Hi. My name is Cora. And today I will be doing a sad slash angry monologue for a character, um to test no, to demonstrate the emotion I can convey in my voice. So here we go. I will be reading a monologue called One Way Conversation written by Joseph Are none. And here we go. You don't understand. You don't ever hear what I'm trying to say to you. It's always a one way conversation. First you come to me and complain about all the things you think I'm not doing. And you do this to get me angry because you think getting me angry is going to somehow make me work harder for what I want in life. And you're wrong. I'm sorry, but you're so wrong. That's not the way to help move me forward. It's not. Can't you ever just beat my friend and support me by giving me encouragement? Do you have any idea how impossible what I'm going after already is, do you? It's so damn hard and I can use some kindness, just some My mother, You know, I, I ask of you, is to stop trying to to get so damn strategy oriented with me. And instead, just work with me. Give me some sound advice if you have any, because coming down on me doesn't help. I'm not asking you to be hand feed me, but be there for me the way I need you to be there. You happy now? You know what's bothering me? Okay, So next I will be doing a happier monologue. So that was kind of a sad, angry mixed. Now I'll be doing happy monologue. Here we go. This one is called happy with a failure by D. M. Larson. Sometimes you're given everything and it means nothing. My parents gave me all the lessons, all the support, everything I needed to succeed is a classically trained musician. But somehow I was left feeling empty. I suddenly realized that what I was doing had nothing to do with me but everything to do with them. I spent most of my life doing things for others, trying to figure out what other people wanted me to dio. I was always guessing at what might make my parents happy. My friends happy. I never asked myself what would make me happy. I was so worried about people not liking me, and I was thinking I was selfish. But being selfless can leave a person feeling less empty and without identity. So I finally got tired of all of it and quit. Quit everything. Quit the symphony, quit the social pressure. Quit worrying about what my parents thought of me. I found out who my real friends were and who could appreciate me for me, not for what I can do or what I could do for them. And you know what I realized? After I thought a little bit about myself, I realized I wanted to be a rock star. I know it's crazy, but it's something I could get excited about. It's something that makes me feel alive. And even if I fail, at least I tried and at least I was happy. How many people can say that they're happier with a failure than a success? All right, that's really all I had. Thank you for listening and have a fantastic day
