I felt a depth of sadness to her character...like the charcter was overcompensating...trying to hide how sad she was. But then again, maybe it was just the times--me projecting. Either way, the emotion poured out beautifully. It felt like a real toast and for that...comedy genius!Jeff wrote:I thought Kaci's character was overwhelmingly HAPPY and sentimental that the bride and groom were so perfect for each other.

Kaci played a drunken woman who worked with the bride in the same office and she was upset that her friend was being taken away from her--as if marriage would ruin the bonds of friendship. The wedding caused her so much distress and Kaci absolutely nailed it.

Re: FOR THE RECORD
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

I love any "Small voice" or "What comes Next" type of solo scene that Ceej performs in. It's just art at its' finest to watch him deal with this evil demonic voice who always gets him into trouble or makes him do off-the-cuff things.
Chris, if there is a master to "What comes next" I believe you are it.
His final line of the scene was fantastic. He'd just been mauled by the mother cheetah for biting her, was lying on the floor, and blurted out: "I'm bleeding profusely! What should I do?"
The response was brilliant and came at an instant: "RUN!"
True genius. I applaud you, sir.

That's funny, I just told Chris last night that I think he's perfectly cut out for that style of improv, because he's always so damn good at it. To be even more clear about the genius of his final line-- "What do I do?" - "RUN!"- it was perfect irony because his body was so contorted as he lay there on the ground that it was obvious he was COMPLETELY disabled and unable to run from the momma cheetah.

Thanks a bunch guys! Those notes are humbling. I'm seriously blushing.
The reason why I love "What Comes Next?" OR "Demon Voice" is because you get to put yourself in really awkward and troubling situations...you do this to yourself and most of the time when I play it I really don't know what I'm going to command myself to do next. Half the time I'm genuinely reacting to what I've commanded myself to do. Talk about improv as a drug sometimes...this happens to me usually in these scenes. The scene ends and I'm like, "Oh, yeah, I was doing a scene."
Wish I could bottle up the feeling I get when I play these scenes and make millions.
