Audition: Student Film; Other: Readings

This morning, I went to Cedering Fox's house to help in the workshopping/assembling of love letters for a Word Theatre production. It was great fun. The letters range from flowery French poetry to email rants. The earlier letters (mid-20th Century and before) stand in sharp contrast to the more modern letters/emails in terms of language use. I wonder how much of our vocabulary is slowly (or quickly) eroding to be lost to us forever at some distant point in time.

Immediately following that session in Santa Monica, I trekked all the way up and East to Pasadena for the student film audition. Honestly, I hadn't done much work on the sides for that beforehand. I took some time before I went into the room to let the commute go and jot down some notes for the scene. After the first part, they asked me to read another role which I hadn't looked at beyond reading the script. So, I took a few more minutes out in the hall with that one. The film looks to be a pretty normal, slice-of-life look at the relationship between two brothers and their dad.
