"You need to build," your director tells you after your monologue. What does he want you to do?

Answer Increase in intensity

When a director wants an actor "to build," he/she is asking for the scene or monologue to build in intensity. In acting, vulnerability is a strength, so the building-up of a mood or emotion can make a character appear more vulnerable, concentrated, or psychologically complex.
