1 Minute Monologue

OK...I have an audition for the CBS Diversity Showcase thingy on Friday and they want a 1 minute monologue...one minute...

Needless to say, finding a monologue of quality that is only one minute in length is a tough task. I will just have to write one myself. I have been known to improvise a monologue, but I'll resist that temptation. I did book a USC short film using an improvised monologue. Hmmmm...

...no...I better write something!

Perspective

Mirrored Building

I just got back from a trip back home to Kalamazoo, Michigan. This is one of my favorite buildings, anywhere.

The mirrored glass on the front of the building reflects in lots of different directions so you can see the same thing from many perspectives. Also, you might see something in one square and something completely different in another square.

It just reminds me of the limitness variances of perspective that are available to us as actors and as residents of earth. From any location, we can choose a multitude of directions. With any line, we make an in-the-moment choice based on our perspective. When we don't book the job, it may be that our perspective...even though we are reading the same script...varies vastly from that of the casting director. Not necessarily a wrong choice, just a different perspective.
