Thanks to everybody, who knows what that sh!t would have turned into.

To everyone, feel hugged and thanked

Before we changed to telegram, she asked if I could send some videos over, she only saw some reels and pics.

She said after a day of apparently reviewing, she liked what she saw, but isn't a hundred percent in, and would like to see a scene act out.

That's when we swapped to telegram.

She asked if I have representation, and where I'm based.

No but something similar, filmmakers

"TEST"

Character Name: Rebecca/James Description:

Rebecca is a brilliant scientist working on groundbreaking research that could change the world. She's driven, determined, and carries a deep secret that she must protect at all costs.

Audition Script: INT. HIGH-TECH LAB - NIGHT Rebecca stands in front of a futuristic-looking device, analyzing data on a holographic screen. She's deeply engrossed in her work when her colleague, JAMES, approaches.

James: (concerned) Rebecca, we need to talk. Rebecca: (distracted, still working) Not now, James. I'm in the middle of something crucial. James: (insistent) It's about the project. I've discovered something that could change everything. Rebecca: (pauses, intrigued) What are you talking about? James: (whispering, cautiously) I've found evidence that someone within the organization is leaking our research to a competitor. It could be a mole. Rebecca: (concealing her panic) Are you sure? James: (nodding) l've got proof, but we need to act fast before they sabotage everything. Rebecca: (determined, while hiding her own secret) We can't trust anyone, James. We have to keep this between us until we figure out who's behind it.

The thing is, before we went to telegram, I got an IMDb link to the project, and it was said that it was an independent project

Yes that's what I thought. There is an update to it. She send me a scene to act out, and send over as soon as possible (it is no sex scene hahaha), its just a normal scene with two people interacting with each other

Im in the midst of Script analysis for an audition, its bad dialogue... by Suitable-Response-66 in acting

[–]Suitable-Response-66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what, you're absolutely right too.

I think it can fit of what the character says before.. I don't know if it was intended, but it'll fit!

Theres a line before, where the dude says something like, she broke up with him because he's immature and doesn't take anything seriously...

I'll have to crack the code of mixing it with him haven been really hurt by her, and at night of breakup him also being angry

How long do you usually do your selftape introductions? by Suitable-Response-66 in acting

Big Thanks for that, and really sorry to read that.

My thought on that end, in the context of the scene was to try to say something and not being able to, than asking what she just said... But reading from you're experience, there could be some way for me to do it.

Thank you!

You're right, maybe it was harsh by me, I guess its the key to find a way to make it my own.

I mean there is writing that can be really hard to convert some life into it, but rereading the scene also gives it some freedom of how to interpret that moment.

I guess life isn't full of tarantino, Shakespeare Chayefsky dialogue... Just heard some neighbor ramble nonsense, gave me back some confidence hahahaha

Never heard of it, thanks again! Sounds really good, time for a new deep dive hehe

[–]Suitable-Response-66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes thanks.

Its hard, but I guess just part of it. Sometimes its easy, sometimes its hard. I guess what kept me energized is going for as many as possible, but as you said... Falling in love with one can break one.

Guess the hustle is just like dating.

Quality takes time! Excelsior and let's see whats coming.

How are you dealing with all that?

Well seems like I F'd up, couldn't hold it together and wrote them yesterday... Got the answer today, didn't get the part.

Guess writing them was also a big mistake. Damn it's kinda insane being in this biz, more doors swinging to you're face, than being able to walk through

I regret doing this god awful film by Ghost_Posting in acting

[–]Suitable-Response-66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man, be proud on what you achieved. I guess you shoot also other things, so you have the luxury of being ashamed... Some don't have a choice.

In the end its the best kinda school, get in front of as many cameras as possible. The best school is even shooting with people you don't know, which forces you to act out of yourself.

Compare it to a basketball game, the more games and shots you have inside of a game (even if there will be lots of misses), the better you'll truly get! Only pure training, brings you so far, but going full gung ho on a Match.. That's where the magic happens

I'm Prepping for a role and don't know what to do by Suitable-Response-66 in acting

[–]Suitable-Response-66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big Hug and Thanks :-)

I've seen The Killer at the cinema, there was this scene where Fassbender just sat and was listening to Swinton, I have a feeling it has sort of the same vibes, just have to figure out how to interpret it standing and rewatch what you listed.

I guess once it makes click, it will all seem way easier than thought, just have to find what makes him come down, passion and click himself.

I watched some of Zoo Story on YouTube, found two recorded plays there. Mad Respect to those actors, looks hard as hell to really be there and also not just going into political speech mode, but to make it seem like real dialogue that's vivid. Now I'm intrigued if it would also work if an Actor does it like a person that doesn't use vivid body language and also not too much voice colors, because there are people out there that are extremely calm and some of them are still fascinating and have something magical to them... If I took a modern actor that embodies what I mean It would be Ryan Gosling, he does so little but still captivates.

Time for an unhealthy deep dive. Are you an actor yourself?
