I’m wondering if theres any cons to deleting my pending application and reapplying? Can i still use the same referrals as before?

My little acting class is having like a showcase play which is like a collection of short plays all in one. Im in one of them, but i havent been in classes long and I’m kind of freaking out.
I feel like i have a long road ahead if learning how to act, so I feel like i don’t yet know how to act still. The classes havent actually taught any techniques.
It’s in a few days now and I’m panicking, i really wanna do good. Or at least okay! My character needs to get increasingly stressed and towards the end I’ll need to shout a lot, i have to shout NOO in despair at the end.

Can someone help me with my problem, my voice is very quiet, I never shout, ever. I am struggling to even raise the volume. Besides this, I also don’t know how to deliver my lines without sounding fake- nothing worse than false acting! I don’t know how to genuinely sound stressed out, especially with an audience sat staring at me! I’m terrified honestly.

What would you do in my position if you had a few days to sort these barriers out?
Thank you in advance!

Today was day 1 of this meisner workshop. I was very excited! But as the repetition exercise went on, i became confused and i left with a painful head. I thought it was as simple as repeating. But eventually i felt like I wasn’t doing what they hopes i would, but i followed the instructions. I can be a bit black and white like that. But explaination became abstract, and the guy said im holding back and afriad to be rude or hurt the others feelings, but how would the others feelings get hurt by me observing the colour of their eyes? They seem to want me to shout? My voice is very quiet, but why must i shout? They talked about feelings, what am i feeling…but I’m not feeling anything. Why would i be feeling something from someone stating my hair colour? I feel like i just need to pretend or do whatever they want me to do but i dont even know what it is.

Me and my partner are going wrong somewhere, we quickly fall into mechanically repeating each other, but it can only change if someone decides to change the sentence, but then thats not repeating what we’ve heard. So it’s a bit contracting and doesnt really make sense? What are they wanting to see from me? They want me to randomly scream something at them? They said ti be natural and let my wall down, but it’s unnatural for me to shout, and it’s not a shouting exercise is it?

Besides this, I generally don’t get it, they talked as if feelings should come up, but why would feelings come up? And we should play with it more, but i cant change the way we’re saying it AND repeat exactly what I hear. I don’t want to feel like a failure tomorrow, someone please help my boggled up brain! They talked like it’s an emotional exercise but i don’t understand whats emotional about stating an observation.
