10/6/11 Journal

Today was Thursday, which meant it was our acting day. We spent the first half of class discussing last night's Swimming in the Shallows rehersal that we sat in on. While I was watching the rehersal it almost felt like I was watching real people's lives. The acting was great and I hope that I can act that truthfull as I learn more. We discussed the differences between comparison and metaphor, which we related to the shark in the play. During the second half of the class, I worked on my open scene with Zari. She taught me that when memorizing a script, dont act it out fully when your by yourself. It will mess up the chemistry you have with the other person because you will already have a set way of how your saying lines and it wont always make sence with how the other person talks. From now on I will read in a monotone voice when memorizing scripts.
