I traiheir lines for nearly an hour. The first act isn't too difficult. And the ag value lies in the female roles. These are the winners in this first act.

  -Oh, Mom! I have a bunch of things to buy," she said softly, almost as if she were speaking to her father years ago, also imitating some little kids she had seen at certain moments.

  Gibbs: Strawberry milkshakes, that's what you spend it on.

  Gee: I 't figure out how Rebecca have so much money. She has more than a dolr.

  She pohe incapacity of a spoiled child to see beyond the truth.

  She tried to portray a good image, but nothing seemed to vince her. After all, a child is the epitome of innoce. That's pure innoce! How she make her dialogues sound childlike when delivering the lines? Is it a good idea to overaphasize it, or should she rely on the freshness of a good imitation?

  Gee: Excuse me, Mrs. Forrest.

  She spoke with a voice of apology, trying to capture the nervousness and apology that children often give to their elders, although without an actual performa was difficult for her to fully grasp.

  Stage Manager (as Mrs. Forrest): "Go py in the field, young man. You have nht to py baseball on the main avenue."

  Gee: I'm sorry, Mrs. Forrest. Hi, Emily.

  Emily: What's up?

  Gee: You did a really good spee css.

  She aimed for an air of siy.

  Emily: I was going to give a speech about the Monroe Doe, but at the st minute, Miss Cor made me talk about the Louisiana Purchase. I worked hard on both topics.

  Gee: Hey, Emily, guess what's funny! From my window up there, I see your head at night when you're doing homework in your room.

  The act still reflects innoce. It should be surprising. Ag is about living in a different and fn skin from the performer's own.

  Emily: Really?

  Gee: You're stuck to it, Emily. I 't uand how you sit calmly for so long. I imagine you like school.

  Emily: Well... It always seemed like something you have to gh.

  Gee: Yeah.

  - I see you're doing well, - Cudia said, holding her camera, with some tempera paint on her hands, looking quite cheerful.

  - Not really, I 't seem to find the right role, - Billy said with frustration. The infamous self-doubt always returned, and he felt ie in his performances.

  - Did you ask Raquel for advice? - Cudia asked.

  - Sure, - Billy said. It was a lie. Raquel had been busy talking during the hour and a half he had been rehearsing.

  -No, you didn't. I watched you. You only greeted her when we arrived. I've told you; the teacher is excellent for theater and give you advice, - Cudia said.

  - I'll go ter. For now, I want to find my focus, - he said.

  -Well, let it be your choice. But holy, how many times have you rehearsed this py? Almost ten times, - Cudia said.

  -I'm a bit demanding, but I'm getting used to the role. And how about the stage design? And the blog? Have you taken the photos you wanted? - he asked.

  -It's been going well, and yes, I have some for the yearbook and the uping school neer. I still need some of the sports teams, but you'll see. We only have basketball and swimming teams," she said, thinking about some potential issues.

  "Oh, look! The teacher is free now. I'm going to ask for some advice, - Billy said.

  -At the end of the rehearsal. There's no more time, and it's better if we stay for ten more minutes, - she replied.

  The rehearsal started ten mier. All the characters delivered their lines, and the three Saturday performances were doh the missing roles of Mrs. Webber and beloved Gee. Surprisingly, young Justin had more talent for ag than Jack Boor. It was just her impression.

  There was a remarkable young girl named Virginia who had her skills. The color of her voice owerful, perfect for theater. It could be heard throughout the pce, even when she didn't shout, and her expressions were irely bad. Hoeople start ag at a young age? Hoeople fail to achieve the success they desire in pursuing what they seek and long for?

  It is said that thousands of people travel across the state to ehe world of eai, but many end up disappearing in that spectacle, whether due to fierpetition, a ck of evident opportunities, limited ag experience, or poor personal retionship skills. It could be said that they ck proper training. Perhaps that's why those children who start young if they mao thrive iressful industry and have a good image, end up carving a space for themselves in the industry.

  -Great job, Billy! - Cudia said.

  - I haven't won anythi, - he replied.

  -Well, you didn't do bad at all. Actually, better than I expected. Much better, - she nodded.

  -Thank you, dear fan, - he said.

  -Haha, when you win the role, I could e and see you. But until then, you're the trying kid. e on, the teacher is free! - Cudia told him.

  -Good m, you two, - Raquel said.

  -Good day, teacher, - Billy paused. - I was w if you could tell me about my performan the py. Perhaps something to improve? - he asked.

  ..

  .

  The woman's dimples appeared on her face.

  -Of course, although you did great... but you have to rex your character a bit. Natural movements are always good. A person's posture says a lot and is important for theater, as well as ag in general.-

  >>You seem a bit stressed, and it doesn't reflect the spirit of a child who is usually carefree. Try to rex your posture a bit, be looser when delivering your lines, and try not to repeat your ag style too much, - Raquel said.

  -More rexed? - he asked.

  -Yes, I noticed that even your body movements are rehearsed, which be good. But there are times when you o rex and improvise certain ses i. That's why they say 'getting into character.' You have a guide, but you're not using it. When you feel like you have no idea what to do, take that guideline you already have in your head and use it, - she expined.

  -I'll try, teacher, - Billy said, a bit fused.

  The suspicious look the teacher gave him was almost like that of a mother who detects the deceit behind the words.

  Well, without further ado, see you on Wednesday afternoon for another rehearsal," Raquel said.

  The long bck dress, along with the denim jacket, gave her an unusually youthful look for an older person in this era. Billy got lost in his thoughts.

  -Well, take me to the café across the street. It's 3:00 pm, but Mom will take about forty minutes. It's better to grab something to eat while we wait, -Cudia said.

  - Does she know we'll be at the café across the street? - he asked.

  -Oh, she assumes so. It's a routine we have, - Cudia said.

  The following week, he lost the role to Justin in the final performance. He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed after putting so much effort into the py. He evehe script for "Our Town" several times, ensuring the py was ingrained in his mind for a long time. However, despite his best efforts, losing didn't feel pleasant. They gave him a supp role with a few lihat he politely deed. Cudia mentioned his inability to see into the future and accept the role, but he didn't want to participate anyway. retionship
