I imagine the first couple of times one is probably really excited, but I have to admit having practised my reading at home before hand and everything, I was almost tired of the section I had chosen to read when the time came!<BR/><BR/>Dr. Hack - I guess it really depends who you are. You personally may inspire terror. . . others. . . not so much I would guess. . .<BR/><BR/>J M - I know you are joking, but I bet if you actually did that you would get a lot of publicity. I think it's a brilliant idea!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607530400279311428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-60366497673898876442007-02-20T04:35:00.000-05:002007-02-20T04:35:00.000-05:00i always thought it would be more fun to use mario...i always thought it would be more fun to use marionettes and/or sock puppets for my deadly serious fantasy novels.<BR/><BR/>i don't think my editor would go for that, though.J m mcdermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433637277106963701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-31479872593435647802007-02-19T21:21:00.000-05:002007-02-19T21:21:00.000-05:00What works for me when I read out loud:First I sta...What works for me when I read out loud:<BR/><BR/>First I start taking off my clothes until they tell me to stop. If they don't say anything and let me get completely naked, then I pick up the script and in an incredibly loud, piercing scream, begin to read.<BR/><BR/>When they ask me to stop, I pretend I can't hear them. You'd be amazed at how long it takes people to confront you with physical force while you're doing this.<BR/><BR/>If you abruptly drop the scream, start touching yourself, and begin reading in a sensual voice even if the dialog is completely banal, the people you're reading for figure you must be some kind of genius, and they hire you on the spot.<BR/><BR/>I swear. It works every time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845616342574685659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16924800.post-20586827254300587722007-02-17T02:22:00.000-05:002007-02-17T02:22:00.000-05:00This is very helpful.
