You Know You're an Actor When....

You are having an extreme emotional upheaval about something important in your life and a little voice in your head says...."I need to remember this for when I have to play it".


Keep it going...:)

when your teacher tells you to go to the right side of the classroom and you automatically, by instinct, go to your right...stage directions! LOL!! (Then of course you look like an idiot because everyone else is on the correct side of the room, and you're not...)

"you learn to balance the tray of drinks so that none spill."

That made me laugh out loud.

"Goodness is rewarded. Hope is guaranteed. Laughter builds strong bones. Right will intercede. Things you've said I often find I need, indeed. I see the world through your eyes. What's black and white is colorized. The knowledge you most dearly prized I'm eager to employ. You said that life has infinite joys."

Me during 'little women' with the Laurie understudy!!

papa that's royal! So am I going to be the only one to get gushy?
when...you leave the stage door and crowd follows you for an autograph.
when... people stare at you at a restaurant and your zipper is up and there's no food on your face.
when...your Equity check is larger than your dues.
when...your agent calls in your behalf and you can stop disguising your own voice.
when.. people stand to applaud and not to exit
when... you are hired without an official audition (now that's a ways off for many)

and most importantly...

you know you're an actor when... you can bring people to tears or laughter and not confuse the two.

...you sing along to a musical as one character and only EVER sing the lines of that one character...aka Mark in 'Rent' or even Princeton AND Rod in 'Avenue Q'.

you can hear the intro (or even first cord) of a showtune, know the show, composer and sing just about every lyric in it!

When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

You get WAAAAY more into Halloween than any of your friends, but you're in it more for the costumes than the candy. Also, you spend lots of time and money on the perfect Momma Rose costume, even though no one will know who you're dressing as anyway.

I do things like that all the time. I add show references to EVERYTHING. lol

Recently, in my English class, we had to write a paper about the ends justifies the means and I used Marian from WIW.
