A Brand-New Me!
A Brand-New Me!
“#17 CHAPTER 18 Mr. Rock and I got busy preparing for the audition. We met every day after school in the music room, and this time, there was no instrument cleaning involved. He would throw out subjects, and I would make up monologues. One day he told me to be a bottle of mustard being squirted on a hot dog. Another day he told me to be a baby kangaroo that fell out of his mom’s pouch. He encouraged me to let my mind be free and to say whatever came to me.
If I made a mistake or couldn’t think o...f anything, I felt embarrassed, but he explained that if you stumble, you have to stand right back up and keep moving forward. He said that one of the secrets of good acting is trial and error, which means that you only learn by making mistakes. Boy, try telling that to Ms. Adolf. To her, making a mistake is like the end of the world. She’s got that red pencil sharpened and ready to write the word FAIL at the drop of a hat.
We practiced every day that week, and by the time Friday came, I had told about a thousand stories.MoreLess
