So, you like acting? How about sharing some of your adventures in the dramatic arts? Tech crew too!

Eventually I'll have to try and find the pictures they took of me as the Tech Crew T-Shirt Ninja.

A-level Drama student here.... not many tales as im relatively new...

but being in a class of girls means 2 things. I'm always cast as either a gay guy. or a seriously fucked up loser of a guy.

I think they hate me

Hah, that's virtually the opposite of what happened with me. My first scene study assignment led to my female partner and I doing a scene from "Lend me a Tenor". We picked one of the tamer scenes, and at the request of the instructor...altered it slightly. By the time we were done, it wasn't so tame, and involved me doing an over the top Sean Connory bit...with interesting results.

It's a good thing I took precautions. Having an attractive girl sit on one's lap in front of an audience can lead to some...interesting results if one isn't careful.

well, the only thing remotely rese,bling that kind of story is the time i had to pretend i wasinlove with a girl who i absolutely despise.

she isn't ugly by any stretch of the word... just a horrible person.

i basically had to completely become my character and forget the fact that i hated her, was quite possibly the hardest scene i have ever had to act

Never shag an actor in a bathroom with a big mirror.

hehe, that would not be a good idea lol


quite a funny thing happened today, a girl in my class was playing around with her folder and managed to clip her finger she went really over the top with it.

our teacher said just 1 thing

"spot the drama student"

another girll also made him crack up when she innocently asked "what do you have to squeeze to make the juice come out?"

course, she was asking about the vcr head cleaner

I've been taking theatre acting courses for at least a year - currently on my second year. It's not above community-theater level, but I still enjoy it.

There's few things funnier than getting to portray a villain with a cool catchphrase, like I did in an improvised short play half a week ago.

portraying an overly camp villian?

During the school musical, I played a regular guy who shows up for no reason in the middle of a song, and a soldier that gets to smack around the principle character.


I had fun.

Gah, and to think that I graduated high school to get away from you Drama People...

drama kicks ass

The catchphrase my villain had (he was never named) was uttered after he strangled his girlfriend and shot the sole witness:

"Such is the nature of loneliness."

*sigh* don't fuck about on the set!

*wrestles prop away from Kuja*

Did I mention that me and two other kids were entirely responsible for creating and putting up a set for our school's one-act play? And we did a damn good job of it, too.

Nope, with our HS, it was pretty much up to the students and MAYBE a couple teachers and janitors to set things up.

Come on, IB let's build the set and mock out the spoiled ones while we do it.

Gave up on being an actor when I realised that making commercials is the only way an unknown can possibly eke out anything resembling a living.
"I love milk...." Ugh.
That, and what the Screen Actors Guild membership entails, you have to be a member to work, you can only be a member if you have worked, a practically insoluble catch-22.
