It's funny how you think I can act.

       I'm not going to lie. Pardon my language but I am scared shitless of acting. I am confident I can sing. I am confident I can act while singing. But to act alone is something I have only little experience in. My part in Zombie Prom requires a bit of acting so of course I am nervous. Ginger is a know-it-all tattle tale "good" girl who will do anything to get attention for being right. Sounds simple but it really isn't. However, the other day I made the director laugh (not at me but at the joke!) and I felt so relieved. To know that I am actually conveying certain aspects of the character right was just incredible.
       I love to make people happy so I guess I should think of acting as another means to do that. Well, at least this kind of silly acting. I feel like dramatic acting might be an easier if not less intimidating task because the actor can channel his angst. Comedic acting requires different tones, the right timing, and odd facial expressions.
       I feel as though I am on the right path. Not skilled or confident but getting there. I think I just need to per form the show and I will feel better. I don't know. I am comfortable on the stage so I shouldn't be so worried. No, I will just be confident and pretend acting is nothing more than singing.

Please and Thank You

You know what I hate? When I am perfectly polite curious young woman asking a reasonable question, met with a spiteful response. You see, for a while I have been making plans. Not evil plans. Just plans that involve a CD of my singing that might be sent to agents. Crazy, I know. But I need some type of project, whether it be performing or recording.

So being the new assertive college girl I am, I nicely asked a woman (not a random on the street, the person I was supposed to ask) about recording opportunities here at school. And I was met with an icy cold stare and, for lack of a better word, snappy tone. A bit condescending, actually. I wanted to say, "Hey, lady leave your grumpy caffeinated attitude on your breakfast plate!"

Evidently, I was hungry. Regardless, I just smiled like the nice person I am and said "Thank you." 

I don't respond to bitterness with bitterness which is hard because I am only human. I guess this office woman could have been having a crappy day but honestly she didn't have to spread that crappiness to me. 

So no, I can't record a CD that may be the key to a voice-over career here on campus. That does not mean it won't happen. I'll wait till I get home. All I know now is that lady needs to listen to a good show tune. :P
