I've discovered that there is no category
for Best Choreography.

341
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:21,834
All right, all right.

342
00:17:21,916 --> 00:17:24,377
I have already learned so much. (CHUCKLES)

343
00:17:25,587 --> 00:17:29,216
That's it for the warm up.
Please prepare your individual songs.

(SIGHS)

346
00:17:34,054 --> 00:17:36,390
-You ready to sing for two people?
-Born ready.

347
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:43,730
"Dorothea, I am bound to inform you
of what your father told me,

348

"but first I implore you to choose
from the offerings upon this menu."

with rabbit in it? I simply adore rabbit."

00:17:59,955 --> 00:18:02,374
We have been doing the same scene

353
00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:05,794
the first day of every acting class
since I've been here.

354
00:18:05,878 --> 00:18:08,213
Ugh, I am so tired of it.

355
00:18:08,297 --> 00:18:11,341
No wonder your cockney is flawless.
I'm a little jealous.

356
00:18:11,425 --> 00:18:15,762
(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Accents are definitely
one of my things.

357

Dean Patel says
I'm more the character archetype.

358
00:18:18,682 --> 00:18:20,517
You know, rather than a traditional lead.

359
00:18:20,601 --> 00:18:22,686
Hmm. Interesting.

360
00:18:23,312 --> 00:18:24,897
Does that ever make you feel...

361
00:18:26,315 --> 00:18:28,317
I don't know. Never mind.

362
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,401
What?

363
00:18:30,152 --> 00:18:31,403
No, just...

364
00:18:32,738 --> 00:18:35,908
Does it ever make you feel
like you're being put in a box?

365
00:18:37,034 --> 00:18:38,493
I mean, (CHUCKLES) there's a reason

366
00:18:38,577 --> 00:18:41,663
why such a high percentage of YAC alumni
are working actors, so...

367
00:18:41,747 --> 00:18:42,789
-Right.
-(EMILY CHUCKLES)

368
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:46,043
I just get so weird about classical texts,

369
00:18:46,126 --> 00:18:49,505
like, I feel like
I can't relate to any of these characters.

370
00:18:51,507 --> 00:18:54,343
What if we did something
to make it more relatable?

371
00:18:55,719 --> 00:18:56,845
What are you thinking?

372
00:18:59,223 --> 00:19:01,183
Five minutes till solo auditions.

373
00:19:05,979 --> 00:19:07,773
You sounded good during warm ups.

374
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:09,942
Thanks. You too.

375
00:19:10,025 --> 00:19:12,236
For someone
who's never done theater before,

376
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:13,737
you are a natural.

377
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:17,908
Oh, I meant
I had never done local theater before.

378
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:22,663
(LAUGHS)
You know, with, um, this kinda crowd.

379
00:19:24,748 --> 00:19:26,458
What are you trying to say?

380
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:31,797
That we both know we're the only
real contenders for the lead here.

381
00:19:33,048 --> 00:19:35,968
So, may the best Belle win.

my friends are incredibly talented.

385
00:19:44,977 --> 00:19:48,438
Oh, um, I'm sorry.
I thought this was an audition,

386
00:19:48,522 --> 00:19:50,148
not a friendship circle.

387
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:52,484
Hmm.

388
00:19:52,568 --> 00:19:53,610
Good luck.

What's going on here?

400
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:33,984
I'm so sorry. This is my fault.
I should have known better...

401
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:37,404
Oh, no, it was my idea.
We thought it'd be interesting

402
00:20:37,487 --> 00:20:40,490
to interpret this scene in our own words,
for this exercise.

403
00:20:40,574 --> 00:20:42,618
Uh, it's a audition. Not an exercise.

404
00:20:43,994 --> 00:20:46,038
Emily, would you care to enlighten Nina?

405
00:20:49,708 --> 00:20:53,253
At YAC, there's no such thing
as a warm up or an exercise.

406
00:20:53,337 --> 00:20:56,340
Every moment is an audition.
Because every moment counts.

407
00:20:57,674 --> 00:21:00,802
Thanks for enlightening me,
Emily. (CHUCKLES)

Um...

409
00:21:03,263 --> 00:21:04,681
I guess I was just thinking,

410
00:21:04,765 --> 00:21:07,142
part of what's cool
about being an actor here

411
00:21:07,226 --> 00:21:09,811
is we get to stretch ourselves,

412
00:21:09,895 --> 00:21:13,607
and, I don't know, like, take big risks.

413
00:21:13,690 --> 00:21:18,278
Oh, well, thank you, Nina,
for your perspective.

414
00:21:19,071 --> 00:21:22,699
You know, let's try this again tomorrow
when you two are better prepared.

415
00:21:22,783 --> 00:21:27,579
And then in the meanwhile,
how about we practice our vocal rest

416
00:21:27,663 --> 00:21:29,164
for the remainder of the day.

-Okay.
-Okay.

419
00:21:49,268 --> 00:21:52,020
This is an original song I wrote about...

420
00:21:52,104 --> 00:21:54,356
Nerd-alert!
The power of friendship. (CHUCKLES)

421
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:57,109
It was originally written as a solo,

422
00:21:57,192 --> 00:21:59,862
but then that was wrong,
so I wrote it for three people,

423
00:21:59,945 --> 00:22:02,614
and we'll be singing for two.

-Sorry.

00:22:12,791 --> 00:22:14,418
Is there still room for a third?

428
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:16,753
Do you know the song?

429
00:22:17,796 --> 00:22:20,924
I was curious, so I spent the afternoon
kinda studying it.

430
00:22:22,259 --> 00:22:23,260
It's brilliant.

we're not doing Dreamgirls.

I'm so glad I found you.

Just wanted to do a little check-in.

can be a lot to get used to, can't it?

-Uh...

I know you're on vocal rest,
but please feel free to speak.

497
00:25:36,203 --> 00:25:39,456
The teachers around here
stick too far to the letter sometimes.

498
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:42,751
(LAUGHS) Yeah, I mean,
I really do love it here.

499
00:25:43,502 --> 00:25:47,256
Uh, I guess I feel a little bit like
a square peg in a star-shaped hole...

500
00:25:47,339 --> 00:25:49,716
It's totally normal
to have some growing pains.

501
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,177
That's what we call a healthy pain.

502
00:25:52,261 --> 00:25:54,429
And will make you a more authentic actor.

503
00:25:54,513 --> 00:25:56,598
Honestly, that's why
I feel so inspired here.

504
00:25:56,682 --> 00:25:58,684
I already have all these ideas
pouring out of me.

505
00:25:58,767 --> 00:26:02,145
Like, I was thinking about starting
a songwriting club at YAC...

506
00:26:03,939 --> 00:26:08,402
This is the only song
you need to be focusing on right now.

507
00:26:09,278 --> 00:26:10,279
Our school anthem.

508
00:26:11,363 --> 00:26:13,991
I think it might be good for you
to sit with these lyrics.

509
00:26:14,074 --> 00:26:16,326
It's all about leaning into the grit

510
00:26:16,410 --> 00:26:19,997
and doing the hard work
to achieve a breakthrough.

511
00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:23,041
-Hmm.
-Trust the outcome.

512
