I'm slowly and slowly beginning to develop my character. It's just unfortunate that I don't have much time to do so. I wish I had until mid November. But I have until just after the wedding - and I'm a little stressed. There's so much to do. I suppose I'm just going to have to make sure that I dedicate a couple hours to her every night!
My dear friend Holly lent me a bunch of Audrey Hepburn movies - so I could get the elements down of what her acting is like. And I've been watching YouTube videos, interviews and such. The tough part, I think, is going to get the accent down. I can do it. Everyone in class makes fun of me because of my accents - but this is something that I'd like to practice and perfect, you know? Show em' I can do it. (I AM good at accents, I can just never stick to one ;P).
Besides watching the movies, I'm going to write letters to myself as Audrey. See how she talks. Invent how her speak patterns work. Her handwriting. I decided to go ahead and do the monologue as Audrey. So, I have to get everything down to a T. I think she'll be in her dressing room. Talking about life - her life, and what she wants her future to be like. If she'll have children. If she wants to get back, etc. The monologue is going to be boring - but wise. And that'll be quite different for me, I think, because I usually pick the outrageous characters, you know? The psychos. Or the murderers. Or the melodramatic. I've never chosen someone so put-together as Audrey. So I hope this works.
I'll update you when things come up. (:
