What Patti Lupone taught me.

I'm having a bad day.

So I watched Patti Lupone: A YoungArts Master Class.

I finally see how important engaging your eyes in everything you do. Because your face can say a million things but not engaging your eyes ruins all of it.

Always be spontaneous. An audience can spot when something is rehearsed. Everything needs to be spontaneous. Well, don't go against the directors blocking, but make everything fresh and natural.

She gave this big speech about how the arts are dying and we need to keep it alive. We are the actors coming after the actors before us and we have to carry on their legacy.

I'm inspired.
