1 SMPLE SCRIPTS PCKGE Director s Note: Contains: 4 Television Show "Intros" 1 Solo Commercial (Male/Female) 2 2 Person Scenes 1 Comedic Monologue One of the first things an actor learns when studying "non-verbal communication", is that "people mirror people". In other words, individuals "mirror" the facial expression(s) of the individual talking directly to them plausibility In television, this is very important, inasmuch as shows involving "Hosts" generally feature close-ups and/or head shots. Consequently, the viewer will tend to replicate the facial expression and/or the emotional "tone" that the host s facial expressions portray. The actor s facial expressions, in a mobile yet cohesive manner, evoke the viewers emotion, creating the believability. In this series of four "Intros", the actor is asked to deliver the lines with plausibility, as well as, with the specific emotions and/or "tone" called for.

9 MONOLOGUE TITLE: TECHING STYLE: COMEDIC OJECTIVE: TO ENCOMPSS USE OF ODY LNGUGE Most people seem to think that teachers now-a-days have it easy with all the technology available. ctually it s just the opposite. Teachers now are finding themselves actually competing with technology for the student s attention. The other day, I asked one of my students to take off his headset and open his eyes. He took off the headset and said his eyes were open all the time he just had the lids of them! Checking my attendance, I asked one student if she missed school yesterday. She said, No, not a bit! Yesterday I sat in on a parent-teacher conference and heard the teacher say, Let me put it this way, your son is functioning with the full six pack but he s missing that little plastic thing that holds it all together! Passing out pencils for a test the other day, my student asked me, If the #2 pencil is the pencil of choice, how come it s still #2? Last week one of my students seemed really sad. In talking with her, I found out her cat was sick. So, trying to cheer her up, I said, No, your cat just thinks he s sick give him a day or so and you ll see he s fine. The next day in class I saw her and said, Hey, how s your cat? She said, He thinks he s dead!!!
