    Act in English: Practice a scene with me

    Are you ready to act in English? In this podcast, I’ll guide you through a scene from the play The Rabbit Hole, where you’ll get to practice key elements of English like pronunciation, emotion, and flow by reading along with me. Watch the video version with the script here: https://bit.ly/4eDz9mJ Download the PDF of the script here https://bit.ly/48TSuPo or read along with me below: BECCA: Ridiculous, right? Nine weeks pregnant. In a bar. Drinking. HOWIE: You said she wasn’t drinking. BECCA: No, she said. But you know Izzy. Plus the place was probably clogged with cigarette smoke. HOWIE: Not anymore. Clean Indoor Air Act. BECCA: She was in Yonkers. You think they enforce that in Yonkers? HOWIE: I wouldn’t worry about it. If the babies in France turn out okay, I’m sure this one’ll be fine too. BECCA: You think this is funny, Howie? HOWIE: Of course not. But you need to relax about it. Izzy could be right. BECCA: About what? HOWIE: The baby, getting her on track. It can wake a person up. It did us. BECCA: She was bragging about a bar fight. HOWIE: It wasn’t a bar fight. BECCA: They were in a bar! Fighting! HOWIE: Izzy hit someone, she didn’t get into a fight. Blows were never exchanged. BECCA: What is your point? It’s okay for a pregnant woman to be punching people? HOWIE: Well so long as they don’t punch her back, it’s probably all right. BECCA: What are you—? Why are you defending her? HOWIE: I’m not. I just think it’s silly to get worked up about it. BECCA: I’m not worked up. I’m just saying. HOWIE: You’re right, it’s a mess, but what can we do? Maybe it’ll be fine. Izzy’s not a moron. Okay, she acts like one sometimes but... A baby can be good for a person. BECCA: I know that, Howie. HOWIE: Alright then.
