__________ Did the actor have good voice
control?
Pitch
– speaking in a high, low or natural voice.
Pace –
the speed at which someone speaks, eg the speed of response in an
argument.
Enunciation
- is the act of pronouncing
word clearly.
Pause
– a dramatic pause at a crucial moment could merit a comment.
Tone –
this suggests your mood and your intention towards the listener, eg happy
or sad.
Volume
– you might be commenting on audibility but you’re more likely to be
discussing the effect of a loud, powerful voice or a quiet, nervous or sad
voice.
Accent
– you may be talking about how someone has achieved a convincing accent or
how the choice of accent enhanced their characterisation.
Emphasis
– the pressure on individual words that makes them stand out. Emphasis or
stress for a particular effect is significant and can change the meaning
of a sentence as well as the feeling behind it.
Intonation
– the rise and fall of the voice. There’s a clear movement up at the end
of a sentence when we ask questions for example. Intonation also helps us
to say what we mean.
___________ Were each of the deliveries

1. What is a tableau?
In a tableau, participants make still images with their bodies to represent a scene. A tableau can be used to quickly establish a scene that involves a large number of characters. Because there is no movement, a tableau is easier to manage than a whole-group improvisation – yet can easily lead into extended drama activities. It can be used to explore a particular moment in a story or drama, or to replicate a photograph or artwork for deeper analysis.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (born on 29 September 1571) was an Italian painter active in Rome for most of his artistic life. During the final four years of his life he moved between Naples, Malta, and Sicily until his death in 1610.
