In my process of character development i created my version of how I would portray Florizel, The Waiter, Servant and The Lord. For the Waiter i had a Brooklyn accent and was very fond of Mamilius whenever he was at the cafe. My Lord character was from New York and in the court scene is where i had to be quite serious about my character because of the situation about Leontes and his wife and as i was the one that read out what was going to happen to everyone from the oracle. Finally my main character in the play was Florizel. This character was the stereotypical romantic character who was all loved up by this woman that had come into his life, to properly portray my character I had to show the love and affection I had towards Perdita. When building my character I had to show that I was in love with Perdita but I could not go over the top with the character but as it was Shakespeare and a play on stage we were able to get away with a bit of over acting.
