A break from storylines, and just some ??? maybe acting & lipsync work? I guess you'd say. Anyway, music helps my face emote it's feels.

Here's my favorite series, an Age gap romance between an Artist and Thier late 20s Muse/Model.

(Complication of 3 duets in chronological order of storyline, which are the opposite of the order in which they were filmed).

Part of the process of trying to Act again is the process of working your face, which is a journey in itself. Stuart is my favorite parasosial support human, and you should follow him.

How to deal with quarantine, a guide by a dumbass who can't deal with anything:

Gather your supplies. You'll need pens, pencils, notebooks, perhaps markers, and a whole bottle of your favorite soda

If you don't have one of those items, make due. Use a crayon and the back of a receipt, if you must.

Unleash your inner actor/actress. The scene: 1930s, during the Great Depression. Your role: a struggling artist (or poet or writer or what have you) and you just want to keep making your art, but money is a bitch and it's not your bitch. The only thing keeping you sane is the bottle of alcohol (soda) beside you, and there's plenty more where that came from.

Drink, give yourself a sugar rush and caffeine high, and make art. It makes making things a lil less boring, y'know? Also find a playlist to get you in character because damn it helps

Acting Practice Idea...

Guise! I have an idea to practice my acting (hopefully) without feeling like an idiot. We all roleplay. We’re a fucking network of roleplay blogs. So I know we’re all also creative as fuck. 

Here’s the thing. I wanna be your art. I wanna be your muse. I’ll try to look the part as best as possible, with the materials I have available (clothes, makeup, props.) 

I want you to send me an emotion, and a drabble. What I mean by drabble, is I want you to give me lines. A few sentences to a few paragraphs. If it’s more than a paragraph, I probably won’t try to memorize it, so it’d be more like a cold read. But still. You can even focus it on emotions and give me no dialogue at all. You can give me a name, gender, and describe the character/scene/props used. Try not to get too complicated on character description, for the sake of my sanity. Like, I’m not gonna go out and cut/dye my hair for this, or take out my piercings, or buy contacts. I will draw on scars, bruises, stubble, makeup, etc. I don’t have liquid blood, so I’ll be using whatever I have available if you want to beat me up. I’m genderfluid, so go ahead and tell me what gender you want me to play. I’ll try my best to dress the part. You can tell me to throw things, but I won’t actually throw the thing, because I’m in a tiny room and more than likely don’t want to break my prop. If it’s a piece of paper, maybe. 

I’ll film it on my webcam, since that’s all I have. So I mean, I’m just going to be sitting here, and it’ll be like, chest-up shots. So like, keep in mind that it’s not gonna be like the coolest thing ever. This is for kicks anyway. And practice. Feel free to even incorporate that as your idea. No, I won’t take my clothes off. Trust me. Nobody wants to see that shit. You may request accents, but oh god please don’t be offended if I can’t do it, or try it and fail. I mean, it’s practice, so it’s fair game. If anything, give me a suggestion how to make it better. You may tell me how high/deep my voice should be, but y’know, again, my voice is my own. So regarding that, if you want me to play a man with a gruff voice, probably not going to happen, like, ever. I have a fairly high voice naturally. If I’m not comfortable with the result of trying, I may just give you my own voice anyway.

Maybe don’t make it too complicated to start? Let’s see if this even works. I have no practice, so maybe for now, I’ll just be keeping my voice, and trying small challenges with it.

Please note, if I don’t feel confident enough, I won’t post it.

Example under the cut.  I’ll post two. One with dialogue, one without.

If I actually do this, I’m not doing it with a French accent because I don’t know how. And since I haven’t practiced yet, I think I probably won’t try for his voice either.

Without Dialogue:

Character Name: Armand Duval (since that’s the blog I’m using. Whatever) Accent: French  Gender:Male Age:19 Appearance:Messy hair, scar on lip, scar on cheek, a bruise near eye. Clothes:t-shirt with pocket.  Props: paper, tiny bottle of alcohol, mask Emotion:Sad/Angry Setting (for the feeling. Setting won’t actually change. So if you want me to rob a bank, I’ll be in my bedroom still):Bedroom (since that’s where I’ll be)  Anything else of importance:Goes by Claquesous. A criminal. Drug and alcohol addiction. Violent tendencies. Been abused.

Here’s the fun part. Underneath is the scene. 

Armand: [sitting at desk, beaten up. He reads note and looks surprised. Maybe fearful, which Quickly turns to anger. He crumples note and tosses it, then slams fist onto desk.]

*sigh*

[takes bottle out of shirt pocket. Takes a swig. ]

*sigh again*

[tries not to cry. sniffles. puts on mask]

With Dialogue:

Character Name:Armand Duval Accent:French Gender:Male Age:19 Appearance:Messy hair, scar on lip, scar on cheek, a bruise near eye. Clothes: t-shirt with pocket. Props: none Emotion: Remorseful/grieving. Setting: Cemetery Anything else of importance:Goes by Claquesous. A criminal. Drug and alcohol addiction. Violent tendencies. Been abused.

Underneath is the scene. 

Armand: 

[looking down at headstone]

“I... I’m sorry... never meant for this to happen. I never meant for any of this.”

[looks up]

“Fuck. I don’t even know if you can hear me. I just... I fucked up. I always fuck up. That’s about the only thing I’m good for.”

[pause in thought]

“This ain’t easy. I don’t know what to do. I’m lost without you. But it’s my fault. It’s always my fault. I wish... I wish I could just take everything back! I wish I could start over! That you never died! That I’d done more... been better. I... don’t know how to be better though.”

[voice falters with last sentence.]

“I... can’t be better. This is who I am.”

Working on my Personal Statement and finding/practicing monologues while watching the RT Extra Life Stream. About 15 - 35 - 50.

so I know this doesnt have to do with Jeanne but as a part of an acting excercise I wanted to do an improv where there was sort of a dramatic story. 

So the plot that I got was "play out someone's lover who is tired of being the second wheel" and I actually just grabbed my mic and rolled with it. Hope you like it and if you have any suggestions for my acting please let me know n3n
