How to Be a Really Famous Actor (And Other Acting Tips), Friday, Period 1

"I like irony," Lucas said to start the class. "So I'm going to keep this short. Dramatic monologues are a great way of conning academies into giving you awards. Really nail a good monologue and nobody will remember anything you messed up in a role."

"So what you're going to do this week is just get up and talk about whatever teenage drama you're going through right now. You can make crap up if you don't want to give your classmates any ammo, but it better be good. And it better be dramatic. Bonus points for crying."

"Oh, and try not to step on the pot on the floor when you come up," Lucas said, pointing out the broken potted plant on the ground. He couldn't remember how it got there. He didn't even remember having a plant in the room in the first place. Odd.

All 45 seconds of it!

Nathan was glad the lecture was short today because his attention span was all over the fucking place. Outwardly, he looked about as calm as he ever did even while he was pissed off and upset internally. He just wasn't letting any of that escape.

Just talk for a while. DRAMATICALLY!

"I hate Parents Weekend," Kate started, with a shrug of her shoulder. "Some of you can probably guess why. Some of you haven't been here long enough to know what to expect, what to worry about, just how badly stuff can go wrong. But maybe you'll figure it out soon. Maybe someone will tell your brother that aliens exist. Maybe your crazy mom will embarrass the fuck out of you. Maybe you'll get poorly veiled threats from someone else's guest. Or maybe, maybe all your friends have decided to hate the person you're seeing."

Maybe that was an exaggeration, 'all her friends', but then Kate honestly did not have too many friends. And this was supposed to be dramatic, right?

She shrugged again. There was someone in this class she was definitely not looking at, though that was probably only obvious to him. "Maybe my friends will act like dicks at the guy I'm seeing. Maybe they won't give a shit about what consequences their actions might have on me and my happiness. I don't know, maybe I'll be totally single again after this weekend. Or maybe I won't have any friends. I don't know. We'll have to see." She crossed her arms over her chest. "But I do know one thing, and that one thing is this: come Monday, I will still hate Parents Weekend. Only the reasons vary."

"I'm not really sure how I feel about graduation." Robin said. "On the one hand, it's really exciting to get to live in New York. And to get to study my craft and maybe not be the only Muppet around.

"That's been really hard sometimes. Even when people don't scream when they see me, or decide I'm a hallucination. There's still that moment disbelief in their eyes. I don't get that much on my Earth. Though there's still the whole size thing. But maybe I'll meet some Muppets just as small as I am."

He gave a pensive sigh. "But, Fandom's been my home for four years. I've had so much fun here, made so many wonderful friends."

Who I have nothing clever to say about today!

Ramona was desperately hurt by how the narrative had nothing interesting to say about her today, but she was here all the same.

Who is making you talk to the class up above!

Sorry for the quick/lame lecture. I'm still fluish.

I DID NOTHING!
