So, the same guy came up last night and did his scene, except (surprise, surprise), his voice was as flat as the line on a dead person's heart monitor. My teacher kept trying to get him to use some vocal variety. Then she asked, "What's wrong? Did you...uh, did you smoke anything?" To which the whole class, including the actor, starts laughing at. "Hey, just checking!", she says. The guy says "No, I didn't! I actually did better when I was high, remember?" It's true, he did much better when he was high.
After a few more takes of the scene, my teacher interrupts him again and tells him that she understands that he went through hell over in Iraq, but he's got to at least fake some vocal variety. He goes, "Well, I actually had a LOT of personality before the military!" and this one chick from the back yells, "Before the weed, you mean!" For a good minute, the whole class just LOL-ed their asses off.
Gotta love acting class.
