How to Put Together an Acting Rehearsal Book

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm glad you came back for this segment from Expert Village with me, Kat Litrenta. I'm a professional entertainer and we're working on putting a Latin show together. Well, what we've done is we've selected the music. We've already gone into the studio and we've had our music put on a CD just for us. Now, what I've done is put my face on my CD. And, on the back of that sheet, I have a legend of all the songs in order. Now, most of the time, you're in control of your own music, but a lot of times you aren't. If you have to hand this to somebody at a fest or a fair, they put this on; it could get mixed up somebody else's, but not with your face on it like that. Also, that's a one hour CD. You might want to consider putting a half hour CD together. Just the other day, I was called for a half hour of Lola, my Latin entertainer. Now when you do you're rehearsing, you are going to find that rehearsing in the wig and rehearsing in the hat, as you've seen me earlier put this hat together with a glue gun. You want to rehearse with this on your head because you've got to get used this, this is very heavy. And you've got to get used to that, throwing yourself out in front of a group, with never having put the costume on or worked a rehearsal and then, of course, there's moves. You know and if you're going to do the Macarena and you're going to do some dance step, you've got to move with the shoes and the hat. It's very important to rehearse with your costume on."
