Hello Claire and all, exaggerate, exaggerate, exaggerate...pick an attitude, a gesture, a defect in pronunciation and overemphasize it to be comical! That's what my theater teacher told me... Since I got stuck with playing I have been looking with more couriosity at people and their behaviour. I like most of the aforism of Oscar Wilde because, for a while, you find yourself confused and he captures with a few words thoughts to provoke people. Anyway I think they are far from reality if you want to be happy in your life.
