You memorized your lines, your movements on stage are good, and the emotion you put in your voice is convincing. Just don't over due the accent and you'll be fine. This is for Patrick: Patrick, you have done well on memorizing a large part but you did mess up once. But we all did a little. Your projection was really good and so was your posture. This is for Laura: You did good, just remember to project. You moved around alot and put emphasis in your voice. You need to actually sound like you have a mental problem because your character does. This is for Wess C. Wess, we cannnot hear you, you need to face us. But you memorized your lines. Also, move around some on stage rather than just standing there. This is for Sarah G.: Sarah you did a great job, you just need to project your voice and you'll be great. This is for me: I think I did well, but I was swinging my arms in the begininng and my fists were bawled. This showed my nervousness so I will not do that on the actual performance. This is for Samir A.: You're a great old man. Great job with that shreik. Haha This is for Michael B.: Micahel, I liked your performance, but I think it was more funny. You did sound crazy but it was crazy funny. Just keep that in mind but your performance was pretty convincing. This is for Jessi M. You did a great job, just remember to SPEAK UP and face the audience. Hopefully you have memorized your lines since then. This is for Josh S.: You did well but you need to memorize your lines. And speak up a little too. This is for Todd:

Patrick likes needs to move aroud aroud more like he is getting in the room and look at the old man. Wess needes to talk more loudly and project his voice. Sarah did really goo with her moving around andd really getting into the mad man's thoughts. Teri did a really goo jod and she was really good with her qoulme and she was good. Samir look like he knew what he was doing, go old man. Micheal was really good with his lines and they came really fluently. I htink that Jessi needs to speak a little louder. she also needs to know her lines more better. Josh also needs to need his lines and needs to get into the charater more.

What suggestions do you have to improve the overall production of the “Telltale Heart”? Some of the actors need a little more practice. 2. What suggestions do you have for individual performers to improve upon? Todd- Good job! Wess-Dont face away from the audience but other ways good job! Laura- Voice is a little low bit other ways it was good! Terry- put more emotion into it. Patrick-good job! Samir- good job with your" who's there" Jessi- Your a little to shy and I think you need to memorize your lines a little bit more but with a little mor practice i think it will be good. Peter- good job! 1. What suggestions do you have to improve the overall production of the “Telltale Heart”? Some of the actors need a little more practice.

This is for Patrick: Your performance was really good too, but I think you need to work a little more and memorization and try not to laugh when you are doing your performance. This is for Laura: I think your performance was really good. There are not many movements that you can do for this part, but it was really good! I think you should speak a little louder and raise your pitch, it was a little too low. This is for Wess: I think you memorized it okay, but it was hard to tell. You need to project more, and face the audience. Your sounds get muffled when you face away. This is for Sarah: I think you did really really good, but you could speak a little louder, and work a little bit on your movements. You need to make sure you are facing the audience at all times, even when you are circling Samir. This is for Terri: Terri part was fawesome, but when your voice gets all high pitched when you are going crazy, you need to make sure you are talking louder and enunciate all the words. This is for Samir: I think you moaned at the wrong time. You need to work on timing, otherwise, you played dead really well. This is for Michael: Your performance was really well too, and you were really good at projection, but you need to work on your pausing. This is for Me: I need to make sure I am facing the audience the whole time. I also need to project my voice and work on my memorization. This is for Josh: You did really well with your projection, but I think you need to memorize your lines better so that all your movements are more planned out and fit your piece better. This is for Todd:
