I spent 6 solid hours under bright, hot stage lights. It took 360 minutes to execute 345 lines, saying things like this:
226. Have you got the bad guy? 227. Yes, I have got the bad guy. 237. Somebody has to do it. 280. Do you go home? 322. I have my voice heard. 326. I have my facial done. 336. You are going to have your job lost.
Now, not all of the lines were this grammatically dysfunctional, or forced. After all, I was shooting a video for “relaxed” English.
I felt relaxed on certain lines, like:
17. Did you go to the crime scene at that time? 85. I will be taking you to my factory in China. 100. Your English comes up to the standard. 140. I will be sending the goods to your office by nine tomorrow.
Well, maybe not.
But I did learn a few things through this whole production:
- Don’t question the producer or the director. It simply wastes time.
- Styling clay is my new favorite beauty product.
- I have a “sweet” voice.
- I feel really bad for people learning English as a second language.
