 I have an advent calendar here that I completely filled up with different Christmas movies and TV shows on every day until Christmas. I am doing a self-tape so that I don't get rusty because I want to keep practicing acting even right now where I have a lot of conflicts, a lot of people aren't really filming stuff. So I just want to keep it going and it's December 15th, so let's see what's behind door number 15. If it's a scene, I've had either text to speech help me with the other lines or I've recorded the lines of the actual film and then chop them up so that there's space for me to say my lines or I've had friends help me and I'm gonna text my friend Jasmine really quick and then see if she's available to help me with the scene if it's a scene. So wait, before I text her, let's see what's behind door number 15. A Christmas wish and I believe I have it, yeah, have it right here. This is a scene between a husband and a wife and they're having a hard financial time and I didn't watch all of the movie but I do want to watch this one because some of them I'm like, so I'm going to highlight my lines. Oh, I'm going to text Jasmine and see if she's available because this is definitely a scene that I want her to help me with. While I wait for Jasmine to reply, I'm just going to go over the scene a couple of times and see if there's any ideas I have because what I've been doing is to have her look at it and let me know if there's any other direction that she wants me to go with. Do I have anything that I can use as an ornament? Maybe I can create an ornament. I don't want to break mine. I don't want to break any of my ornaments so I'm just going to use this little fuzzy thing so I can actually drop it and it'll be fine. Thank you so much for helping me. Welcome. You have all my scripts now at this point. The one we're going to do is a Christmas wish. It's from 2007. I don't know if it's a Hallmark movie but it's definitely that vibe, like Hallmark movie vibe. So your dad, I'm mom. Naturally. When I read it once and then I can get up and do some takes. Yeah. I'll admit it. It's going to be a leap. It's actually really funny. Okay. I felt a little off just because I was trying to like as I was going I was trying to explore different things and I was like wait should I be more soft now but I was still feeling like more on the angry side so I wasn't quite sure. But I like that because then it's like you know then you get to explore which lines feel like that for you. I'm trying to be supportive of him. Yeah. Yeah. Like where are you picking at him and then where are you kind of like because you're in it together. Like I imagine you know I'm not in a relationship or marry, thank you but that kind of things like because you got you know what the issues are you know and it's not like he hasn't heard this this talk before like it probably comes up every Christmas. Wait sorry can we start over because it doesn't it doesn't make sense that I'm not like angrily telling him can you fix the downstairs toilet because right after he's like already trying to defend himself. Yeah. Yeah. So let me jump to maybe not being so gentle. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to show you guys what I think is the best take and thank you Jasmine for helping me be a reader. Bye. I'll admit it's going to be a lean Christmas. Do you have any work lined up Gary? Well I finished the plumbing job at Larry's yesterday so I'll send up the invoice today. Great. Oh and do you think maybe sometime this year you could fix the downstairs toilet because it still doesn't work. I got a few leads okay something's going to come up something always comes up. And what about if it doesn't you can't pay bills on optimism Gary. That's four days till Christmas. Four days and I can't buy anything and we need everything. What about this honey wait wait till you see it's it's going to be beautiful. Great perfect. I mean what else could go wrong don't worry don't worry it's going to be a great Christmas okay I'm going to get a tree I promise you. From where? The park. Yes. The park. The park. No. No.
