  2. What up?
  3. What up?
  4. Look at all the leaves.
  5. They're everywhere.
  6. How are you guys doing?
  7. We are back.
  8. Your boy, Mr Conrad Davis, hailing from the school of
  9. Elementary Middle.
  10. And today we will be going over some really fun,
  11. Cool things.
  12. I hope you guys can enjoy and have fun with
  13. me. And let's do this.
  14. Let's make it happen.
  15. So today we're learning how to use goat G o
  16. t e Not the animal by but goat.
  17. It is the acronym for acting.
  18. It involves a few things called goals, obstacles, tactics and
  19. expectations. Right.
  20. We're gonna try to do it on a monologue.
  21. I'm going to start by reading the monologue, see if
  22. you can understand what's going on.
  23. I'm going to read it first.
  24. Ready? And this is for a boy or girl.
  25. It doesn't matter.
  26. Man or woman.
  27. Anyone? It's called moving away.
  28. It is a dramatic monologue for a girl or boy
  29. usually in theater.
  30. We use actual monologues from place.
  31. But I know you guys probably haven't read some of
  32. the ones I wanted to do.
  33. So I'm just gonna pick one from this book.
  34. So student discovers that his or her best friend is
  35. moving and begs her him to stay.
  36. Wow. You're lucky you get to go to Boston.
  37. I never get to go anywhere except my room.
  38. We went to Disneyworld once when I was little, but
  39. I don't remember going.
  40. My mom told me.
  41. When are you coming back?
  42. Never. You mean you're moving away.
  43. But you can't.
  44. You're my best friend.
  45. You got to stay here.
  46. Who am I going to play with and go to
  47. school with and ride bikes with?
  48. No, it's not fair.
  49. I won't let you go.
  50. Maybe you could live in my house.
  51. Ask your dad.
  52. I know.
  53. My mom would say Okay, Don't go.
  54. I'll die.
  55. Promise me you won't leave, Please.
  56. So today we'll be defining a lot of different things.
  57. So go to the acronym that you use to kind
  58. of help you put more flesh and put more death
  59. to your actual monologue over here.
  60. So most actors, we do this and we allow this
  61. to happen because we want our monologues and our performance
  62. to be way better than just like the general thing.
  63. Right. So today we're gonna identify some goals and obstacles,
  64. so at the first figure out.
  65. What do I want?
  66. So first I get my character a name because it
  67. says just student or whatever.
  68. So I want my character's name to be Billy.
  69. Billy wants his friend to stay.
  70. That is his goal.
  71. He wants to convince his friend to stay.
  72. That is his goal.
  73. What's in his way?
  74. His parents are saying that he has to move, so
  75. that is an obstacle.
  76. I have to convince Billy or his parents that they
  77. have to stay here.
  78. How do I apply this to my acting right?
  79. I apply both of the goal, which is?
  80. I want my best friend to stay here.
  81. I'm trying to convince my best friend.
  82. And my obstacle is is that it's out of my
  83. control is really on his parents.
  84. And I have to try to convince him that he
  85. has to stay, right?
  86. Yeah. Also, when doing that, I need to identify what
  87. tactics and what are my expectations?
  88. How will I achieve my goal is the tactics.
  89. How? How doe I go for that?
  90. Go. How do I convince Billy what doe I use?
  91. Right. And what do you think will happen so I'll
  92. give you example real quick before I go back to
  93. the monologue.
  94. Whenever you go into a store and you want your
  95. mom to buy some, your goal is to get that
  96. item right.
  97. What should do is you're use very, uh, you use
  98. different tactics to achieve your goal of convincing your mom
  99. to buy that item for you.
  100. Your obstacle is your mom may say, Oh, we may
  101. not have the money or Oh, I'm not gonna buy
  102. that today.
  103. So you gotta think of ways Tactics too, actually.
  104. Convince your mom, Right?
  105. So I may think of persuading my mom so I
  106. may say, Hey, Mom, I want I'm gonna come, uh,
  107. on my back.
  108. I am going to clean up my room for a
  109. week without you having to tell me or Mom, if
  110. you buy me this, you don't have to buy me
  111. nothing later this week or my grades come out really
  112. good. You think of all these different ways to convince
  113. your mom to get that toy.
  114. The same thing applies to active.
  115. Your character has a goal that we look forward throughout
  116. the whole story.
  117. They have different obstacles that come their way.
  118. Whether it's people, places, things, mentalities, physical things, anything could
  119. be an obstacle that stands in your way from achieving
  120. your goal.
  121. The tactics are how you're going to do it.
  122. Expectations is what you expect to happen, I expect for
  123. my friends who stay here, I expect that he will
  124. listen to me and be convinced that he should stay
  125. here. Right.
  126. So I'm gonna try this monologue again, and I'm gonna
  127. think about all those different things.
  128. My goat G o T e My goals, my obstacles,
  129. my taxes, my expectations and applied to the monologue to
  130. see if it sounds better than just me reading it
  131. or just learning my lines.
  132. Here we go.
  133. So Wow, you're lucky you get to go to Boston.
  134. I never get to go anywhere except my room.
  135. We went to Disneyworld once when I was little, but
  136. I don't remember going.
  137. My mom told me When are you coming back?
  138. Never. You mean you're moving away.
  139. But you can't.
  140. You're You're my best friend.
  141. You've got to stay here.
  142. Who am I gonna play with?
  143. Who am I going to go to school with?
  144. Ride bikes with?
  145. No, it's not fair.
  146. I won't let you go.
  147. Maybe you live in my house after Dad.
  148. I know my mom would say Okay, don't go out.
  149. Die. Promise me you won't leave, please.
  150. So you saw when I did it?
  151. This time I had more energy behind it.
  152. I had more expression.
  153. My face.
  154. I was trying to convince him I was pleading with
  155. him. I was in all my emotions off port out
  156. and noticed at the beginning.
  157. I also didn't go into it knowing that he was
  158. about to move right.
  159. At first I was like, Yeah, wow, you're going on
  160. a trip.
  161. But then I let it change when he said that
  162. he wasn't gonna come back.
  163. Right. So that's what you have to do.
  164. As whenever you work on these monologues and different pieces.
  165. How do you let it change your mentality?
  166. And how do we see the different emotions that your
  167. characters go through?
  168. I hope that help.
  169. So today there the game number seven.
  170. What are you doing?
  171. You will start in action and then the person beside
  172. you, Or if you're on Zoom, call the person in
  173. one of the other screens were asked What are you
  174. doing? So I'll start action.
  175. So I may say, and someone may ask, What are
  176. you doing?
  177. And I'll say, brushing my teeth.
  178. Notice. It's the opposite of what I'm doing.
  179. I was chopping wood.
  180. Then that personal start brushing their teeth and then the
  181. next one to be like, What are you doing?
  182. And then they'll say, playing baseball.
  183. Hey, will play baseball, right?
  184. He or she whatever.
  185. So and then you give them different actions from yours.
  186. And that's how you play that game.
  187. What are you doing?
  188. And it has been really, as always, you know, one
  189. on one with Mr Davis.
  190. Thank you, guys.
