    this is the acting part. YOU need to decide, along with your director or coach, how to interpret sogs.

    and dont go for chices like "sadness with a hint of anger"

    it isnt a cooking recipe. figure out your character's objectives and whattactics they are using to obtain those objectives and the emotions will come from there.

    trying to "show emotion" is the worst type of high school acting.
