I'm auditioning for the part of a corpse tomorrow. The role calls for me to lie motionless in a bed. Shooting is expected to take no more than a morning. I've been asked to give my thoughts on the character's background...
In the meantime, I've picked up a cough. The question is whether I'll die of it- which would make my playing of the part more realistic - or whether during filming I'll erupt with unexpected expectoration. I'll keep you posted.
Sounds interesting. I recently saw a woman play a dead grandmother on Waterloo Road, but you could see her chest move as she breathed. Usually they are very still though. I hope you don't need to cough during it!
