WWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO---HHHHHHOOOOOOO!!!
Elicia and I had our last night of prompting actors last night...promting is just fancy terminology for following the script and giving the actors lines when they forget and call 'line'.....
And last night was their last night... I thought we would never stop....I think we prompted for WWAAAYYYY too long....all that tells the actors is that, "Well, I am too damn lazy too look at my script today and get those lines right, but it's OKAY, they are still going to prompt. "
No more, woo-hoo! Except that we STILL have to follow the script and catch ANY and ALL line errors, everything from a BIG oooppps 'I totally missed the cue and line', to flipping things like, "She did not fly Goody Ann" back to "Goody Ann, she did not fly" .....
And to make matters worse Elicia and I are both VERY picky....we let very few things slide... Anyone who has ever worked with Elicia knows about her paper clips...she uses those to mark places the actors messed up....the only problem with those is that she has to write in her script and since I am anal I do not like the marks left over when you erase them... I use sticky tabs...I was the sticky tab line nazi for Laughing Wild and the only problem with those is that you can't re-use them and you go through them REALLY fast....last night I went through about....40 or 50 and I only prompted ONE scene...So I think when I go to Target I am going to try some paper clips...Elicia got this this neat pen eraser, it's so handy, I love it it makes it faster...I use lead pencils, (and ONLY lead pencils) when I write and it's hard to have an eraser on the end cuz you can't click the end...Again, something minor and stupid that I love....
I am gonna go see if I can find some clothes at Target...I went SEVERAL places yesterday and could not find anything....though I did buy 2 pairs of shoes.. and some nose rings.... and I looked at dog toys...hehe...I my LOVES raggedy toys....but I cant find one ANYWHERE....
I am gonna go....more later...
