I mentioned previously in the Tennis Lesson #2 post that a second lesson is like showing up for your second day at your new job - you think you can do it, and fate smacks you across the chops and yells, "What the fuck are you thinking?"
Acting Class #2 was tonight. Started out great with a good scene with a young woman playing my daughter. Then we came to tonight's cold read - a scene from Boys On The Side between Mary-Louise Parker and Whoopi Goldberg. MLP's character Robin is throwing WG's Jane out for accidentally telling her boyfriend she has HIV.
Should be simple enough to figure out, right?
Unfortunately, Second Day on the Job Syndrome kicked in, and what should have been a serious oh fuck I'm sorry moment came out of my mouth as a giddy, embarassed oops instead.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
This not reading a line until it's time to deliver it is going to kill me. I think I liked working in oblivion much better. At least then I have an excuse to act like an ass.
