In this lesson we were all given childrens' books, and told to go into our own spaces and read them to ourselves. After we had gone through them on our own, a few of us performed them to the group. The person reading would be on a chair and the rest of us were seated on the floor in front as if it was reading time a primary school. Surprisingly everyone felt really comfortable when reading, there weren't any mistakes in the sentences and the audience were very supportive of the person reading.
When I read my book 'The Fish Who Could Wish' I was very comfortable, I read slowly and my voice was animated, I faced the book towards my audience so as I was speaking they could see the pictures as I said the words. This increases the level of concentration within the young audience, and I know if I felt this relaxed and confident as I did when reading this book as I do in auditions I could go far.
You will go far Eden. Keep plugging away!
