methinks

Actors Studio

Last year David selected a short play for our Advanced Class, not to perform it but to build confidence and have some fun. I'd say we achieved both those aims.

I had the bright idea to video the "rehearsals" thinking I'd be able to eek out some kind of nostalgic montage at some point. What I didn't realize at the time is that a camcorder mic three yards away from the subject (who is in a concrete classroom with tile floor)...well, it didn't pick up much discernible speech. At least to the untrained ear. If you speak excellent Chinglish you'd probably be able to make out a lot, but still not enough to merit a nostalgic montage.

What we have here instead are two short clips where the intensity is high enough to register on the mic...and in our hearts.
