Unit 2. p58 How I would prepare for a part in a play

How I would prepare for a part in a play

I'm going to explain how I would prepare for a part in a play briefly. It's not very common to take a part in a play, but if we could count common presentation chances in classes, you are always doing your part in your presentation play. I think it's not that different between presentations and plays. You take roles in presentation as a good public speaker just like the role in a play. Following is my simplest suggestions which I'm using always to prepare for my part in a presentation play.

 

Organizing my role in a play is the first step to be done. You should always know what you are going to speak in public. To do this, a lot of researches should be completed before you organize your presentation and if it is an actual play such as musical or whatever, you should always understand what the character is doing its role in that play. The purpose of your existence in a play is the thing you should consider when you organize your role. If it's a presentation in one of your class, you should classify that why you are going to present and if it's a musical or a play, you should know why your character is there in a play.

 

Next, preparing every substitute for your play is what you need. If it's a presentation, you should try to prepare a nicely organized, interesting power point. Other that the basic power point, you could make your own key note cards as well, and proper suit or dress maybe, neat hair style which you could do your best. If it's a play, you could memorize all the scripts or lines you have, and bring your props to use in play something like that. You should check everything before you go because if something is missed out, it would make you feel very uncomfortable and unprepared.

 

Now you prepared for your presentation or play just like everybody does. You made or brought every little substitute for your role to be succeeded; now it's time to prepare in front of others. Alone in your room practice is not useful, but if you preferred this way, I suggest to record your own voice and at least practice while you stand up. It's very important to practice in front of others. Have you ever record or videotaped your presentation or play? Even though the camera lenses cannot criticize your voice or make comments, it would make you a lot harder to practice your lines.

 

Practice is never enough, but if you feel like you've prepared quite well for your presentation of play, finally I can suggest you just one more thing to do. Just do it. You would be never satisfied in your practice and you would always feel like you are not prepared or not very organized at all. But that's what everyone has to go through. Nobody could be perfect. You can make some mistakes or forget some of your prepared lines or even mess up everything, but that's what should accept because it's the reality. So don't afraid to make any mistakes. Just do it. You are always prepared if you followed these simplest ways to prepare for your role.

  1. to yoonjin,
    I was happy to read your writing. It was very interesting and it is like taking personal lesson. I think connecting a play and a presentation is effective way to attract reader.

    Your main point seems to introduce how to prepare a part in a play and presentation.

    I like the words in conclusion. Because it is so warm and comforting.

    However, I was surprised in your introduction because the first line was little direct to me.How about starting with question like 'have you ever played a part?'? Then, most people say no and they will be surprised when they realize in second line that they actually play a part in daily life. Just opinion^^
