In Tale 1, I know my lines and cues, but I think we can all work on how fast to come in and say our lines to make it more snippy and quick, more interrupting each other rather than waiting for them to finish speaking.

We are trying to add some accents, so I'd like to play around with those a bit, also with my pitch a bit so that I am not coming out as a monotone. Also, adding some character, like laughing a bit when saying 'wouldn't they all?', or saying 'can stick up for himself' like I was idolising him, thinking it was cool. Also, finding other things to do while on the phone, scrolling through Twitter or Facebook or calling someone while twirling a strand of my hair.

I liked having creative ownership of tale 7 as we got show what we thought of the scene and how we worked as a group, trying to come up with something that we all think is adequate.

So far we have blocked up until 'The prices are all up front mate, I say. YOU picked them up.'. We have chosen to have Benji start the scene behind the counter while the rest of us imitate being his brother, stacking shelves, trying to make the time go by. 

After this, we start shopping, looking for the items that we may need for the evening. However, I think this will probably look a bit messy to an audience as we really just look like we are loitering. Plus, it's late and there wouldn't be that many people in the shop. Maybe if we all do the same thing, just to form it a bit, giving it more shape so that we can continue blocking the scene.
