Dino is going...well. It's been tough so far. I've never realised just how much work is involved being the lead of a school play. I have to say that being the lead actor is a hell of a lot different than being the stage manager. I'm always wanting to be directing other actors and it's real tough triyng to keep my mouth shut. I feel like authoritatative, which obviously makes sense. It's also kind of nice to be less authoritative, despite my desire to be.
I like being told what to do. It's one less thing I need to do (tell people how to act). I enjoy being told where to walk, how to walk, what to say, how to say it, etc. It's also really hard. There's so much that I'm always being told to do, so many notes that I have to write down. The tough part is all the blocking. There's always new blocking, always things changing. It's tough to keep up with it all, but I'm doing my best.
Somthing that I'm personally having trouble with, actually something
s that I'm having trouble with include:
- Articulation
- Lines
- Pacing
- Pauses
My biggest thing though are my lines. The off book date is NEXT WEEK. October 29th to be exact. For the most part I'm off book. My problem is being confident in myself to know the lines. I've studied them over and over until I've fallen asleep, but I can't seem to bring this to the stage to show it. I'm in need of the crutch that a script provides and I'm really nervous for next thursday when I will literally have that crutch taken away.
