Cindy- A Nice Character

Since the beginning of 'The Children's Theatre Project' I have played a Narrator/ Pirate, an Evil Henchman, a Cockney Hoodie/ The Voice Of Mr Dibbles and an Australian Hoodie. All of these characters have been evil or scary and so my target for this project is to play a nicer/ happier character, which I should portray by adjusting my facial expressions and voice. I was also told to make myself a larger role within my group's production. I have attempted to do this by giving my character more lines and making her 'a bigger character' (as we were told that children like 'big' characters).

I found a character that fits in with Moonfish Productions' show nicely. I have kept the Australian accent, as I was told that children like to hear different types of voices. It also allows me to play around with this character's voice in a way that creates humour. Cindy's voice is more high-pitched than Jordan's (Australian Hoodie) and she smiles a lot. She's quite cheeky, energetic, loud and excitable, but not very clever and she's very girly. She nearly always has her hands up to her shoulders, with the tip of her thumbs touching the tip of her middle fingers, with her pinkie sticking out (to show how girly she is).

Here is a rough copy of my lines and cue lines for the play as of yet:
