I'm muhc the same way when it comes to neatness! I am always straightening out every little things that's out of place until it is prefect.
I know what you mean - and during Jim's memorial, when Scooter was doing the first verse of "Just One Person," at one point Richard reached up and adjusted something on Scooter's head.Ok, you guys are going to think I'm crazy but, lol, I was noticing something the other day. In the Of Muppets and Men clip and another clip, you can see Richard sort of randomly picking at the Scooter puppet to make sure there are no random threads sticking out. Lol, the only reason I noticed is because it reminded me of something I would do. I sometimes get slightly annoyed or preoccupied if something is slightly out of place, like a sweater thread or shoe lace (though I'm not especially neat).
I guess it's one of those OCD things. I don't suppose anyone else knows what I'm talking about, lol.
I have to pay attention to that the next time I watch. But I was watching this footage of an upcomig episode of sesame street when that Kevin Clash was direction and before filing started, he was going afoung te set and ever so slightly ajustin the carma and Elmo's bicycle and another pupets head, lol! I wonder where he might have got that sense of over perfection from? It's almost like it's instinct or something.I know what you mean - and during Jim's memorial, when Scooter was doing the first verse of "Just One Person," at one point Richard reached up and adjusted something on Scooter's head.
Lol, that's a cute story, and yeah that sense of perfection does ring a bell!I have to pay attention to that the next time I watch.

Thank you and glad they all liked you there!Lol, that's a cute story, and yeah that sense of perfection does ring a bell!
I was told by my acting teacher the other day that I have a spot on sense of humor and quirky personality. I have to tell you that felt good!
...and I think they liked me!
Imporve is not my strong point either and I think I would freeze up if I hd to do something like that. But I think it's great that you did it and that you even got some laughs out of it too! And it's true that you do have to find out and work on the things that do and don't work while developing a character.Thanks, yeah it's been really good. It's a lot of improv which isn't my strong point. I wanted to get better at taking chances and being spontaneous. If you don't volunteer for the activities in the class, you pretty much don't get to do anything.
The other day the activity was doing 8 characters in 1 minute! It wasn't required and to be honest, my first thought was, "No way!" Lol, I was terrified of the idea. I was sure my mind would go blank and I'd end up embarrassing myself. For awhile as other people went up, I was content to just sit and watch, satisfied that I didn't have to get up there.
But after a few minutes I started thinking of Richard and how I wanted to be as good as he was at being spontaneous and developing memorable characters. I started feeling guilty, lol, so I finally stood up, sighed, "Oh ok..." And to my amazement I managed to do all 8 characters, and get a bunch of laughs! Not everything was a success, but that's what developing characters is all about.
So I'm very grateful for the divine encouragement.
Well I've always been kinda shy, but enjoyed performing for my family or friends when I felt at ease, so I think my parents thought acting would be a good outlet. I still get nervous everytime, but I know that will only sabotage me. And when I please an audience, it's such a wonderful feeling. If you get the chance, I'd definitely recommend. It can be fun but also helpful with self confidence.You know? I've aways wanted to take acting classes but I've just never been brave enough to do it...
It's an awesome mostly sit-down job, with only minimal attention needed, and it pays $8 per hour. No benefits, but he's working on it. ("he" meaning my manager)]
Good luck with getting benefits! I've had jobs with and without them, and having them is definitely better!
