00:33visions did appear. While these visions did appear. Good can you say it louder and
00:38more precisely? While these visions did appear. Yay!
00:52Okay Kennedy are you ready? If these shadows have offended, think but this and all is left.
01:19We're leaving in ten minutes. Are you ready?
01:43Well?
01:44Figures.
01:49How do you do it? You haven't said a word to me since my mom took you in. But now you
01:58have Yale after you? Do you actually speak in class? Or does everybody just feel bad for you?
02:05Well I'm wasting my breath. You're just an extended guest here anyway.
02:12I'm just an extended guest here anyway.
02:19Kennedy, come in.
02:20Kennedy, come in. The Winston
02:46Education Foundation is offering one student a full ride scholarship to the college of their
02:53choice. There's just one thing. You have to interview.
02:59The Winston
03:01What are you doing?
03:02Cof my dream andlines
03:03Guys
03:04Who are you doing?
03:05I'll ask her a question.
03:06I will see you next time for you.
03:08I am the presidential man.
03:09And I'll ask her a question for you.
03:10This is the next couple of the time.
03:11I'll ask her question for you.
03:12I am really laughing.
03:14I want to ask if she was in the first interview.
03:15I will ask her question for you to have to speak.
03:16I guess I would at least sign that says that's Taco about Satan because I don't have a problem.
03:39What about you? Are you going to ask someone to see a nice one?
03:43Hi there. You must be Kennedy. I'm Megan.
03:54We're in here. Good evening everyone. Let's huddle.
04:08So, as always, let's start by saying our names and one thing we're feeling right now.
04:13Hi, my name is Julie and I'm excited to be here.
04:17Hi, I'm Frank and I feel hungry.
04:21Hi, I'm Wendy and just a lot's going on. I don't really want to talk about it.
04:26I'm so sorry, Wendy.
04:32Tanner, why don't you go?
04:34Okay, I'm Tanner. As you all know by now, I've been going through some things that are pretty exciting.
04:38Thank you for staying. I wanted to talk with you before you left tonight.
04:43I watched you today. Being here is difficult for you, isn't it?
04:50If I can ask, what brought you to a theater of all places?
04:56Well, congratulations. May I ask you some personal questions?
05:11Are you able to speak? Is there anyone you're comfortable speaking to?
05:17Have you always had trouble?
05:25When did it start?
05:29It's okay. You don't have to answer that.
05:34I want to help you, Kennedy.
05:37And I think I can.
05:39What do you think about staying after our class every week just to work on a few things?
05:45Can you do that?
06:01Stay here. No matter what you hear, no matter what happens, don't make a sound.
06:08I love you, baby girl.
06:15I have some things for you, Kennedy.
06:19I've been thinking about ways we could communicate during our sessions.
06:25Exhibit A.
06:30I also have this for you.
06:35Have you ever journaled before?
06:37I want you to start writing down your thoughts.
06:41It takes time, it takes practice, and it might not seem important, but it is.
06:47You need to be able to find your voice, and this will give you a start as we prepare for your interview.
06:53You can write about things you think about, or things that move you.
07:06Can you do that?
07:07Excellent. Let's start with eye contact, which is our most important non-verbal form of communication.
07:14Are you able to look at my eyes?
07:19That's okay.
07:21Eye contact is difficult for most people.
07:24Let's take this slower.
07:27Try looking at my chin.
07:31Good.
07:33Now my mouth.
07:35Watch my lips move as I talk.
07:37Good.
07:40Now my eyes.
07:44There you go.
07:46It's a start.
07:47Now I want you to practice in the mirror, or at school, even if it's just for a second.
08:07We're going to do something today that you can use in your final performance.
08:23Without talking, I want you to act out a family.
08:28Can you do that without talking?
08:30What does family mean to you?
08:32How do you show family?
08:37How do you go to officenoitraven, small叻os, small叻os, small叻os?
08:40How do you know.
08:42How many times do you know?
08:44Cool.
08:46We're going to talk together.
08:47Could you touchđate them?
08:48Clearly.
08:50Can you hear are supposed to be able to put them into a wheelchair,
08:51And what is okay?
08:52Merrily while you are saying that.
08:53Keep seeing what people were playing without acknowledging the wheelchair.
08:54Your pleasure could see what was понад warehouse.
08:55It was fav specific characters at this time.
08:57Unlike the university, I did have been well- посто Harris and I waswerkriet.
08:59So you have to provide attention with handcuffs of cavityiras.
09:02That's a distinct example that every day.
09:04僕 got this, I may not grind.
09:05Hold on.
09:13Keep going, Kennedy.
09:14I noticed your eye contact today.
09:37I'm impressed.
09:39That's a tough one.
09:40And the board is certainly helpful.
09:47Are you comfortable sharing what you've written this week in your journal?
09:57I see.
09:59Well, don't give up on it, Kennedy.
10:02Maybe just write about your day or your private thoughts, but you need to hold up your end of the bargain.
10:07So, back to it.
10:11Your interview will be here before we know it.
10:13And our next step is posture.
10:18So, as we discussed, sit up straight.
10:24Good.
10:25Now, shoulders back.
10:26When you're getting ready for the interview, you want to raise your eyebrows.
10:40You want to lift those up.
10:41Good.
10:42Right.
10:46At least do some exercises.
10:47So, we're going to go.
11:05Good.
11:05I have something you might be interested in, we're what, a week away from the big day?
11:26I thought this might be more practical than a whiteboard.
11:28You want to try it out?
11:35I figured this would be a good alternative to talking, just in case.
11:43How's your journal writing coming?
11:48Nothing.
11:49I know it's difficult, but I can't help you if you won't try.
11:54Between your mind and your mouth is a barrier that you're going to have to push through, but it's going to be a struggle.
12:05I read the report, Kennedy.
12:10I know.
12:12It's a miracle you're doing this well, but you can't keep blaming yourself.
12:17You can do this.
12:19You just have to take the first step.
12:24Anyway, I have a few practice questions for you, if you're ready.
12:30Please tell me a few of your greatest strengths.
12:34As you know, the Winston Scholarship Foundation is giving one student from your school a full-ride scholarship to any college.
12:40You're here because of your outstanding academic record.
12:43I have to say, we've been looking forward to meeting you for some time now, Ms. Blythe.
12:47So if there's no additional questions, we'll go ahead and get started.
12:50Are you ready?
12:53Please state your name.
13:04Please state your name.
13:09What did you see?
13:14What did you hear?
13:15Can you tell us anything about what happened?
13:18Kennedy, freeze.
13:19No matter what happens, don't make a sound.
13:27I said, can you tell us about yourself?
13:33Ms. Blythe, if you can't answer our questions, we're going to have to move on.
13:38We're going to have to move on.
14:08I decided to frap the world, but I would like to ask you to ask yourself in particular.
14:09What can I find here?
14:10I see a test.
14:11In the next scene?
14:12Nothing.
14:13Amazingですね
14:14There's no turn.
14:16I jeden Much.
14:18peers who've waited.
14:23Today, you're some person sitting here last night.
14:28I dedicate this performance
14:57to the last person
14:58to hear me.
15:01Silence has been
15:02the most comforting
15:03but cruelest companion.
15:06It has kept me safe
15:07but kept me from success.
15:09It's kept me from offending anyone
15:11but I have no friends to offend.
15:14But cruelest of all,
15:15silence has kept me
15:16from expressing
15:17what I need to say most.
15:20I miss you.
15:24I missed your hand
15:25walking me to my new school.
15:28I missed your fury
15:29when my foster parents hurt me.
15:32I missed the proud look
15:33on your face
15:34when I aced my SATs.
15:37I missed how you would
15:39hold me all night
15:40in my small bed
15:41when I had bad dreams.
15:43How every day
15:44you wore that cheap necklace
15:45I gave you when I was six
15:47even though it made
15:48your neck turn green.
15:49I missed painting nails
15:52snuggling by the fire
15:54having a study partner
15:56for tests
15:57practicing recitals
15:59in front of you
16:00having a shoulder
16:01to cry on
16:02after getting my heart broken.
16:07More than anything else
16:08I just miss you
16:10because even in my silence
16:14I always knew
16:16you could hear me.
16:19I never thought you would
16:21do anything else

17:15Good day everyone. I hate to start class with some bad news, but as you can see, we are booked.
17:22So if you're on the waiting list, probably not going to be added.
17:26However, there is some good news. Anyone who is registered but isn't here today will be dropped.
17:34Roll call has never before been so intense.
17:40Okay. Ainz? Here. Alcott? Here. Asher? Here. Blythe? Blythe? Kennedy Blythe? Here.
