All the best :)When it comes to acting, theatre, drama etc. it is always important to enhance the character within you and be the character in your own home as a little warm-up. Always remember that good use of blocking (movement), reinforcement of props, costumes and what not and projecting and enhancing your voice is essential when it comes to performance as the effect you are trying to have is one in which the audience; knows who the character is, knows what role they have, understands their place in the story, feel the atmosphere and emotions that the character is trying to present (mood), as well as being able to understand what atmosphere and emotion that is in the way it is presented (tone). Simply and plainly try different approaches to your character and, most importantly, imagine it from an audience P.O.V (Point of View) and ask yourself if it achieves the criteria placed above as well as asking if it feels/felt engaging and interesting for you to watch (from audience P.O.V)



PS. Sorry that it's kinda long and complex but if you look at it clause by clause it makes perfect sense :) .
