Hi:
I know that the less expressive faces of some judges can
be unnerving. My students have experienced this when doing
Royal Conservatory exams. The examiners must write comments,
assign marks and offer suggestions all while the exam is in
progress so Diane's comment is right on the money...they are
concentrating.
Oddly enough, we also take students to CNDA competitions
and musical theatre class is one of the categories.
The judges are giving mini tape recorders with tiny mics which
they hold right at their lips and record their adjudications while
you are performing. This way they can watch and enjoy while
they talk. Believe me...they laugh, react and show on their
faces if they are enjoying the performance.
The students really enjoy performing in this competition
(unfortunately it's Canadian only).
