Without seeing the script or hearing the performance, that's all anyone can say. if this is part of a student project, then take it to your acting teacher for guidance.

I don't want to sound like a person reading a message like they do on a train station or how they read the news in the old days. It should sound more improvised. my lines sounded like if I read from a letter. Like the ending in Simon Bitch pethaps. what does speechlike actually mean

Aug 8, 2022 at 15:23	comment	added	Darren		I think OP is asking more about the delivery of the lines as written, rather than ad-libbing changes.
