ARTISTIC AND ECONOMIC MONOLOGUES

FRIDAY MAY 6TH, 2022
SCENE ONE:
I prayed to GOD for an opportunity to act
Next day signed up for a few and got a call back
Telling me I could hit the call backs
If the first audition I don't stall that's
Hiding the fact this is the first audition the call rats
She gave me the only Starbucks script I didn't know it when
I practiced all day I practiced all night
Woke up and finished by 7pm all bright
Read the Godfather script for kicks
I thank GOD I got the call back
I just have to pay for their classes and off we go
The poet who directed films but wrote novels then realized acting was the gift ticket there
Shared with snares smelling destiny in the air
Takes time for the emotion to pour out like a sinker
Pouring out air in water what a thinker
Cadence like John Gotti 1996 Armand Stand Up
You talk like an Italian
Used to speaking so fast in their own language this is how they think they will speak as fast in your languages
If I speak like this in a role ill win the Oscar win it because why because no explanation necessary that's what Neil will tell me he would say John suck it up and do the time it's about honor respect you take the beating for the friend you don't lay down and D.B. was a gentleman
Let's win again who would have thought acting brings Benjamin's?
$17 per hour as a start pure showers
I was prepared for it to happen but wasn't sure it would happen this way I just was sure it would happen
Now I know this is the calling and I can be one of the greatest actors ever and go in there every time with this mentality
Totally decimate every audition just leave it there get the role the top spots any category eligible for the Oscar get it and get it good
You wanted this thing you whole life and now and now you got it. You got it so good you practice you still practice you never stopped practicing.
This is something pure it's from your soul it's your support line and your resistance level this is your gauge how you gauge your emotion.
This is your therapy the only therapy you could ever afford. You go in the booth you make the booth you make a booth anywhere you can everywhere you go when you're ready to record.
You do this for years do it so long it's normal to anyone around you after a certain time.
Acting out a script feels like therapy because you can out your emotions in someone else's words.
You take this John Gotti cadence and you take it to the moon. Use it in a film. You'll land a film role solely from this accent one time.

SCENE TWO:
You gotta want it Frankie. More than you want to breathe. Take my air you can have the air I need if I'm not breathing for what I believe in. You can have it all. All of the comforts and all of the joys. The laughs the giggles the giddy crackles.
The world is a field of finish lines. A baton race. The world is one big baton race. Some by yourself and some with others. You go from goal to goal. You lead the way from accomplishment to accomplishment.
You set the goals in front of you and you chase them. You chase them until the last breathe. There's no rush but time is of the essence. Take the adequate time necessary to prepare for the sought out opportunities but time is of the essence.
Every goal leads to the next. The baton race. Each goal set is the previous goals completion. It will take 15 years to flesh out. 15 years before you're living the reality fully. 7 years until it sparks a flame and you observe an universal booster in abilities.
It was a new ability at the seven year mark for me personally. You start off as a seven year old poet on stage reciting another poet's work. It was called "I Can". "Because I can and I want to" we're the closing lines. You started writing your own poems at seven. You realized by 12 you loved cinema and you directed your first film. No script and no editing software. Shot scene by scene and in chronological order. 6-12 minutes. Took 6-12 hours. You realized then it took a lot to make even the shortest film.
By 21 you were on YouTube about 5 times with every channel being a hit with stats. You decided to try novels and ensure your literary legacy no matter what the film career brought. You chose a pen name David Crichton by 25 and self published novels and scripts until 32.
You sought out your first acting audition. By 27 you started writing economic notes and financially literate stories. 5 years into currency trading and stock holding. Value investing and futures trading.
The acting was the last step to the puzzle. The hardest aspect of it due to the emotional availability one must have to excel at the craft. Needless to say I'm there. I'm ready for the tears and I'm ready for the pain the scene will require.
I know what buttons to press on myself. Other people try to push my buttons every day sometimes. Hey you gotta know what makes you mad or sad so only you feel those when you want to. You can't push my buttons but I can press my buttons.
I can push my buttons by myself. If you try to push my buttons ill just hold on to the button until the next director yells Action.
In this scene I'm going to take all of the emotion. All of the rage all of the pain all of the sadness. All of the grief oh yea it's coming with me. I'm going to remember the saddest nights. I'll remember the coldest days.
I'll reminiscence on the longest days and the longest showers. I'll reflect on no lights for three weeks in November N.Y. state. Jack Frost wasn't playing with me and I'm not playing with you either.
You have to be an open book of emotion. Take the script and demolish it. Brings those words to life emotion does. Bring those words to life with your emotion. How long will it take to make myself cry? Doesn't matter. I'll show up to set early and sit on the stairs.
On set sitting on the stairs, thinking about all of the times I was just sitting on the stairs and looking up at the stars. Wondering where is that air plane landing? You come real far when you look back and realize you never stopped. You have to be willing to spend the rest of your life committed to the dream.
No matter what happened you never stopped. You took breaks for your mental or emotional health if needed but you never gave up. You always remembered the minimum work flow you needed to keep your personal momentum.
Now you're momentum trading. Betting on the winners only and betting more on the winners. Now you're going full time currency speculation. Now you can go full time acting. Full time passion projects while pursuing industry passions.
Taking art courses and acting classes. On top of the talent agency classes before your first audition. You're about to be a professional actor. You're a professional actor on the inside already. He has reared his crown.
