Acting Journal XI: 2/10/15

Today was my first day of "actual" practice with Kendall on our scripted scene. As we had not had an "edit" of our scripted scene, the first thing we did, was to read through it a few times, and discuss what could/could not go. What we decided to try, was "cropping" out parts from the middle of some lines. As such, long lines like "I told you not to expect me any earlier, I had a meeting" became shorter, as in "I told you, I had a meeting" As we went through the play, line by line, I generally got a greater sense of my character, it seemed like he was a bit of a player, who flattered and deceived women to get them to sleep with him. I felt as if, this was NOT his first time cheating on his wife, and that he was bored/leery of continuing this relationship. Don, my acting professor, seemed to agree that my character was a predator.
