Sticking to my "day job"
So today I started to entertain the idea of being an actress. I was watching tv and suddenly got the desire to stand in front of my mirror and spout out random conversations with myself...in varying accents if I might add just to show how much of a dork I am...and I found that I can even cry on cue. I was having fun with all the miserable time I find I have on my hands, and I decided to pull up a script off the internet just for kicks. I came across 'The Last Kiss' starring Zach Braff and Rachel Bilson and decided to give it a go.
Yeah, um can I just say how hard and hilarious that was for me. I suck. bad. Even though I understood the context of the scene, I still couldn't capture the character. It's so hard to not be you. I lasted about a page and a half and thought if I ever walked into an audition with that material, I would kick my own self out. Guess I'm not gonna be a superstar. Bummer.
And on another note, it's not that weird that I did this. I mean, how many of you dance around your room listening to the radio and pretending you're a singer/dancer? It's fun to pretend, and if you never let go or act ridiculous ever then I feel sorry for you.
Channeling my inner diva,
J
