Now a Rapper

I have officially re-started my actress life!
Well at least just while I am job searching now.

So on 1/20 I went to a small music video production to do a very special role.
I was rapping in a rap music video!
Oh if my friends would have seen this... me rapping! The sun might as well rise from the west!
But that album with me rapping would probably not sell... I think I better just stick with acting/singing for now.

What I was doing was lip-syncing to the lyrics of the rap song. That's right. Fake, air-rapping - my favorite thing to do!
So for 3 days prior to the shoot, I was practicing the lyrics a lot. I still remember I was just mumbling and playing the rap song while I jogged. As I usually do not listen to rap, it felt pretty cool. I was chilling to the music while I cruised the neighborhood on my feet. Ok, maybe I got a little brain-washed. Even after a week passed I was still rapping inside my brain. But some occasional rap could definitely spice up a boring job-seeker's life!

On the day of the shoot, they said "wear something bright". That was the instruction for wardrobe. I wore a pink classy sweater because I wanted to have that "contrast" of a nice proper Asian girl - but RAPPING! wow!
And so I arrived at the location, which I assume is the director's own apartment. Then of course my wardrobe was not ok. But fortunately I was wearing a hip puffy jacket, which they told me to wear outside my pink sweater. Problem kinda solved!

The shoot was before a blank screen, sitting on a stool. I was like the 11th person. Phew long day for them! The director probably practiced the lines with the other people, but I started pretty smooth, so he was like he didn't need to practice with me.
And I thought the filming went pretty well. At least for me it was pretty smooth. Because I basically got all my lines down. So mostly I could do it in one or two takes. Smug! (that's my favorite line from the song. This is great. I am learning new vocabulary and stimulating brain as well as doing acting!)

I was out in 30 minutes. Great speedy finish! And I will just take the director (African American-ish) 's calling me a "homie girl" as a praise that I did ok!

So ended this kind of fun day! And I liked air-rapping, will do it again any time.
