How Could You Express Yourselves?




If you want to present your performance on stage, you should know how to express your role. How could you do that?

You can find some basic expressions below and don’t forget to ask your students  to follow these expressions one by one, such as:


 1.    Happy:  
If a person smiles and shows a bright face


2.    Sad    :
  If a person shows her face so mellow and sometimes tears fall down.



3.    Angry:
If a person shows his eyebrows like this expression and sharpen his eyes with a mouth locked.
 
4.    Confused:  
If a person lifts one of his eyebrows up and the other down, with a mouth up and down.



5.    Surprised;
      If a person shows her eyes and mouth open widely.


We have known some basic expressions. The next step is to ask your students to show their expressions too.
Next, we should practice how to read a text. Thinking about  how to say some words clearly, you will think about how to produce those words. Before that,  you should teach your students some vowels in English pronunciation. Your students  have to  know how to say them and also consonants. 

It is important for an actor to know how to pronounce the scripts.   The pronunciation should be clear, so the audience can understand  what you will express to them

We divide into two categories in English pronunciation. Remember, you have to ask your students to practice about these. Don’t let them free on stage. It will embrace them. The two categories are:
1.    Vowels:




2.    Consonants


If you think your students are ready to know those vowels and consonants, give them a short text, ask them to read with the expression based on the text. By giving some practices, your students will be brave to show their expression in front of public. Here is a simple monologue. Don’t forget to give an example first with your expression. To make them so expressive with the scripts, you have to explain the meanings before they read expressively the monologue.
