Expressive Sample-Monologue



Role shifting has never really came naturally to me, even though I do it everyday when I am speaking and telling stories. With that being said, I really wanted to focus on how to properly role shift and appropriately show a dialogue taking place. This brief monologue of Morgan Freeman appearing before a parole committee from the film Shawshank Redemption allowed me to practice role shifting and in doing so, I made sure it was clear who was speaking.

Expressive Sample



This is a short expressive sample from a YouTube video on How to Fall Asleep Faster. I believe that this a good representation of my expressive skills because it really focuses on my use of constructed action. I have been working hard on "showing it, not telling it" and I believe that this sample allowed me the opportunity to do so.
