im so sorry! i really wish i could go but this is a no go. may would work best for me.

Taikei · « **Reply #102 on:** March 30, 2011, 10:26:41 pm »

Ugh..so many probs. I say we all just get on a huuge facebook chat sometime. :/ Oh, and maybe post pics of ourselves in wigs and make up/ outfits?

Then write a script here and all of us practice our parts separately until we can all get together and reherse.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #103 on:** March 30, 2011, 10:54:13 pm »

Good idea.

If everyone could PM me there FB names so I can send out a mass-message!

And it looks like all we need is a Mori now, and possibly a Nekozawa.

Taikei · « **Reply #104 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:49:19 pm »

I figure that this way, even if we don't meet up for a while we can at least begin to memorize our lines. Wigs will probably have to be seen in person if we think they need minor fixing but outfits should be easy to see in photos.

We can even kind of rehearse online by typing out our lines to eachother on chat without looking at the script if we want. It's not a replacement for a rehersal but it's adequite practice, yes?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #105 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:56:05 pm »

Very well ^^
And I agree. I figure we can do that through June and then get together during the summer when most of us shouldn't have many conflicts.

steelychan · « **Reply #106 on:** March 30, 2011, 11:57:18 pm »

does it really matter if the uniforms all dont match? I mean, i kinda found my jacket at goodwill and some people bought theirs online. If you want, I can have kristi take a look at my hunny wig at some point before con (just not the next couple weeks. anything after april 17th is fine). I see no reason why we cant just make a page on fb and just communicate that way.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #107 on:** March 31, 2011, 12:01:39 am »

Maybe...Yeah, I'll do that. Make a group so we can start talking and such.

And it wouldn't matter if the uniforms were fairly close to eachother, but I have a feeling that that wont be the case. That can be something do is take a picture in our uniform with different lighting so we can get a feel for what they'll look like.

Though, we could probably just not wear the blazers, that way we wouldn't have to worry. The worse is that our ties wouldn't match (unless I make them all >>).

steelychan · « **Reply #108 on:** March 31, 2011, 12:04:27 am »

well, if you make them all, i can help out with at least putting the stripe on or something. im basically free labor. if everyone pitches in and gives enough money to at least pay for the ties, that would help. I bought mine at ross for like $10.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #109 on:** March 31, 2011, 12:12:14 am »

I actually painted the stripe on mine. It looks more apart of the tie that way.

And yeah, I'd ask everyone to get their own black tie. Either giving me money to buy them or get one of their own.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #110 on:** March 31, 2011, 12:22:13 am »

Facebook group is up!
Those of you who I don't have friended, just go here and request to join the group. Just tell me who are are please!

Kori123 · « **Reply #111 on:** March 31, 2011, 10:54:04 am »

When I clicked the link I couldn't find the group...

As for lines. I don't think we should have line-lines. Maybe just a rough outline of what we want to do. Other wise it goes from being improve and fun to being more a chore to do a performance. I know for me at least, when I try to memorize lines, I over think things and just mess the whole thing up.

Taikei · « **Reply #112 on:** March 31, 2011, 11:56:22 am »

Well, the thing is that all of the improv host clubs I've seen have been sloppy D: I figure a little improv is okay..but that would have to be between the lines of the script. We want to look professional right? Would it look great if all of were standing around stuck on what to say? I think we can have fun with the script, since we're all contributing...but I paid to go to a host club, and the firt half of it was just them running around and talking to eachother about what the hell to do.

This is a 'performance' kind of panel anyway. It's supposed to be 'teaching' people how to be a host instead of just doing an actual host club panel, so I think at least moderate to maximum scripting is neccessary to get things to move along smoothly. You might not have to say the lines word for word..but something along the general lines would be great.

It might be an added effort to write and learn a script, but the performance would be much better for it.

Kori123 · « **Reply #113 on:** March 31, 2011, 01:42:13 pm »

That's kind of what I was saying. We don't want it to be just a 'show up and go' kind of host panel. But I don't want us to get so wrapped up in lines it becomes not as fun. Especially for the funny lines and such. Say a funny lines so many times and it becomes less funny ya know? Plus the more improv it is (in my opinion) the more fun it can be. Instead of us sitting there being all 'oh yeah and in five more minutes this person will say this line and I'll have to react like this...' it's more a 'they're suppose to be saying something like this and we're suppose to react like this...'

It's hard for me to really explain it. I just don't think it would be as fun for anyone if we're so strict on things.

Taikei · « **Reply #114 on:** March 31, 2011, 02:28:44 pm »

How many panels are we planning on having? I figured it would be one time, maybe twice at the most.

ElVerde · « **Reply #115 on:** March 31, 2011, 02:37:39 pm »

~~Never fear, Tamaki has arrived!~~

=n=; Hey guys. Sorry about not posting... ever. I never come on to the forums.

I agree with Kori about the not strict lines. Having an outline of stuff we should bring up, and then the rest improv would allow more freedom and make everything feel more natural than having to memorize every line and reaction.

Well, then just tell me your name and I'll friend you and then add you...
Since FB is apparently being a butt XP

And as far as a script or not, there needs to be a plan of action.
Pretty much what all of you are saying. We'll plan out how it will go and maybe figure out some lines to start topics and reactions and such.
The biggest problem with improve is you might get too many people trying to talk at once.

Kori123 · « **Reply #117 on:** March 31, 2011, 02:54:23 pm »

It doesn't have to be 100% improve. I just think it's tough to expect people to know all their lines and what not. We're not all amazing professional actors. If someone misses a line or changes it completely, the others might end up lost and confused and then we'll be just sitting there looking like idiots while we try to figure out what line we're on, ya know?

Taikei · « **Reply #118 on:** March 31, 2011, 02:58:08 pm »

@Kristi: or have no one talking at all. Lol. There are those people too. Like I know that If I don't have a script and know whose turn it is to talk..i'd flip and prolly pass out if I had to try and come up with something on my own in front of an audience expecting to be entertained

Kori123 · « **Reply #119 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:04:33 pm »

But I think if you're in character enough, you shouldn't have to like...constantly be trying to entertain them. So long as your in character the whole time, I don't think it'll matter what we're doing. Script or not.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #120 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:12:14 pm »

*sigh*
We'll work things out.
If anything, Savanah and I will probably have script of somesort. Sadly we can't read minds and so we need to work on saying things at the same time...

Also...
PLEASE FRIEND ME ON FACEBOOK!
Just look up Kristi Pandawoo, I have my Riku cosplay as my profile pic. And when you send the request, please tell me who you are. Thanks~

Kori123 · « **Reply #121 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:16:03 pm »

I wish we could read minds...

I'm not saying not have a script and follow it. I just don't think we should be so wrapped up in them that we lose the point of having fun and such. I went to this panel at Kcon two years ago that was the ultimate Naruto fan or something. And it was a TON of fun and none of it was rehearsed or scripted or anything. They were just comfortable enough with the characters and situation that everyone had fun.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #122 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:22:45 pm »

Not saying that we'll have a full script that we will follow word for word.

We will create a plan on the topics we want to cover and how long we want to stay on each topic, and under each topic we'll have some lines that people can say or work off of if there is an awkward silence.

And I say we need to script the opening, but that's it.

Kori123 · « **Reply #123 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:42:53 pm »

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #124 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:45:21 pm »

I'm not sure if i'll show up as Nekozawa....I have so many cosplay plans already and i don't really feel like bringing another cosplay that i'll only wear for a short while.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #125 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:57:30 pm »

Kori, thank you...So are we done talking about that, please...
(and I don't think I have you friended on FB, so please send me a note so I can add you in the group)

Saki, that's fine.

Kori123 · « **Reply #126 on:** March 31, 2011, 04:24:34 pm »

I sent the request a little while ago...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #127 on:** March 31, 2011, 04:41:13 pm »

Sorry, my comp was being a butt...
But I got you both!

steelychan · « **Reply #128 on:** March 31, 2011, 06:37:43 pm »

so, all of my hunny pictures are on my page but ill have to get onto a different comp to get the actual pictures and post them. and i agree with kirsti, lets just have some sort of script to follow and script the beginning. also, shouldnt we work on rehearsing in front of a "panel" audience? get some hardcore fans or something to see what kind of reactions we'll get. i think after this year i'll retire hunny (im getting tired of ouran)

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #129 on:** March 31, 2011, 07:10:23 pm »

oh no how dare you

I think a script to use as guidlines will do greatly but not the whole thing.
Like the Pirate Code, its more like guidlines in the words of Captin Barbossa.

steelychan · « **Reply #130 on:** March 31, 2011, 07:11:21 pm »

but then i can get my kaoru act down.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #131 on:** March 31, 2011, 09:59:00 pm »

Agreed. We'll probably have a meet up later in the summer where other people can come to give their feed back and such.

Also Teddy, I'm sorry to say, but you haven't been very active with this, so Kori is going to be Haruhi.
Plus it will work better since she knows that Tamaki personally.

Kori123 · « **Reply #132 on:** March 31, 2011, 10:08:28 pm »

I'll do my best for Haruhi. I guess it would be nice since I do know Tamaki personally...and don't mind beating her from time to time... -cough cough-

Ten-Ten · « **Reply #133 on:** April 01, 2011, 09:26:41 am »

It sounds like everyone is all thinking of the same thing. just a basic outline with a few key points for the whole panel. specific subjects, which host leads which subject. that kind of thing sounds like it would be best. and of course just cause one host is leading a topic doesn't mean the rest are sitting in the back looking bored. it's just so we the actors know what the subjects are we are talking about in the panel and teaching the people who want to be a host. even improv professionals always have a outline to fall back on in case they get stuck. it will give the panel a more natural flow and we have a safety net. Just an idea.
