Today was Thursday, which meant it was our acting day. For the first half of class, we worked on our scenes. I learned that I am over thinking my lines, and I need to let things come more naturally. When I watched Bre do her scene with Lindsay, I realized she did a lot better than me because of the bad habits I've picked up doing community theater. They always told us to pre-plan how we say our lines, which I now know is completely wrong. During the second half of class, Imani and I worked on our scenes together. It was a lot easier to do it with Imani, because she's one of my best friends and we know how to make eachother react when doing the scenes. Hopefully as I progress in the program, I will learn how to do that without being close friends with someone.
