As an acting major, i'm currently working on a scene form Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya"... in which I am playin Vanya.
The character is drunk in tihs scene im working on.
My teacher actually ENCOURAGED me to get drunk and work on the scene. Espcecially vodka, since its pure Russia.
Greatest homeowrk assignment ever.
Also- Vodka + Apple Cider equals WIN. MMMM... apple-y goodness pluss alcohol. It's hardd as shit to mix to the perfect taste- thank god my roomate is a certified bartender. I can only barely taste the vodka.
If Luuke was gay... oh wait, he is. BURN!
So is Timmy.
BURN.
Bill is bicruious.
AJ is a republican cunt... oh wait, he is. But is still is better than Cunt-Tit-Ho.

Am I the only one who thinks that was bad advice? To act you have to keep your wits about you as you dedicate yourself to briefly living the life of that character and displaying it for your audience. Vanya is drunk, not Matt, but I doubt the vodka makes any differentiation.

The suggestion wasn't to perform it drunk- it was to rehearse it drunk ONCE. It's actually a very common acting exercise- people will have private rehearsals where they have actual drinks, or they'll get as drunk as their character is beforehand and do a scene.
In this particular scene, the drunkeness is supposed to be an obstacle. I'm trying my damndest not to let the other character know I'm drunk, even though I'm shitfaced.
All I needed was a reference point. Playing drunk is incredibly easy to overdo or underdo... it needed the perfect amount of subtly.

I'm thinking about getting drunk and doing my Micro-Computers project....lol....just because I've had a rough couple of days, and a few drinks sound awesome right now!

Acting drunk worked for Nick Nolte, why not Matt?
