Day 57 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Ran a workshop with Michael Testa. It was a cold read. Got a piece from a film that had very specific dialect almost Shakespearean. Michael wanted coffee and when he realized the coffee maker in the studio was too gross I offered to go get him some Joe. I left, came back and had 1 minute to read my scene out loud. Why I made the choices I did was due to lack of focus and time. I latched onto a handful of words the other character said to me and used that to influence my choices but I missed key stage directions that would have clued me in. I played this character weak, fearful, without love, when it was exactly the opposite. He was a soldier, a decorated one who missed the love of his mother. Not a spiteful, spineless coward who hates his upbringing. I just didn't get it because I didn't focus or take the time.
Oscar Sunday! Everyone was classy and kept the speeches free of politics, rants and crass subject matter. They had substances and were to the point. Everything was well deserving and I under estimated Hugo's take. Just be Scorsese's name was on it, I feel it may have garnered more wins than deserved. Mainly I wanted Potter to win in some of the other areas. Makeup or visual effects! COME ON!! But Midnight in Paris and The Artist were by far the most fun and monumental pieces of work.
Finally, this blog is for me. A video diary of sorts. Where am I now? Where am I tomorrow? If the day involves a funny story, a weird voice, a leap forward then so be it! I guess that blog will be more entertaining than the day before.
Until tomorrow!
