Everyone	DICTION – circle all consonants.  Do not rush lines. People who are not on stage need to stay hidden Step on lines Open up to the audience to speak No straight lines SLOW DOWN – It’s not a race Learn your lines Work on gestures – must be natural Be quieter on stage – crossing Lower voice pitch- all voices need to be deeper Do not talk backstage All actors – more facial expressions Act from the toes to the head. Don’t yell – speak from the diaphragm Getting down the ladder is not a race. Watch blocking
