    really added a layer to it! studying an extract for GCSE and was having trouble with leah (completely open to any advice from the leah in this, she was bloody brilliant!) not her lines, the daydream-y, not finishing sentences lines were surprisingly easy for me to get, but the tone of voice and movements and trying to tone up her humor when it was necessary.
    anyway, an amazing performance i'd say. was recommended by a peer to help and really did.
    nice one!

      Hey idk if you still need help but it easier to remember music so what I try to do is make my lines a song to memorise or I memorise the end of each sentence of the person before me ( you don’t need to do this if you know where you come in) the same for myself then I make up a sentence that make sense with the end of my line and also the story line. You don’t have to remember your line just improvise but do it carefully because if you say the wrong thing you can confuse the next person ( which is why I memorise the end of my line so they still know when to come in) or change the whole plot. Hope that make sense, sorry if this doesn’t help

      John Tate was changed to Johanne Tate. The truth is the actor playing Phil was meant to play John Tate and my friend was to play Phil, however, my friend couldn't continue due to personal reasons and so the actor playing John was recast to Phil and the crew got the female actor in last minute to fill John's part and changed it to a girl. Hope that makes sense.
