Music Music. Painting Painting. Photographs Photographs. Start there.

And try and find a monologue as a base. Something to build on. That helps.

Okay.. we all have a favourite book, a character in that book who we always escape to, who we become... become them on stage...

a piece of advice if you really do intend on creating a performance which is "dramatic" and "serious".... DO NOT BE TOO OVERDRAMATIC.. that is unless you purposely wish for it to be portrayed in that way.... if the "dramatic" you wanted was the heartwrenching-gonna-make-me-cry type, dont overdo emotions. you dont want it ending up looking like youve watched too many episode of passions or the bold and the beautiful-preferably passions....classic, very classic!
emotions are very powerful things... remember that..and every little movement and inch of your body conveys an emotion.... so beware!

remember a character you liked from previous readings n base it round them ... but overplay the serious as it mite not work ... good luck!!
