SCENE 1: ANYWHERE
Andrea walks into any sort of meeting or event or any place she may she someone she knows.
FRIEND: Hey!
ANDREA: How’s it going?
FRIEND: I totally saw you walking down (whatever street) the other day!
ANDREA: Oh yeah?
FRIEND: Yeah! You looked PISSED.
ANDREA: What?
FRIEND: You looked so mad.
ANDREA: Oh…that’s weird. I wasn’t.
FRIEND: Seriously, you should have seen the look on your face.
SCENE 2: ANYWHERE ELSE
Andrea having a conversation with almost anyone (though this most typically happens during rehearsals).
ANDREA: Okay, cool.
ACTOR: What’s wrong?
ANDREA: How do you mean?
ACTOR: Why are you looking at me like that?
ANDREA: Like what?
ACTOR: Like that.
ANDREA: I don’t understand.
ACTOR: You look so mad.
ANDREA: Mad? I’m not mad.
ACTOR: Why do you look so pissed? Should I try it again? Do you want me to change something? I can go bigger with the (whatever we’re discussing) if you want.
ANDREA: No, I thought it was great!
ACTOR: Are you sure?
ANDREA: …Yes!
ACTOR: You still look mad.
ANDREA: I’m just listening to you!
ACTOR: Are you sure?
ANDREA: YES!
Throughout my life, I have learned that my neutral facial expression apparently looks very serious. So not only is my face international, but it’s angry, too(?). Maybe I watched too much Addams Family as a kid.
(Nah, no such thing.)
