Monologue assessment - Feedback

Monologue assessment-feedback
I  received feedback from my tutor concerning my monologue- this is the feedback I received  
  • It was fairly good but it has the makings of being a good monologue, I just need to be more creative and add in some more movements e.g maybe I could stand up on occasions when my character is getting carried away with herself.
  • I need to project my voice further
  • when I am taking down notes at the end, I need to make sure I actually look at what I am writing down!
I have come up with a few ideas to improve this:
  1. when my character (Frosine) is getting carried away during the line "I could match the grand Turk and the venetian republic" I am going to stand up, yet she remembers very quickly that Mr Harpagon is watching her therefore she shakes her head in dismissal and sits back down. I am also going to stand up during the lines "she has not any hankering after extravagant dresses, expensive jewellery or sumptuous furnishings" and " do you mean to say that a modest appetite, a sober taste in dress, and a dislike of card playing don't amount to anything tangible? why, they are a marriage portion and an inheritance rolled into one!" during the first line (she has not any..) she stands as she is getting excited about the dresses she is talking about, she twirls and tugs at her own jewellery showing this; It also gives off an impression that she is a bit gossipy, which i believe her to be. She stands during the second line as she is confused and slightly frustrated that Mr Harpagon can't imagine what she believes to be flawless and wonderful ideas! she will shake her head and glare at Mr Harpagon in frustration.
  2. I am going to work on the aspects which need improving e.g projection and making sure I look at the notebook when writing.

I intend to go closer to Harpagon, similar to the
picture. I wish to mime money in my hands
to show that Frosine is using His greed to her
advantage
