Transvestia

reason for my wanting to learn to sound 100% feminine...I told her I've done a great deal of female impersonation as a dancer--and took some of my pictures to prove it--then I proceeded to tell her that a great opportunity was looming in my horizon: an imperson- ator's part in a Spanish language series to be filmed and packaged for the Latin American TV market. I said that the producer of the show was quite pleased with my impersonation work but had told me that I MUST add a voice to go with the physical appearance... that this is absolutely necessary for total realism.--My teacher nod- ded agreement and said: “For you to speak like a woman - I will help you to create a woman's mind--good acting means living the part you are taking." So...we'll start with reading sessions in which I'll be Susanna, the actress. ---What made my first session a real thrill (and mind you, it was my twin brother who was there) was to be introduced to the student that arrived for his lesson, just as I was leaving...my teacher said to him: "Ted, I want you to meet "MISS Valenti"--She talks like a man now but in a few weeks she'll get her true voice back."-- I could have kissed her then and there...And as you probably guess, it won't be long be- fore I start taking those lessons dressed. What won't we actresses do for the sake of realism in art! --But seriously, I feel that when- ever we do something we should strive to do the very best that we are capable of...there is always room for improvement...and it is not as difficult as you may think to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
