Question

You are going to perform a dramatic reading at a local retirement village where your grandmother visits some friends. Though you are used to performing in public, this crowd is different because your grandmother is in the audience. She is in the tenth row of chairs sitting with a group of friends. She told you discretely that she didn't sit in the front because she didn't want to make you nervous, but you can still see her expectant face in the crowd.

Which of the following is NOT something you should be concerned about as you step in front of the crowd?

A. Can my grandmother and her friends see my facial expressions in the tenth row?

B. Am I enunciating enough for the back of the room to clearly understand me?

C. Will I emphasize the climax dramatically enough for the audience to catch its importance?

D. Should I have worn the special necklace my grandmother gave me as a birthday gift?

Answer 1

A. Can my grandmother and her friends see my facial expressions in the tenth row?

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is D (should I have worn the special necklace my grandmother gave me as a birthday gift?)



When performing any type of reading, you want to focus on whether the audience can understand you, if you can convey the central message, if your facial expressions are good and visible, but NOT if you should have worn something.


Hope that helps!!
