I was playing little Scarlet Mother, and to make the audients feel sad for Little Scarlet I made my character stand up really tall and then added a lot of anger into her voice.
I would also try to back Little Scarlet into a corner, to add the effect of her being scared of me to the audience. Then I would try to “reason” with Little Scarlet and putting on a sweet mother’s voice and make the audience feel pity for me, then I would start raising my voice, louder and louder until I am almost screaming for her to get out.
This should add the effect of how the audience thinks little Scarlet's mum is a bad mum because she is shouting and screaming at her child, most people thinks that's a bad thing to do to a child.
