when you don't want any change?

You're my home.

getting used to playing Troy Bolton,

we are not doing High School Musical 2.

00:01:57,327 --> 00:02:01,081
I've discovered that there is no category
for Best Choreography.

39
00:02:01,164 --> 00:02:03,041
And since the Menkies is step one

40

you cannot play Chip, the teacup,

00:17:19,916 --> 00:17:21,877
All right, all right.

342
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,421
I have already learned so much. (CHUCKLES)

343
00:17:25,630 --> 00:17:29,259
That's it for the warm up.
Please prepare your individual songs.

(SIGHS)

346
00:17:34,097 --> 00:17:36,433
-You ready to sing for two people?
-Born ready.

"Dorothea, I am bound to inform you
of what your father told me,

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

with rabbit in it? I simply adore rabbit."

00:17:59,998 --> 00:18:02,417
We have been doing the same scene

353
00:18:02,500 --> 00:18:05,837
the first day of every acting class
since I've been here.

354
00:18:05,921 --> 00:18:08,256
Ugh, I am so tired of it.

355
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:11,384
No wonder your cockney is flawless.
I'm a little jealous.

356
00:18:11,468 --> 00:18:15,805
(CHUCKLES) Yeah. Accents are definitely
one of my things.

357

I'm more the character archetype.

358
00:18:18,725 --> 00:18:20,560
You know, rather than a traditional lead.

359
00:18:20,644 --> 00:18:22,729
Hmm. Interesting.

360
00:18:23,355 --> 00:18:24,940
Does that ever make you feel...

361
00:18:26,358 --> 00:18:28,360
I don't know. Never mind.

362
00:18:28,443 --> 00:18:29,444
What?

363
00:18:30,195 --> 00:18:31,446
No, just...

364
00:18:32,781 --> 00:18:35,951
Does it ever make you feel
like you're being put in a box?

365
00:18:37,077 --> 00:18:38,536
I mean, (CHUCKLES) there's a reason

366
00:18:38,620 --> 00:18:41,706
why such a high percentage of YAC alumni
are working actors, so...

367
00:18:41,790 --> 00:18:42,832
-Right.
-(EMILY CHUCKLES)

368
00:18:43,708 --> 00:18:46,086
I just get so weird about classical texts,

369
00:18:46,169 --> 00:18:49,548
like, I feel like
I can't relate to any of these characters.

370
00:18:51,550 --> 00:18:54,386
What if we did something
to make it more relatable?

371
00:18:55,762 --> 00:18:56,888
What are you thinking?

372
00:18:59,266 --> 00:19:01,226
Five minutes till solo auditions.

373
00:19:06,022 --> 00:19:07,816
You sounded good during warm ups.

374
00:19:08,525 --> 00:19:09,985
Thanks. You too.

375
00:19:10,068 --> 00:19:12,279
For someone
who's never done theater before,

376
00:19:12,362 --> 00:19:13,780
you are a natural.

377
00:19:13,863 --> 00:19:17,951
Oh, I meant
I had never done local theater before.

378
00:19:18,034 --> 00:19:22,706
(LAUGHS)
You know, with, um, this kinda crowd.

379
00:19:24,791 --> 00:19:26,501
What are you trying to say?

380
00:19:27,210 --> 00:19:31,840
That we both know we're the only
real contenders for the lead here.

381
00:19:33,091 --> 00:19:36,011
So, may the best Belle win.

my friends are incredibly talented.

385
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:48,481
Oh, um, I'm sorry.
I thought this was an audition,

386
00:19:48,565 --> 00:19:50,191
not a friendship circle.

387
00:19:51,401 --> 00:19:52,527
Hmm.

388
00:19:52,611 --> 00:19:53,653
Good luck.

What's going on here?

400
00:20:30,148 --> 00:20:34,027
I'm so sorry. This is my fault.
I should have known better...

401
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:37,447
Oh, no, it was my idea.
We thought it'd be interesting

402
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:40,533
to interpret this scene in our own words,
for this exercise.

403
00:20:40,617 --> 00:20:42,661
Uh, it's a audition. Not an exercise.

404
00:20:44,037 --> 00:20:46,081
Emily, would you care to enlighten Nina?

405
00:20:49,751 --> 00:20:53,296
At YAC, there's no such thing
as a warm up or an exercise.

406
00:20:53,380 --> 00:20:56,383
Every moment is an audition.
Because every moment counts.

407
00:20:57,717 --> 00:21:00,845
Thanks for enlightening me,
Emily. (CHUCKLES)

Um...

409
00:21:03,306 --> 00:21:04,724
I guess I was just thinking,

410
00:21:04,808 --> 00:21:07,185
part of what's cool
about being an actor here

411
00:21:07,269 --> 00:21:09,854
is we get to stretch ourselves,

412
00:21:09,938 --> 00:21:13,650
and, I don't know, like, take big risks.

413
00:21:13,733 --> 00:21:18,321
Oh, well, thank you, Nina,
for your perspective.

414
00:21:19,114 --> 00:21:22,742
You know, let's try this again tomorrow
when you two are better prepared.

415
00:21:22,826 --> 00:21:27,622
And then in the meanwhile,
how about we practice our vocal rest

416
00:21:27,706 --> 00:21:29,207
for the remainder of the day.

-Okay.
-Okay.

00:21:49,311 --> 00:21:52,063
This is an original song I wrote about...

420
00:21:52,147 --> 00:21:54,399
Nerd-alert!
The power of friendship. (CHUCKLES)

421
00:21:55,233 --> 00:21:57,152
It was originally written as a solo,

422
00:21:57,235 --> 00:21:59,905
but then that was wrong,
so I wrote it for three people,

423
00:21:59,988 --> 00:22:02,657
and we'll be singing for two.

-Sorry.

Is there still room for a third?

00:22:15,253 --> 00:22:16,796
Do you know the song?

429
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:20,967
I was curious, so I spent the afternoon
kinda studying it.

00:22:22,302 --> 00:22:23,303
It's brilliant.

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
00:25:36,246 --> 00:25:39,499
The teachers around here
stick too far to the letter sometimes.

498
00:25:39,583 --> 00:25:42,794
(LAUGHS) Yeah, I mean,
I really do love it here.

499
00:25:43,545 --> 00:25:47,299
Uh, I guess I feel a little bit like
a square peg in a star-shaped hole...

500
00:25:47,382 --> 00:25:49,759
It's totally normal
to have some growing pains.

501
00:25:49,843 --> 00:25:52,220
That's what we call a healthy pain.

502
00:25:52,304 --> 00:25:54,472
And will make you a more authentic actor.

503
00:25:54,556 --> 00:25:56,641
Honestly, that's why
I feel so inspired here.

504
00:25:56,725 --> 00:25:58,727
I already have all these ideas
pouring out of me.

505
00:25:58,810 --> 00:26:02,188
Like, I was thinking about starting
a songwriting club at YAC...

506
00:26:03,982 --> 00:26:08,445
This is the only song
you need to be focusing on right now.

507
00:26:09,321 --> 00:26:10,322
Our school anthem.

508
00:26:11,406 --> 00:26:14,034
I think it might be good for you
to sit with these lyrics.

509
00:26:14,117 --> 00:26:16,369
It's all about leaning into the grit

510
00:26:16,453 --> 00:26:20,040
and doing the hard work
to achieve a breakthrough.

511
00:26:20,832 --> 00:26:23,084
-Hmm.
-Trust the outcome.

512
