The Thought of Acting:
You can't Act! You think you can Act! Everyone thinks they can Act! Don’t you! You’re invited to audition. (Read Dirt’s Audition)your chances of scoring a part in a performance increases once you have (mastered, ha) an understanding to the craft of Acting! Practice gaining an instinctive reflex from diction, and the psychology behind it. (Another words, become what the script/part calls for). Applying fine abnormal behavior beyond your normal instinctive behavior is rare, it must be learned, and that takes a long time, and is never mastered.

So! You still think you can Act! What if I was to say; laugh!
What if I was to say to you; Na, that's not your real laugh! That’s not the way YOU should be laughing!
Vision the images created from reading the diction in the script! Do you immediately feel emotion! Acting demands mental sincerity. Have you acquired emotions from words on paper that you must express on stage? How are you going to acquire another dimension from your personality until you learn to see and feel emotion from what's not real. Interesting right, remember, its all make-believe, except, instinctive behavior-emotions. You read! Vision! And you rehearse, hopefully with the right amount of emotion to win. Okay! You see pretty? You feel the emotions related to and for “pretty,” this does not mean you know how to (Act) the emotions for pretty, right! You must feel the emotions and deliver the expression, (ha, not easy). You see "handsome," you feel emotions, have you learned to Act and express emotions related to handsome, (can you deliver the expression). You still think you can Act? Not yet! Do you see the images your brain is trying to develop? Probably only a dusting, it’s unclear! Give it time, remember the dream! Do you remember reading; Nightmare, a vision created in your unconscious, a feeling that happens within. You see! You feel! Have fun!
Mentally / physically to sense the emotions necessary to Act in comedy, mystery/drama/suspense; is remote, you have to be born with the mental / physical capability to naturally transfer behavior to a physical emotion on demand.
One actor / entertainer who does it best, better than anyone - the connection and /or transfer of a vision, emotions to expression are superb, his name; Robin Williams.
“Instinct," Instinctively I know to save for another time.
“The Mystery of Laughter”
The mystery of laughter, perhaps misunderstood! I was born to giggle, and you were too! So giggle! Born to love to laugh, a great feeling, a great sound! Next time you laugh, listen to it, hear the sound of your own voice, some might like the sound of their laugh, others might not. So they try and change it! Many laughs are phony laughs. You can change the sound of your Laughs! But wait, not so fast! The best laugh is a soft, easy giggle - laugh, sounds a-bit strange, not really! A smooth sound, its natural, never force a laugh, it sounds awful. A soft, giggle- laugh is like a soft gentle tickle, a gesture of friendship and love; a soft gentle tickle should never be done with any force of finger. Laughing Au-natural increases the attractiveness of your face; your eyes enlighten white and wide, your cheeks post rosy red, your lips smooth from smile, and your ears perk up, ha! Your body feels excited (that's enough). Look in the mirror the next time you laugh. You’ll like what you see, and how you feel. You can laugh lying down, you can laugh standing up, laugh walking around, and laugh running around, laugh going up- hill and laugh coming down- hill, you can laugh just about anywhere, at any time, just be true to yourself and your Au-natural laugh. When you laugh, people around you laugh, you can make a whole group of people laugh just by laughing. It’s been done with singing for centuries, hasn't it! Sing and others will also sing! Others will sing and whistle. It’s been done with dancing for centuries, hasn't it! Laugh Sing, Whistle and Dance. I told you!
Laugh-Hello! People of the world are hearing distant echoes of laughter, clueless to laugh- laughs origin or whereabouts. They hear the echoes from, “Laugh- Hello.” (Read my book called, Laugh-Hello). It’s a soft sounding laugh coming down, coming down from on top of the world, all over the world. Soon you will hear the laughter I hear. It’s a mystery that’s unclear! You can talk, walk and run, but laughing?
Comic Movies! Come, let’s have some fun.
Go ahead; pick a movie, any movie, your favorite movie! You told me you would share with me your favorite movie of all-time; this will be fun, fun for you, and for me. Go; pick a-flick, pick away- current flick, or pick-a-flick from yesteryear. Movies dated from years gone by, are usually very good movies. Once upon-a- time, we've spoke about the multiple(s) of unique screen personalities; enchanting characteristics of bodies and faces; (good, bad, scruffy, ugly, pretty, lovers, saints and priests) were damn good.
Egos have no known home here!
I’m waiting, Go ahead! Pick your favorite, you told me you would pick a movie and tell me why it’s your best, and tell me about the magic in the movie. Be careful, this is the movie you rave about all the time. I’ll agree with your choice, but still I’ll question its intestines to see if it stands up to a BEST SELECTION. Together we will make it a better movie. We will dress the pieces up by slowing things down a-bit. “Gone with the wind,” famous, I’ll agree, could it have been done any better? Movies from once upon- a- time stand the test of time because they had a specific place in history to be made, and made first with the viewer in mind, deliberately for future generations to enjoy. Perhaps we were thought about than, and didn't know it! We spoke about this earlier; movies than were made not for the maker’s immediate glory to exploit their ego. They were made because they literally had to be made for the base creation of an industry, their time and place in history, and for the future well- being of the industry. Also recent inventions / discoveries were utilized; today many may seem ancient, but, non-the- less needed to be utilized in the industry, (lighting, craftsmanship, machinery, etc.) I spoke about spoiled human behavior and the ill effects it has on creating lasting entertainment. Use what is yours to create the vision. Not someone else’s.
OK! Go ahead; pick your favorite movie of all-time. Ill show there's no magic in movies! The magic is created from hard work, and faces, and talent that posses the instinctive nature to the part. The good movies we can leave alone; the ones that poop usually pooped not because the story was poop, but because of neglect, and some principles reluctance to shelf their smelly ego.
You’re thinking what movie should I choose? What would I have done differently!
I know you haven’t selected your all-time favorite, yet. You’re searching! That’s good!
In the, “Future of Entertainment,” I spoke about how to create something unique, unique to only your imagination. That’s the magic! It is at the time of conception, when you smile; when only you know you have something special.
If a movie is based on actual events, inject emotion, behavior that occurred true to the event. Tell the whole story. A book based on actual events is conclusive, READ, “the future of entertainment.” If your story is fictitious, have fun!
Movie Comics
Myriad of Faces was screened years ago; still we view more faces today! but not as many as before; many less than years ago; which actually was not so-long ago; Today a few faces are just; A Few! Faces! the body and faces of those that once played, they played, sung and danced; and the body and faces of those that came after, they play(ed), they play- less for plenty more, today! A few sing now! Than, many sang and danced; today some dance; today not a chance to match Astaire; than kissing was fun; today they seem to extreme, not knowing how it’s done.
Faces, way- back were matched to play parts precise to the play. You asked who could have played, the part of; Jack Torrance better than Jack. Not you or I. Who could have played the part of, Dr Hannibal Lecter better than Mr. Hopkins! Not you or I. than there’s Ms. Close, Mr. Robin Williams, and Deniro, last but not least, someone named Pacino. If I was to include my-list of names from years ago?

This is the widely unknown tale of a mysterious creature. No person has
ever revealed their encounter with this subject before; until now. If
you are ever miraculously, and graciously greeted by this gentleman,
lucky you. For the time being, you and I will be happy to name this
fellow, “Laugh-Hello.”
