Overall the rehearsal process has helped me to develop my skills as an actor. I was able to portray two different characters totally different to me, and two that contrasted with each other completely. The improvisations have shown me how each of my characters would respond to other characters, therefore I gathered an understanding of how to talk and act when around others that I come across.
I've taken the work seriously, and at points I was pushed out of my comfort zone. At first, finding out that I had a play an abstract character wasn't great for me, but as the process went on playing an abstract character was my favorite part, as it was completely different to who I am, therefore I could turn up the melodramatic acting as much as possible. I've responded and acted upon given direction, and have carried out my rehearsal tasks well. Gradually I was able to see my characters literally come to life.
