I do agree with your mom that Desdemona might be somewhat contrived - however, I think it is depends also on how it is presented. I feel much weirder reading the monologue on the page than performing it. It is odd saying those things and feel weird expressing "shapes, sizes, smells, smooth skin..." - but the sick fact is that those words drew me to them. And my intuition -whether it be finely tuned at the moment is smiling at this prostitute.
The James Joyce thing sounds awesome - I know this is weird, but if your mom still has that paper I would love to read it - you know me. If not its totally cool - but I am going to get in that book - I wikepediaed it!
I did the monologue for my mom - and she said she really like it. fuck. that was scary and AWKWARD.
I am glad I did it - she said that it did not come off as weird - thank god.
Even if it is weird though, I hope it sticks with the auditioners - so I can be like yes remember me?
So, away I am with my intuition.
I enjoyed the other voice monologues - where are they from? Where did you find them? I need a back up!
Also, after my auditions - I am going to spend the next year finding monologues that I like and just memorize them so I have a bunch literally hidden within me.
Nish and Jow are coming over for dinner.
I'm excited.
I'm a bit exhausted of fretting over my auditions -
Over my confidence and lack of confidence -
Over what will happen?
Over what the fuck?
Over omg I am living with my mom!
Over - It is ok Ajna.
Steven Spielberg applied to USC three times and they never accepted him.
Daniel and Josh didn't get into architecture their first year.
I know these people have nothing to do with my -
Yet for some reason it calms me to know that they kept going for it -
Regardless what the Grid might have been telling them.
ugh. i just texted you. i wrote a beautiful long indulgent comment and lost it all.
ReplyDelete1.i said what you said about the monologue. i can see you pulling it off and so go for it. you are good at being a chameleon or searing yourself in people's memories. So brand their asses like cows darling. haha.
2.so no, my mom doesn't have the paper.
3.those monologues are real, from this book on voice-dialogue...it's sort of like therapy, but it's a way that people's sub-personalities can come up and they can recognize the different aspects to their personalities (in a controlled environment) like 'controller' or 'pleaser' or 'mother' or whatever.
4.and you got it girl. you're tackling something that puts up wall after wall after wall, and then after you get yourself over all those walls, someone tears apart all those walls you just got passed you and starts hurling their bricks at you from behind. but just know that there will be a point when the timing is so so so so right. the stars will align, right under your feet.!
