Video Updates

Alrighty so I'm going to meet with Ms. Kayla super guitar star soon so she can help me film my next piece.  I'm either going to film the song "I know It's Today" from Shrek or The monologue from "Catholic School Girls".  Any requests?? I'm also working on a dramatic monologue for my acting class from the one act One-Eyed Guru written by Andrew Biss.  I may film that one as well just to get some advice as an audition piece, or if you guys like it enough I could actually put it in my show.  The monologue is about a wife who found another woman's scarf underneath her marital bed.  She knew her husband was cheating, but finally worked up the nerve to confront him about it.  I probably won't use this for the show, but hey, creating this show is meant to strengthen and showcase my abilities, so some extra advice on some additional pieces is always helpful.

Oh and I decided to put this picture up because I haven't put up a picture in a while and most importantly because it is my great grandparents on broadway in the 30s, Doug Leavitt and Ruth Lockwood.  They are such a great inspiration to me and I think it's an adorable picture.  Thanks for the great genes!

  2. First of all, they are sooo cute! I love the picture!! Second, I know that your show revolves around the idea of "a life in a day" so what if (bare with me it’s out there) during the adolescent period there's a stage of confusion or something...this is all leading up to me suggesting you sing "My Unfortunate Erection". :) gurrrr

  3. Bianca!!!! You will all do anything for that song! hahaha! Seriously though, I do like Bianca's idea of the confusion and nerves... Look at Free to Be You and Me. It usually done by kids or adults playing kids but there are some fun monologues and songs. They go through the ages, boys and girls as kids learning the difference between each other, chores, play time, boys wanting dolls and everyone makes fun on him... check it out. You can probably listen to the music online- it's cheesy but fun- definitely CHARACTER driven:) :)

  4. OH- just thought of fun song for an old lady... "Thank God I'm old" from PT Barnum... another show for you to look at for monologues and/or songs- they are all circus acts. Exclude the character of Charity, she's the straight one not into the whole circus thing.
