Yes, Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. The greatest 90's show out there! We knew it was going to be difficult re-enacting the characters from the show but we were confident in playing these characters. Based on our personalities and whom we were comfortable on playing, I have chosen to play Hilary Banks. For those who don't know the character, Hilary Banks (played by Karyn Parsons on far left of image) is mainly the spoiled, snobby and ditzy member of the family. It was somewhat hard for me to adapt to her character because since everyone from Soul Visionary Productions knew who she was, it was more pressure on me to play her character correctly. But the day of presentations, I went and did the best that I could, but it wasn't really successful. My characterization was there but my showcase wasn't. Our quadrant tried our best to adapt to the character to the best of our abilities, but playing another character that everyone is so used to seeing is extremely difficult because you are signing yourself up for the audience to be really entertained. And when you don't have that IT factor, like the actual show, then your scene will become a bust. Therefore, our scene wasn't really what we planned but it was fun trying something new, and this vintage experience was really interesting, and I would never ask for anything better. The other scenes were amazing, and it got me to see all the different styles that the 60's and the 80's has had. It made me realize that fashion has been in our century for years and it changes more significantly every time. But overall the experience has taught me something, which Soul Visionary Productions teaches me something new everyday which I am grateful for.
