I’ll always be there because I’m a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I’ve any talent is beside the point. ~ Michael Caine.

* Am still working on the voice, practitioners and speeches etc. Not tweeting much as I am still more dull than I care to admit. #
* Singing along to EP on the radio. #
RT @Dramagirl Something I just learned ‘Off-Off-Broadway theaters are defined as theaters that have fewer than 100 seats.’ #theatre #

Before you can do something you must first be something. ~ Sir John Gielgud.

* Continuing with Hagen. I’m sensing a long running theme will develop *must be more exciting*. #
* More Hagen. Objectives and “doings”. Finding the word “doings” amusing. Feel about 7 yrs old. #
* More on Hagen. Love that she worked/trained on her own too. #
* Suzman reminds me of my old drama teachers. So giving up on it (is that blasphemy?) and moving on to Hagen, much more fun. #
* Shakespearean Comedy. Yes, more of the same. I am v. dull. #
* Continuing the Suzman theme. #

Acting is the ability to dream on cue. ~ Ralph Richardson.

* Still on the Bard, this time Suzman’s take. #
* Returned to Barton today, ahhh. Am stepping away from the dialect before I get too obssessed. #
* Have been v. quiet on the training front. Two lovely friends gave me voice books/cds for xmas. Am immersed. #
Happy New Year! Have a good one #
