Back Pocket Character

"Granny" is my strongest character that I enjoy performing. This is a character that allows me to be flexible because I have the opportunity to play any kind of "granny". In Mrs. Thomas' Productions i normally play the church granny. And in other productions I could play a unsaved granny, a knitting granny, a crazy granny and etc.  Many people may ask how I do it and honestly i don't even know myself. My Drama Teacher (Mrs. Thomas) tells me that it is hard for many other actors to play an old women.
I know that actors have to get into the moment when they are ready to perform. Nevertheless when I a performing as a granny sometime I don't feel like I'm "getting in the moment" It just feels natural. And I think I feel that way because I used the skill of method acting. Since I was in grade 7 I remember that I would be telling stories as an old granny to my friends during our luchtime. In addition I also played that character throughout presentations in middle school and drama performances in highschool. I have been buildind, developing and enhancing the character of a granny through-out mylife. Therefore, since I have developing this character for years it has become natural to me and that is why I find it easy to perform the character of a granny.
The other day my mother tried to convince me that I was born with the talent of performing an old lady because she did the same thing at my age. And even though it seems weird, I also find it cool how my mother was mini actor in her years. And she should be proud that she raised a talented girl... who is just like herself!
