Isa1116 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 How do people do it? I have a drama project coming up and I wrote a script. I'm trying to practice it and it's so hard to say things without feeling weird about it... Anyone know how to just stop dying inside? Even for just a bit?? The script (I act as Kris): Kris (Isa) throws door open and starts to walk passed Ariel. Ariel: "Oh my God, Kris! What happened!? You look terrible!" Kris: "I'm fine, Ariel. It's nothing." Ariel: "No dude, tell me what happened. You look like hell." Kris: "Yea, I was just there." Ariel: "Oookkkay?...well, you were with Charlie right? Where is she? Kris: "I don't know or care about where that jerk is. Ariel: Woah! That’s your older sister you're talking about! Kris: Well maybe she shouldn’t have left me in a grocery store on black Friday! Ariel: She- wait what? Kris: She left to do something that was probably unimportant and when I tried to get apple juice someone gave me an uppercut! I tried to fight back but I ended up running. I also walked by the TVs and got takled! Then some brat took my wallet and I lost all my money! Charlie starts to open door Ariel: Uh-oh! She's back! Kris rolls their eyes Charlie: *waves behind her* bye guys! *walks in with arms out* Wazzzaappppp!- Oh damn Kris! What happened? Kris: You happened! Scratch that, you didn't happen! Charlie: huh? Kris: You left me at the store! To hang with your friends it seems. Charlie: Oh yea! Sorry about that! *laughs* Kris: Charlie! Don't laugh, this isn't funny! I needed help! Charlie: Then why didn't you call me? Kris: I did! You didn't answer! Charlie: You did? *takes out phone and scrolls through missed calls* Oh! You did. Um... My phone was on silent... Kris: Of course it was... Charlie: Oh well:)! You look fineeeee Kris YEAH SURE! Multiple of my fingers are dislocated and I'm pretty sure that my left unla is broken but I'm. Just. Fineeee. Charlie: Um.... Kris: On top of THAT I lost my wallet! Charlie: Then just work more or something. Kris: I work like 90 hours a week! Okay, less than that. But still! And you have no right to say that when you're an unemployed idiot! Charlie: *gasp!* I'm your older sister! How dare you disrespect me like that! Kris: *scoffs* Yea you're older but you don't act like it. Charlie pushes Kris Charlie: Shut your mouth! Maybe it's a good thing that I left you in the grocery store! I wish you never made it out! Kris is wide eyed then slaps Charlie and leaves the stage. Ariel: Damn, that was crazy. Charlie: *stares at floor* Yeaaaaa End scene I know it's not that good lol and if I should change anything lmk pls. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueEvergreen Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 When I'm acting, I usually try to just replace my thoughts with that of the character, because if the character doesn't think it's awkward, then I wont 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
