How did writing and acting the soliloquy help you better understanding your character?
For writing the soliloquy, I need to think in my character’s logic. I also analyzed the way she feels and she thinks. When I was writing the soliloquy, I was considering what would my girl say, how would she speak. I have to get rid of myself. And I continued to tell myself that I’m not myself any more; I’m Leia Lille right now.
Although she is just a very normal person, she still has her special characteristic.
She hates to be special, and she is afraid when she was under many people’s sight.
Therefore, I chose a scene when she was surrounded by a lot of people. For her, that scene was a nightmare, since everyone was staring at her with plenty of curiosity.
When I was sitting on the stage as Leia, I did feel audiences’ curious sights. They wanted to know what I would act. I usually feel uncomfortable when I’m in the same situation as well.
I found that I actually created Leia Lille based on my own characteristic, and I didn’t even notice that until I understand her better by writing and acting the soliloquy.
How does it help with public speaking skills?
I think the biggest challenge for me is that I need to act on the stage. And I cannot be myself anymore during my performing. As I was a little girl, I hardly can do these things. However, after 3 months’ public speaking class, I feel more comfortable when I’m standing on the stage.
Acting the soliloquy needs me to keep my face on, whatever my character did something silly. That can help me to keep calm when I say something wrong during my speech. I can ignore all of my audiences and keep on my great performance!!
