Ten Questions

I think my family might be the only ones who read this blog... HELLO FAMILY! That doesn't make me totally pathetic, does it? Oh well. Too late.

Anyway, in preparation for my final audition for Guildhall, I've done my ten questions for all three of my monologues. It's one of those that you do, and then you just hope it seeps into your performance (as Alan Cumming said in a recent interview on Fresh Air, "I'm a big fan of seepage"). I'm not even sure if anyone other than me would know that I've done this work, but it's methodical and thorough and makes me feel prepared. Maybe that's why it's useful, more than anything.

I spent a very long time on these ten questions, so I thought I'd post an example; this is for my monologue from Summer and Smoke, the character of Alma. As a precursor, I would like to say that these are written in a kind of stream of consciousness style, and I don't really pay much attention to grammar or structure. I read the play, take notes, and then sit down and write.

Just thought it might be interesting to someone, and if not, it at least is a record for my sake. Click read more if, as the name suggests, you would like to read more.
