Question: I have to do a performance like I'm on the phone!.!.!.!?
Hey alright so for one of my acting classes I have to perform like I'm on the phone with someone!. Anyone, for any reason!. That's too much possibility for my brain, anyone have anything creative!?
also please don't say 'fight with your boyfriend!.' Too many people have done it!.!.!.
And I was thinking of doing some really confusing story like:
No my boyfriend kisses her cousin's daughter and right away it's my fault for punching him in the gut and then the daughter's sister screams because her boyfriend comes over and tackles him because secretly he's in love with the daughter who my boyfriend kissed and!.!.!.!.!.
Blah blah blah!.Anyone got anything better!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

it would help if you could tell us how long it has to be
I suck at making up phone conversations!. Especially ones that are school appropriate!.!.!. but try this!. It's used with a modern cellphone!.
!.!.!.=places where you pause because the other person on phone is speaking
!.!.=random pause with no person speaking
*phone rings*
Hey!.!.!.seriously!?!?What'd she say after you spilled the cake on her dress!?!.!.!.Psh! That dress was moment the second she put it on anyway!.!.!.O-M-G That is so not fair!!.!.what flavor!?!.!.!.No I don't like him anymore!. Bob was just an infatuation!. Every girl has had a Bob!. Which is mainly the problem!. Every girl has had Bob!!.!.!.You are!?!.!.!.Then we're not friends anymore!!.!.okay, see you at lunch!.!.!.
!.!.!.kinda short and random, but that gives you space to add on things in between their words!. Wouldn't want to do ALL your homework for you :P
here's another idea!. It's more dramatic and serious though!. I think you'll need more acting skills to pull this one off as opposed to my idea above!. This is used with one of those old fashioned, heavy telephones btw!.
Oh, hi!? About what happened last night, care to explain!?!.!.!.oh, you did!? I don't think there's anything wrong with what you did, no sir-eee!. Only you forgot the fact it was MY FREAKING BROTHER'S FRIEND'S SISTER'S MOTHER'S FRIEND'S DENTIST'S GIRLFRIEND'S BOYFRIENDS' BEST FRIEND'S NEPHEW YOU MADE OUT WITH!!!!!!.!.!.That's no excuse! How could you do such a thing!?!.!.!.oh, like it's MY fault that I introduced you and said you should be friends, well, you're REAL good friends now, aren't ya!?!.!.!.you KNOW I had my eye on him!!.!.!.When I met you last night and I shared my popcorn with you, I thought I just made a friend!.!.but I guess I was wrong *Puts phone back on on the receiver HARD* (feel free to pantomime that last action if you don't get any props to work with)
fee free to add on to that idea as wellWww@QuestionHome@Com
Why don't you do something that involves a serious matter!.
Like maybe your character just found out that shes a pregnant teenage girl and your talking to you older sister who is in collage about what you should do!. You haven't told your parents or your boyfriend and your freaking out!.
Your idea sounds very funny but a little confusing!. Sometimes its better to do a serious role because teachers can get a better feel of your acting skills
GOOD LUCK :)

Well do you have to do both sides of the conversation or just the part where you are talking to somebody else!? But if it just you talking thenpretend like you are talking to one of your best friends about what you had for lunch the day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Try watching "The Medium" (the operetta by Gian Carlo Menotti) and see if it gives you an idea!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
