getting ready

Many people think that preparing for a role on stage, screen or even that big speech is difficult. I would disagree. It is hard but not difficult.

What do I mean by that? Well, you see preparing is just answering questions about who you are, where are you, what are you doing, when is it happening and how does it affect you. Sounds like English class doesn't it. Well, answering those five questions will place you where you need to be at any point in a script or speech. That is not difficult. The problem is many of us don't want to take the time to do the prep work. That is the hard part, taking the time and really digging into what is needed.

If you understand what you are after, where you want to go, how you plan to get there, etc. You see how using the who, what, when, where and why/how can make a difference. So the next time you tackle a role or prepare for the big speech, take the time to work through and understand. It will go a long way toward getting you where you want to go.
