Today was good. Acting from 9-11, more repetition. Found out we will get our scene assignments by the end of the week. I hope it's something good.
Voice & Speech from 11-1. We did the relaxation exercise and learned some new vocal warm-ups. Then we recited our tongue twister and she stopped to correct things. Later we learned about the anatomy of our vocal instrument (mouth, throat, etc) and all the different vowel sounds and where they are made in our mouth. Yep, did that in linguistics in college too, but I had forgotten it mostly. One vowel sound finally taught us all how to pronounce one girl's name who is from Portugal.
Afterwards we all got lunch and met in Madison Square Park again. I got a ♪ five dollar foot-long ♪ from Subway so I could have lunch for tomorrow too. In the park we sat in a circle in the grass like dirty hippies.
Oh wait, the real dirty hippies were across the park meditating, see?
Yeah they sat like that for at least 30 minutes. After lunch I headed home and wasted time on the internet for a while. Then I went trekking off to a different branch of the New York Public Library, Morningside Heights. I liked it and thought it was a little nicer than the Riverside branch. It is located right by Columbia University on the UWS.
Well they got 2 F's for not having either book I wanted, despite their online catalogue stating that they had copies. But they got a big fat A for letting me print 10 copies of my resume for free! That means job hunt for the rest of the week. (Prepares for rejection...)
Back home it was spaghetti again (yay!) and I finally met some girls in my residence. One is from Alpharetta, Georgia, and is looking to stay in NYC permanently. The other girl was from Alabama and is here for a summer theatre session at Circle in the Square theatre school (so jealous...I wanted to go there, but they wanted letters of rec and I didn't really have any). Turns out we all live on the same floor and we talked about how crazy Teresa was. Teresa is a small little old Spanish lady who lives on the 7th floor and lectures everyone about anything that pops into her head. She has lived here for 19 years and she complains about the food all the time, but she is always in the cafeteria eating it. Last week she lectured me because I was sitting indian style in the cafeteria (minding my own business, reading a book)...but apparently I was lacking the knowledge that we were in a hotel and nothing is wrong with my legs. Good to know.
Oh my hof I hate this stupid blog it won't let me start a new paragraph ar
Well, I guess it didn't turn out so short after all! Tomorrow is acting again followed by vocal production. Tonight I have been trying to familiarize myself with my song. I like it! The party's over, da da da...
Sounds like youre having a lot of fun. Teresa sounds a little wacky. So glad you are making friends! Your diet may not be sufficient, hence the exhausted part. Try to add some protein. Love you!
ReplyDeleteGotta love those dirty hippies!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the fresh fruit and veggies! I think you may be a better writer than you realize... perhaps a bit of creative non-fiction is in the works here?
