Done deal. I have three card-carrying professional actors to do a table read on the zoom, in spite of my constant "I'm so so sorry to bug you but..." demeanor, which, maybe I'm starting to realize, is itself off-putting. But anyway :)

I'm still trying to cast a narrator, to read my Opus subscript a, for a table read, on the Zoom--30 pages, Sunday 6th @ 7 Pacific. I have two real actors and two writers to fill in all 24 parts! And with the exception of Leopold, they are all women, an idea that i like a lot. This whole thing...

Here's what I learned this morning! Learning is fun-damental!

Would be wonderful, and thanks for the offer and the response. I'm imagining you as Johann Sebastian Bach, and maybe Mr. Rambler as... Maria Barbara? (Maybe with a Monty Pythonesque falsetto--"but i don't like schnitzel!" ) --no, as Prince Leopold. Actually, for the thing this Sunday, I still...

Yea, I thought it was a cool idea, and the group seems pretty cool, so after sitting in on several sessions, I was asked if I had anything ready to be read. I said yes, and am now on the schedule. There's a pool of actors who occasionally, for some reason, get involved, and the other group...

-- just my uneducated .02. Go with your own instincts--whatever seems cool and kind of complete to you. As I said, it's a pretty tight couple of pages as it is, which, to me, is an accomplishment. :)

Clever idea, and mercifully short. I found the explosion of violence a little gratuitous, and would probably stop watching when the pummeling began. But before that it was admirably brisk and pointed. At first I thought they were talking to themselves, (as opposed to, I suppose, rehearsing)...

hey, I recently joined a little group that meets weekly for table reads on the zoom. I'm up, next Sunday, and if anyone wants some voice-acting practice, let me know, either here or PM. It will be around 30 pages, at 7 Pacific, on July 6. Thanks :)

But if it did . . . I'm afraid it wouldn't come back.

Reminds me of the monolith in 2001. What if the mysterious aliens had planted a triangle instead of a rectangle? Would our monkey ancestors, learning how to use a tool, have learned something to do with it other than killing other monkeys? Maybe, i don't know, how to juggle?

Some four years later, looking here and there around IT posts, this: I agree. I don't like this movie either. :)

OK Watched The Brutalist on HBO, and happy to see serious, ambitious, complex, smart, etc. stuff can still get made. Great historical world building, and yes, great acting from Brody (and, years later, still think of The Pianist as one of the most moving and memorable things I've ever seen.)...

Yup. Want to respond to these thoughts, (and to show that i appreciate your taking the time to think them :) ) but, honestly, in kind of hurts my brain to think about such thoughts. Anyway, I'll get back, But, basically, I agree, although my main concern is, not that I will become less...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A bit of word salad that only sounds as if it should mean something. Blade Runner. A movie of the novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, (or some such; Philip K. Dick often had clunky titles) would have...
