Don't forget that males often emit more agression that females, and are more likely to hide thier emotions. - good luck - !!

hmm...one thing is to try and walk with your shoulders (it makes sense trust me), just sway them slightly, but not too much or else people will tell, tie your hair back in a bun and thin your lips...i've done it before and once you practice, its easy.

good luck! xx :)

Drama advice

You need to think about the character and context of the play which the character is speaking. Generally ask yourself questions like "who am I"  "what is my purpose" and build a character profile

when you have all of these things in your head it will be much easier to act. Make sure your voice is deeper and more forceful assembles have lighter movements than men. Maintain these and you will get a A*
