Acting Class Tonight

My first class back in a long, long time. I took off some rust there tonight. We did a scene from a movie. I played a con artist looking to hook up with this lady who had this drug called 'coldfusion'.

Anyway, it was good to shake off the rust tonight and get into a character. I need to remember several things.

Be still.
Drink water before a scene so I do not lick my lips.
Take ownership of the character.
Take chances.
Be still.
Find my motivation.

It was a romantic date scene, so I had to forget "the user". Sometimes that was hard, to shake that. But I'm getting better at creating a quick back story for a character.

Next week we get to cold read and I love that!!!
