I felt like I needed to push myself a little bit today with my acting. I think I've picked things that are in my comfort zone a bit. All acting roles that I know I could play on some level. I tend to gravitate towards nice, and happy, or funny. I needed to pick something down today. This went well with the rain too. So I decided to film out back with the rain behind me. I really liked the atmosphere. I wasn't fully satisfied with my work, but it was a start.
I am taking a workshop on Friday. I am really looking forward to it. And I am utterly terrified. I know that I fall short in a lot of areas in film acting. I need to work on making braver choices, faster. I can make obvious choices quickly or interesting choices with rehearsal. The trick is getting them both. Hopefully this challenge will really help with that.
I think I need to start stockpiling material. I keep scrambling for stuff on line. I really want to find a few good plays to sink my teeth in and do some extended work on, as well as having pieces to work up quickly. Time to start scouring the pilots database I found for fresh stuff. I may also need a trek to the National theatre bookstore. Start building up my books again. I have so many that I've left in the states because they are difficult to pack.
I hate realizing all the stuff I've left behind. It's random, and it catches me by surprise. It's always something totally unexpected. I just have to keep adding to the small stash I have now! I think I might need to inspire myself with a trip to the south bank soon!!
No word on my audition from yesterday. This is not at all surprising. I know that it'll take a few days for them to turn around, and they may still be auditioning today too. Also it's highly likely I won't hear anything. I totally accept all of that, and I'm not worrying or sitting by the phone moping. It's just something that I am aware of at the back of my mind. Maybe I'll get a call. Who knows?!
