Devising 9

Research

David Cameron speaks at #cpc13

Here I looked at the opening statement, where Cameron talks about being on the side of "hard working people". He jokes around and very much plays up the role of being on the side of the "little guy".

I think that this is a card that many politicians are playing at the minute, selling themselves as people the public can relate to, for example David Cameron not wearing a tie in his bid for Prime Minister. I'd like to play on that, my character will be jovial and hearty, playing up to the audience and trying to get them on my side, however the undertone of the speech will be that I simply don't care about those in need.

I am also looking at how politicians move and hold themselves whilst giving speeches, things like using their hands to emphasize a point, they all stand very straight and assured their voices are well trained and they are all well spoken. These are all things I will incorporate into my performance.
