Toe Dance

Greetings.

Well, today (October 15th) we needed to turn in our IPA for the 'sexy monologue' piece I've been working on for a while. We were supposed to do a 'very warm' read of it with feeling. :D

Oh, by the way:

Cold Reading: a term used by actors, in theatre and film alike, to describe reading aloud from material they have not rehearsed, or studied previously at all.

Hence my term, warm reading. ;)

I thought I did well, except, well... that darn actors tick again. That DARNED YIP!! >_<

It moved all the way down to my toes, which Sally says were doing a little dance. :-/

Anyway, I was forced to attack the verbal beast from a cabaret approach [aka pretend to be working a cabaret whilst reading from the page]. It felt awkward for me because I wanted to get rid of the paper. But Sally assured me that being able to read from notes/paper while connecting with and moving through an audience was a useful skill to have. Especailly when speaking at conferences, or events. Her suggestion was notecards.

And darn it, wouldn't you know I had notecards I could've used!! >_<


Oh, well. There's always next time.

Ciao!! XD
