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.

    T Identify the motivation or objective of a specific character
    To achieve this explain specifically what your character wants in the scene described and in the play or their life generally.
    T Describe how a line could be spoken, giving clear reasons
    To achieve this you need to refer to a specific line a character speaks or could speak by quoting and use key words (pitch, pace, pause, tone, volume, accent) to describe your use of voice. You then need to explain exactly why the character should speak in this way.
