Assignment #10: Strengths & Weaknesses Print E-mail
User Rating: / 0
PoorBest 
Written by triplethreat   
Part of your continuing growth as a performer is being able to identify your own strengths and weaknesses – and attempting to do so as objectively as possible. Recognizing our own strengths gives us confidence – we rely less on the comments of others to give us self-worth. Identifying our own weaknesses keeps us humble, and gives us something to work towards. It keeps us moving forward – a stagnant performer is a boring performer.

For this assignment, identify two of your strengths, and two of your weaknesses. Be specific – don’t be tempted to just say “singing” is a strength. What specifically about your singing are you proud of? Similarly, be specific about your weaknesses. What skills do you lack that take away from your performance?

Blog your responses! We will be using these in the next assignment.

Strengths:
Professionalism
Big vocal range

Weaknesses:
Really bad stage fright every single time I perform
Vocal break - I keep thinking it's obvious to the audience when they have no clue

Is this alright?

Hmm.. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Weaknesses:
Rather flat chest voice
Rather weak head voice(So basically I'm a stronger actor than singer.)
Memorization under pressure(I'm the type of person who'll get on stage and forget her lines even though she knew them 10 seconds ago.)

Strength:
Good portrayal of emotions on stage
My vocal break is getting better
Stage crying(My specialty, although that probably goes with the first strength.)

hmmm

strengths:
Comfortable on stage. [ Im backwards. I'm nervous in auditions, before shows, and after. During the show, I'm as calm as I would be laying on the beach. ]
Character interpretation. [ I can completely become another person on stage, and I love making my character original. ]

weaknesses:
Improv. [ I'm not good at just whipping lines out of my butt lol. But this year I had to for one of our scenes during the show and I think I did...decent..with it. ]
My voice is very weak. [ I lose it very easily. Thanks to cheering for 5 years, I have signs of voice nodules so I have to rest my voice more than the average person. ]

I think thats what we're supposed to do? haha
