 I have a day job. For most of today, I have to work and then after work I can do today's self-tape practice. If you don't know, in the month of December, I'm not actively working right now. I just wanted to tell you what I'm doing all day. But in the month of December, since historically I get almost no auditions or gigs because it is quite slow, I'm doing a self-tape every day, grabbing it out every day and then doing the scene or monologue, but only preparing for 15 minutes so that I actually do this every day. But for now, I do actually need to get back to work. I really need to finish finding all of my scripts for the self-tape every day until Christmas. Who thought of this? Oh my God, my eye is twitching. I have been scrolling through Christmas movies on and off all day and I have one, two, I have seven more to do. I don't know if I can do these tonight. I have to, I have to because what if whatever's in door number five is a scene I don't even have selected yet, then I would have to look for it. I'm gonna set a timer for one hour and I'm gonna try and find these seven remaining scripts in this hour. I do like to set timers for things and when I am procrastinating on something or something's taking me too long or I don't wanna do something, I will set a timer and then I'll be like, I have to finish during this timeframe. And even if I don't finish it, at least I worked on it at least for that long. I'm almost done typing out one of the scenes and from Christmas inheritance, I need five more scripts after this one, but it's dinner time and I'm going to pause because I've literally been working all day since I woke up. I'm gonna go have dinner and then I'm gonna come back. Open door number five and hope that I have it printed. If not, I'm gonna use my phone again. Oh, I'm such a mess. Tomorrow, I promise you tomorrow I will not film my scene unless I have all of the scripts printed. Okay, I need to go have dinner. I'm back. This is really getting so difficult as the days go on just because I don't have all of my scripts ready. Let's see what's behind door number five. Holiday engagement. Do I have this one? I don't remember this one, so I need to see if I even have it, holiday engagement. I do have it, I just don't have it printed out. This is one of the films that I got a scene from today and it's this long. I might be able to memorize it just from playing around with it, not like trying to memorize. I think she got, at the beginning, she got broken up with and then she like hired an actor to play her fiance and then fell in love with a fiance and broke up with her fiance even though her fiance broke up with her. Anyway, let's set a 15 minute timer. I wrote down a few notes about the scene. Her scenario that I'm giving her is that she knew all along that her ex-fiancé just was not the one because they were not compatible and ever since she met this guy, she like knows that he's the one because it feels like she's known him forever. She's coming to tell David, the guy that she's talking to that she wants to be with him but she's a little worried that he might say no but at the same time, she's like so sure that it's gonna be him. So that's what I'm gonna play with. Time's up and now I'm going to record the lines of the other character because it is a movie that is available for me and what I've been doing when I don't have a reader is recording the lines. I really want to have like actual people helping me with this but like today it's almost nine p.m. and so last minute. So one of these days, I'm gonna get it together. One of these days. It's that time. For this one I am only going the angle of like she's in love with him and what I had already explained before. I am almost tempted to do something that doesn't even make sense with these lines. You know, like if you were never in an acting class and the director or the instructor were ever to just tell you like okay, now pretend that you are ordering food at a restaurant with this scene. Maybe I'll do it to mess around and have a little bit of fun with it because I'm not really like feeling this scene. I really need to get into it. Okay, let's do take two. Not a mistake. Oh my God, I feel like it's bad. I don't know. I'm just like not really into it. Let's do, let's just do at least one more take. Take three. Okay, let's, this is the actual last one. Take five. Okay, what should I do? Just for a fun one. So there's something different that's not just that. How about I'm telling Santa what I want for Christmas but I've been bad. So I'm scared. A mistake. How is that? Was that weird? That was probably weird. Oh my gosh. Okay, anyway, here are the two best takes that I did of each one. One of them, the second take was the only one I did of that kind. I'll see you tomorrow. Jason seems like a total jerk. I know it's not my place to say that but my love is blind, right? Yeah, it was. I'm sure it's gonna be a great wedding. Yeah, I'm sure it would be but I'm missing one really important piece. A groom. I don't have a groom. Jason. Nope. He was a big mistake. He's a total jerk. You were right. A huge, huge mistake. Huge mistake. Okay. What does that make me? Not a mistake. Jason seems like a total jerk. I know it's not my place to say that but my love is blind, right? Yeah, it was. I'm glad you're happy. I'm sure it's gonna be a great wedding. Well, it would be but I'm missing one really important piece. A groom. I don't have a groom. Jason. No, no, no. You were right. A total jerk. He was a big mistake. Huge mistake. What does that make me? Not a mistake.
