Picture Submissions for my Acting Class



My new acting career is coming along pretty well. I have a new appearance scheduled for December on Days of our Lives. Not to shabby.
My coach wanted me to work on my emotional looks ... you know, the feelings projected without the spoken word. These are my recent (a minute ago) photos. Can you tell what I am trying to accomplish with each pose? Let me know which ones you like best, and which ones need work. I will take a copy of the comments to my next class.

"Thank You" in advance

Oh SC I jsut am not sure what to think of the many faces of you. I do think my favorite is with the gum. Fresh breath is ALWAYS in!

Olga, the Traveling Bra said...

Oh goody!!! Are we playing "Name That Emotion?!?!?"

Olga, the Traveling Bra said...

You look like Carl Spackler in pic #1!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

WHEW!!!!

You ladies are so fast ... I didn't even add the words yet.

COME BACK!

dcr said...

Okay, you can tell me how close I am...

First row.
1) Thinking disturbed thoughts.
2) Faking surprise.
3) This gum tastes like laminated cardboard.

Second row.
1) NEVER BOTHER ME WHEN I'M READING!
2) I'M STILL READING!!!
3) Whoa. You should read what I read.

Third row.
1) That's not funny. I don't like that at all.
2) Faking surprise again.
3) I will eat the the man who stole my Soylent Green chicken!!!

How close am I?

Speedcat Hollydale said...

DCR ... THE SOYLENT GREEN CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dcr said...

Actor, writer, director, producer. Used to perform plays in my backyard.

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Well, if you have any opening for a bearded fella ... give me a call. I would shave for a leading role, but realize that might be for future endevors - (after I graduate)

Olga, the Traveling Bra said...

you are thinking of gravy in pic # 5...& you are imitating a beaver in that last picture...

malawika said...

1) "What it is... one moment, one moment..."
2) "I think that I already know..."
3) "Something to eat???"
4) "Do I know it?... I think that I read somewhere about it..."
5) "... probably I know."
6) "Perhaps there is an instruction inside..."
7) "No, there isn't... but there is an advertisement in the TV."
8) "It wasn't necessary to take a few at once..."
9) //SCENE AS ALMOST AS IN "THE MATRIX" MOVIE...

simplyjacy said...

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Jacy ... not a bad idea!

A post with my own emoticons :-)

I was thinking about gravy

AngelBaby said...

I don't know what to say here except good luck on your acting. I know you will do well.

Love and Blessings,
AngelBaby

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Angel Baby! Thanks for the encouragement. As we all know, the acting world is a dog eat cat arena, and my feet are caked with litter.

I will work on these more tomorrow!!!

Miss Moneypenny said...

Let's see, from the Top Left photo:
1. Speedy Snaglepuss Exit stage left!
2. Speedy Top Cat was caught by Officer Dibble!
3. Speedy Shock after his Trident tongue was super glued to the package.
4. Speedy Puzzled by the Obama B.S. (Barack Sh!+) mystery.
5. Speedy De Niro "You talkin' to me?" look.
6. Speedy can't believe he just saw the Chicken Breasts of Dr. Phil.
7. The 0007 Bondcat under-the cover look at Miss Moneypenny!
8. The look of Senator Speedy when he first saw his nude campaign Ad!
9. Those endangered Pheppings will pay for making me do this! :~)))

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Miss Moneypenny ... what would I ever do without you ???

That was just like old times, again ... (thanks)

smoooooooooootchie smootchie :-)

Miss Moneypenny said...

Ohh James 0007, Miss Moneypenny will be here if you ever need me! :~))

Speedcat Hollydale said...

... and likewise, my friend

Speedcat Hollydale said...

(loved 9 !!!)

Crazed Mom said...

Hi Uncle. Hope you have a great day. Me sad today.

Trinity said...

hmmmm.... I think no. 2 and no. 8 is too similar expression... kekekekeke... and I love the first one... as it is not easy to do that with your eye brows.. hahahah...

Daisy said...

These are great, Speedy! :D I don't think you need to change any of them as you are communicating quite well.

I'm laughing at your commenters. HA!

All right, here's what I see.

#1 Hmmm...I'm hungry. Wonder what I'm going to fix for dinner.

#2 Oh boy! Alice (from Brady bunch, of course) is here! She says she will make dinner for me!

#3 I'm very hungry. I'll just chew this gum while I'm waiting for Alice to cook something.

#4 Alice is a great cook, but it takes a long time for her to make dinner. I've read this entire magazine while waiting and dinner is still not ready. I'm getting impatient. I'm so hungry.

#5 Alice is so HOT! I love watching her cook.

#6 OH, Alice!! I didn't know you could do THAT!! (Alice is much more flexible than Speedy realized!)

#7 Uh-oh, I think I hear Sam the Butcher coming!

#8 Dinner's ready!! and there's CHICKEN! and GRAVY! and best of all, CHERRY PIE!!!

#9 Yes, Alice, I did too brush my teeth after eating. SEE! See how clean they are!!!

My favorites are #5 and #8. ;-)

PetMono said...

speedcat, this is an easy one - for a change. all the photos communicate. well how do we put it: my neighbor's three-month-old has the very same poses only his face turns real red.

speaking of acting i have a fav story. more than 10 years ago i am riding a ski lift on ajax in aspen and jack nicolson! is sitting next to me. small talk until i ask him this question. "it's true that liars are good actors. are actors good liars?" he looks real hard at me and seconds go by and he screams "that's an excellent question!" by this time we reach the top and he hops off the chair and proceeds to go straight down. i mean STRAIGHT DOWN! i hope there were bales of hay at the bottom.

Mighty Morgan said...

Well Speedy who knew that your talents were so diverse :) Can't wait till you get your first Oscar!!!!

meleah rebeccah said...

Trident White! Go with that one!

I Ponder said...

i don't see any puppy wuppie eyes :D

Speedcat Hollydale said...

I ponder ... good idea, I think I'll add that!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Meleah, maybe my comercial debut??

ha haa!!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Morgan! Always love to see you here. My first Oscar? It will be on the mantle next to my blogging awards. Many of them from YOU :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Pet Mono: I can TOTALLY picture the Nicolson story. I read this comment at work on my phone, and laughed out loud. Great comment!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Daisy ... EXCELLENTE`

Great injection of Alice (you know me all to well)

Your link is up at Doctor Shoals too. Super addition my friend :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Trinity!

Well, the similar poses were related emotions ... ha haaaaa!!
My eyebrows and forehead are very very rubber like 8~)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Auntie ... sent you mail

sogratefultobemormon.wordpress.com said...

hi speedy,

you are so funny.

thanks for the little giggle you gave me!

Greeneyezz said...

Can I just say....

Your pictures *always* seem to crack me up!
I'm very serious here.
You often edit any photo you post here and I *know* that takes time to do. You're very creative with your photos (and expressions!).
I enjoy your stuff and I certainly can appreciate the time it takes to do that. :)

My favorites of those listed above?
Top Row - 1st pic
Mid Row - 3rd pic
Bottome Row - 1st pic

Nicely done Eric! :)

mauniejames3 said...

Hey Speedy........

Kim said...

these are excellent character shots Speedy...
I like the 'studious'look with the specks best of all then the shy look...the paranoid look ... the wild show the bottom teeth snarl is pretty good too...that's the sort of look I have after checking out my technorati rank...
I just lost 330 links...in one stinking day!!!so I'll borrow that look from you for the weekend..after I take my badge of my site!!! :-{ :-{

Kim said...

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Kim ... I have the Technorati look all the time. It is really hard to hold a lot of incomings during the course of 6 months.

Today, on my mobile, Technorati showed my blog as missing! YHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

(yes, I actually check links on my phone)

I got it bad :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Maunie .... YOU are the coolest!!

Ha haaaa!!!!!!!!!

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Greeneyezz ... After doing this blogging thing for a while, I can pretty much zip out picture creations in short order, although my dream program is Adobe Photoshop.
Of course, if I did have that, I might never leave the house!

Thank YOU for the nice comment :-)

Speedcat Hollydale said...

Beany, I always love to hear from you!

I knew the first time we started talking in comments that you were a special, sweet - fun - super lady.

You are without a doubt one of the most caring people I know.

Mimi Lenox said...

I like the 4th one. You look like Shakespeare....

Bill Donovan said...

The trident photo speaks to me, but the over the top bared teeth has a lot of potential for a theatrical bad guy in a David Spade movie.

wendster said...

Helping myself to soylent green chicken.

Hey. Is this REALLY chicken?

Could you do some more angry faces?

I don't think you have quite enough of those.

How about a big smile?
How about one of those amouray faces. Do you know what that spells?
