Talk with actors in Broadway

We had a fascinating session in Broadway. Roger taught us how to improve our characters in short film for Broadway. Firstly, Roger give us a script. Shirley and I try to read though it. However, we do not know what emotion express. So we try to understood it by ourself. Then Roger help us to analyze the script. The relationship of these two characters and environment and what situation. This is why we should write down our characters features. This is my two characters,
Forest(24-28) (male) medium build. He is a engineering student.  He like to use mobile talk to people but he afraid communicate face to face. He is a upright and simple. When he nervous, he will a little bit stammer. He is a not bother about small matters.

Julie(26) (female) petite build. is a lively and confident girl. She study in art & design school. She like to smile to people. Julie love to accept new things. Julie like to talk with people, she is very outgoing. She want to find a mature and humor boyfriend.

We got a new timetable for Broadway short film. It can help me to manage my project and the short film. In the afternoon, we working with actors. There are three actors we got. They gave me lots of constructive suggestions, such as Julie said: Forest. Can I use your laptop? This sentence is too odd because they are not familiar in first date. So someone use your laptop that is privacy. Because Forest is a social anxiety boy, so Julie feel so embarrassed. They give me  advice: Can you put on some music? In addition, Forest pour not enough oil in the pan. So egg is burnt. I wrote it in my script is egg is become black. They also give some good suggestion in my plot, such as Forest too nervous he make the fire in the kitchen. I need to add more dialogue in my script.
They are too professional they have very good emotion expression and good reaction in the performance. They all have good arc of these actors. We also interpret our script to them. We practice our communication skill with actors. We had a unforgettable afternoon in Broadway.
