Theatre Class

Okay so nearly every day that i've had theatre class i've been "picked on". On the second day of class it was discovered that i was the youngest male in the class so i had to read from Hamlet. Ever since then the teacher has tried to make me be the person that has to get in front of the class to speak. Well today he was gone, but the TA stepped right in to make this volunteer opportunity involve me. We were talking about actors and how males normally play roles, but females act from emotion. So three of us guys had to read a cutting of a script, and three girls had to read from a script as if we were auditioning for a part. The cutting was from "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll". Some of the stand out lines in this piece are "And the rat-scratch voice inside my head said, 'Fuck that!'", "Any jerk can go to the top of some tower with a scope rifle and start shooting at people. That's shitty fame. I want the good kind." So, how else should one read this lines to get an accurate depiction of anger?.... With a British accent of course! So i presented the piece with a British accent and everyone laughed really hard. In the end our "director" told us all what she thought in terms of casting. For each person she said that she could find some specific roles, one girl she said would work for the OC another for a voice over, but for me she said she would hire me in an instant and would work in many things including comedies and commercials. It was a lot of fun!! And i'm just glad that i got to show off my British accent one more time, especially to say "Fuck that!" British style. I love that class.
