Genre #3 (Ingredients)

Are you hungry to know what it takes to make a good actor or actress? Well, hopefully I can help you out.

A good actor contains:

1 cup of enjoyment -because you should always enjoy what you do (for me, it's being on stage)


3 teaspoons courage -for some people, it takes a lot of courage just to walk onto the stage, much less sing a song or recite a dialouge, so courage is a MUST!


2 cups of happiness- when you are happy on stage, it reflects upon the audience


2 tablespoons projection- one thing that no audience member likes is a quiet voice on stage where NOBODY can here you.


1 cup of double-lifeness- what does the mean? don't be the average you, try to put yourself in your characters shoes. YOU ARE YOUR CHARACTER!


1/4 cup of stage presence- does the audience want to look up and see you? Do you really want to be there?


1 tablespoon of almost blindness- The lights might seem really bright and shiny when you first get on stage, you'll get used to them. Whatever you do, don't look directly in them.


3 cups of "face"- make sure that you keep a face, if it is a sad scene, don't look bored, look sad, that goes for if it is a romantic scene, a happy scene, a scary scene, just keep face.

1 teaspoon of reward- make sure that you constantly tell yourself how proud you are of yourself for doing this.

Sprinkle on some good dance moves and you are set.

Put ingredients in a blender. Blend for about a minute, or as long as it takes to get a puree.

You can bake this at 350 and get a nice casserole or dip chips in it like salsa.

ENJOY!
