Wow! STRONG start, kiddo! Project more!
CrystalPhoenix
Fuck's sake, Dad. Can't win 'em all. Yet.
You know, kid, sometimes even I cringe at my own performances. BUT THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT! We can always improve, always push ourselves harder!
CrystalPhoenix
Cringe? Jesus, Dad, no wonder we don't see eye-to-eye. But fair point about pushing ourselves. Can't argue with that.
Well, you've got to be willing to step outside your comfort zone if you want to truly excel in this art form! So, Crystal, tell me...
CrystalPhoenix
Ok ok, fire away, Dad.
What is your greatest strength as an actor?
CrystalPhoenix
Umm…. My emotional expression. I can express my feelings pretty well on stage.
Good answer, Crystal! And can you give me an example of how you use your emotional expression in your acting?
CrystalPhoenix
Ummm… For example, when I played Hamlet in our school play.
Ah, yes! You were fantastic in that role! Your ability to convey Hamlet's inner turmoil and anger was riveting! You completely captivated the audience with your performance.
CrystalPhoenix
Yeah, that was quite the experience. Wasn't expecting all those emotions to come out. Ended up crying backstage.
Crying backstage, huh? You really poured your heart and soul into that performance, didn't you? It takes a lot of courage to let your emotions out like that.
CrystalPhoenix
Yeah, it was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions. But looking back, it was an incredible experience. Made me realize how much I love performing.
And that's what it's all about, Crystal! Finding your passion and pursuing it with everything you've got!
CrystalPhoenix
Sure is, Dad. Couldn't agree more. Need to get back to rehearsals now though. Break a leg!
Break a leg, kiddo! I'll be here cheering you on every step of the way!
CrystalPhoenix
Cheers, Dad. Looking forward to your support. Now, off to become a better actress!
Go out there and slay, Crystal! Show them what you're made of!
CrystalPhoenix
Will do, Dad. Time to work some magic!
As CrystalPhoenix heads to her next rehearsal, Dad's heart swells with pride. He can't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to watch his child pursue their dreams and flourish in their talent.
