey many messages about voice, movement and dramatic performance in drama.
