The Battle scene is going well. A few notes.

Hayley: When you're in the moment of the battle you are soo in it, I caught you -- only once -- out of it.  Remember actors, Consistency is a key factor in success.

Frenchie: Why don't you start with your sword down and slowly raise it up as you wait to be pushed by ... Bilbo: I want to see horror on your face -- this violence is beyond the Hobbit.

Ela: Shadow's going to really work for you. Start practicing a spider's crawl.

Kenzie: Go from OOpps to "Drat!"

Ryan: Voice is dead-on as Mule. Take your time. Also, instead of sliding off the mound (won't work) Come down the stair to your left. Drawn your line out as he come down the stairs ... "Stop! Stop! He's a no good, ratty LIAR, (beat) O' Truly Tremendous One!" Change it!

Pariesa: Your movements are great, work on your battle face.

Tim: Remember you're a tough dwarf, so assert yourself.

Jazz: THANK YOU for your hard work and imagination.

Charlie: Great face! When you run out -- find a noise like a snort or a wheeze instead of a yell!

VOLUME!

Dwarves: When you get in the circle, remember you are champions and heroes. Bump knuckles. Cheer! Be happy!

Trolls: Awesome! The southern thing worked, Joe: Be more confident. 

Denelle: Gruff in your voice. Monica:  It'll be hard, but try to move more like a man.

Brant: Good movements. Work on not smacking a grandmother in the front row.

Dwarves:  No more smiles.

Jakers: Nice voice but don't rush. Practice the discovery of Thorin's sword. He has a cape I believe. Work together will Hayley. You and Ryan must practice the armpit bit too.

LOTS OF SWORDS WERE CROSSING THE PINK LINE!

Reese and Summer: Sweet. Giggle more at the Goblin Ear joke. Kaitlyn will hold for you. Our Queen and Roxanne and Jasmine: Ice cold I love it. Remember volume. 

Patrick: Stay focused and keep your voice on an even keel. (Not so many ups and down but smooth) You sounded older and wiser in some scenes, Keep it up.

Dwarves:   You're best friends. Show us that.

Shane: In the event, we --  for some reason -- can't mic you, practice projecting your voice as a part of your home-studying. This will help with pronouncing his words using the fine character voice you are creating.

Kimmy: I love it all. The spider dance is right on. We'll work with Ella and polish her movements. Jazz and you are on the right path. Keep it up.

Goblins
:  Nice. Keep working on your timing during the Smash, crash chant.

EVERYONE SAY, "THANKS SANDIE!"
