SakuyaGood morning, Director!
TsuzuruMornin’.
MasumiSleepy.
IzumiGood morning, everyone. Huh? Where’s the manager?
SakuyaHe always eats breakfast at around 12, so I think he’s asleep.
TsuzuruThat’s just the afternoon.
IzumiIs that so. Well then, let’s get started.
SakuyaYes!
IzumiFirst we need to do stretches.
MasumiStretches?
TsuzuruYou need to stretch for acting?
IzumiYou need stamina to make it through multiple performances, and if we’re going to do sword fights and the like, you need to stretch so you won’t hurt yourself.
TsuzuruI see.
IzumiOnce we’re done stretching, we’ll begin vocal exercises. All right, spread out~.
SakuyaYes.
TsuzuruAll righty.
Masumi....Zz.
IzumiMasumi-kun, wake up!
IzumiOkay, now we’re finally moving on to basic acting practice.
It’s your first time, so we’re going to make this a little entertaining—I’ll have you play out some simple etudes.
SakuyaLike a street act?
IzumiYes. I’m going to give each of you a basic character profile, and you’ll all improvise an act together.
SakuyaI’ll give it a shot!
TsuzuruGot it!
Masumi....Zz.
IzumiWake up, Masumi-kun!
Izumi....
(Sakuya-kun is a little awkward, just like yesterday. Tsuzuru-kun is also inexperienced, just like he said; he’s at the same level.)
(As I thought, Masumi-kun is easily the most proficient. I can’t believe he has no experience.)
Okay, stop! We’re pausing for now. I’m changing the set-up again.
MasumiHow was that just now?
IzumiIt was good.
MasumiReally?
IzumiYup.
(I’ll have Sakuya-kun and Tsuzuru-kun try out as many roles as possible so I can figure out what they’re good at.)
Masumi....Zz.
IzumiMasumi-kun, wake up!
MasumiNo motivation.
IzumiEven though I praised you?
MasumiYou didn’t say anything meaningful.
IzumiUu....
(Masumi-kun is good, but it’s hard to point out how specifically; all I can say is that he’s proficient overall.)
(He’s our biggest asset at the moment, so I’m really glad to have him, but... I’ll need to think of exercises from him.)
First I want to figure out each of your characteristic acting traits. So relax and perform in a carefree style.
SakuyaYes!
TsuzuruOk.
Masumi....Zz.
IzumiMasumi-kun!
(We have a lot of troubles ahead of us...)
ManagerAh, Director. Good timing.
IzumiIs something the matter?
ManagerMasumi-kun’s parents got in touch, and approved of his joining the troupe.
IzumiI see. I’m glad.
Were they worried for him?
ManagerI wonder? Their secretary called us and left us a message...
IzumiEeh?
ManagerPretty cold of them, don’t you think?
IzumiYes...
(I wonder what kind of household Masumi-kun comes from...)
