Digital Books
Thursday, June 9th, 2011I have a bin full of acting books, none of which are available on the Kindle. The few that are I don’t want to ‘buy again’. The benefit of course is having the book read to me while I sit in the car.
I’m going to start a habit though, where I make time to get to someplace early so I can read these books. I have a BUNCH of plays, acting theory books and reflection I could do, but as I’m learning in BCII, you can only go so far ‘learning’ acting. The rest is doing. That is what I am preparing to do.
I don’t want to sit too long now and type up a post.. I have LOTS to memorize. Part of my new process is to type or scan the script and have the ‘robot voice’ read it to me. When I try recording the script myself, I end up accidentally doing intonations and then run the risk of always repeating them that way.
I have a scene from Angels in America (need to re-read this play), When Harry Met Sally, and then I have to memorize a dramatic monologue for my Tuesday Hollywood Playground class and a comedic monologue for Monday.
It is times like this that I really wish I had instant memorization.. someday… = )
So yeah, digital books are great, unless you have ‘non’ digitalized books that you have to carry around too.
