Like The First Time

And it feels like the first time
Like it never did before
Feels like the first time
Like we’ve opened up the door
Feels like the first time
Like it never will again
Never again

[Chorus]
(Feels like the first time)
It feels like the first time
(It feels like the very first time)
Very first, feels
(It feels like the first time)
Oh, it feels like the first time
(Feels like the very first time) -song, “Feels Like The First Time” by Foreigner

“Wandering about saying the lines over and over and over and over so that you can eventually give an impression of spontaneity. That’s the job.” -Bill Nighy

For the actor…

No one ever forgets their first time. Including the audience.

You must act as if you’re saying and hearing these lines for the very first time. Besides being the strongest and most vulnerable choice, it’s the craft. It’s the job.

The audience paid good money and sacrificed considerable time to come see this exciting story get told. To watch you make huge discoveries in the process.

Give them a first time they’ll never forget.
