"The Training Week In Brief (2009-06-28)" ~ June 28th, 2009
If you’re playing somebody who is not you, then you can imagine that you are that person. You can feel like he feels, move like he moves, look like he looks – in your own mind. ~ Morgan Freeman.
- * Verse, monosyllables this time, and more SA. Beginning to feel this is like trying to climb Everest without a Sherpa
# - * SA & Verse. Interesting notes on earning pauses, not just dropping them in to sound natural. #
- * Today: continuing Hagen & SA, recapping verse. Going to relax with ‘Dirty Harry’ now. #
- Just wrote ‘make list’ on to-do list. Am questioning my sanity. #
- #ff @thestage @shentonstage @bardfilm @ActorsLounge @KevinSpacey @dramaticmisty @orbyn (All great tweeps.) #
- * Hagen (destination, destination, destination) and Verse. Slacking on voice though
# - * More verse: play lines rather than words. Thought it seemed odd & restricted but it sounds much better. Yay for discoveries. #acting #
- Am recovering from my movie tear-fest. Acting fans, Glenn Close’s restaurant breakdown in THOFTS is amazing! Have you seen it? Do you agree? #
- * Verse. Monosyllablic lines and more on caesuras (the wherefores, this time). #
- The inevitable happened: cried over ‘The House of the Spirits’. Damn, have puffy eyes today. #
- Watching ‘The House of the Spirits’. Am apprehensive: it’s long and imdb says it’s sad. Another movie to cry over. But it has a fab cast. #
- * Today more verse. More on pacing & also breath control. #acting #
- RT @ShentonStage The rise of the brainy actor: Michael Billington on how actors can teach critics a thing or two. http://bit.ly/fZIyh #
