Jenn Proske: 5 Tips To Impersonate Kristen Stewart

nlaracy — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 20:25:18 +0000

I have to say it’s Kristin Stewart as Bella first of all. I didn’t watch Kristen Stewart in interviews or anything like that, I just watched her Bella. When I got to Shreveport, Louisiana where we were filming Vampires Suck, I talked to the directors and we realized that we wanted to treat this as seriously as as if I had booked the role of Bella in Twilight. So my own personal approach was that I reread the book and I kind of approached it as if I had booked Bella, and I took notes on what it was like when she met Edward and went to school and everything like that.

I wanted to add Kristin Stewart’s mannerism and vocal patterns, so I watched the movie literally honestly over 100 times. I changed my voice for the part I speak in a much lower register than I actually talk. And I changed my mannerism and my speech patterns and I wanted to layer Kristin Stewart on top of that so it would be recognizable.

How To Impersonate Kristen Stewart? Here are five tips:

1) Cast your eyes down

2) Let your shoulders sink

3) Bite your lip

4) Push your hair your ear and twitch a little bit

And most importantly…

5) Break up your speech so its breathy to achieve that not quite getting out sentences in a fully eloquent manner.

Jenn Proske: Mentor Mom

nlaracy — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:00:57 +0000

Both my parents are artists. My mom was a professional dancer and my dad’s a visual artists, so I grew up in this very tight-knit theatrical community. I’ve been an actor since I was six. I’m not very well versed in sports or that because theatre has always been a great path. In high school, my family went through really difficult financial issues and I had to work at the same time as act, and when I juggled that and really realized that I needed to make a job out of acting. That was definitely a pivotal moment.

My mom is my best friend and my mentor and my personal coach. I think she’s the most hardworking generous wonderful human being. She gives me all the mantras of keeping positive, and reinforces why I’m doing this and that I’m doing the right thing.

I went to see Vampires Suck in the theater with my mom. Knowing that my mom has been there every step of the way since I was six-years-old playing Ticklish the Dwarf in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She’s just been like my Number mentor, cheerleader, everything, support team, best friend. It was really cool to see it with her. She’s really proud and I’m proud to have done this for her in her honor and it was amazing.

I did get recognized in the theater. I had to sign a bunch of teenage boy’s arms. It was really cool.

Jenn Proske: Vampires Suck

nlaracy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:04:27 +0000

Vampires Suck is basically a parody of Twilight and New Moon and of the entire vampire pop culture phenomenon going on right now. It follows the arc of my character Becca Crane, who’s this angsty, insecure teenage girl. And it revolves around this dangerous love triangle that she gets herself in with a vampire and a werewolf. And it’s kind of all the ups and downs of what happens when you fall in love with dangerous people.

The whole thing has been a whirlwind. I moved to LA in late October early November and I started auditioning full time. And then in February I had this week that was absolutely jammed packed full of auditions and the last one of the week was for Vampires Suck, but I was actually called in for the role of Iris, which is the Alice Cullen character and I really wasn’t quite ready for that, but I just did my best and gave it my all and I didn’t hear from them for two weeks, but then I was called in all of a sudden for the role of Becca which was the lead. And I had to go in for about seven callbacks and then late Friday night I got a call stating I had booked it and that I was flying out on Tuesday to start shooting.

So it was literally four days. I booked my first job and I flew out and my whole world turned upside down and it’s been like an amazing fantastic whirlwind every since. I’m incredibly honored that this is how I start my career in Hollywood. It’s a dream come true.

Introducing Jenn Proske From Vampires Suck

nlaracy — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:01:41 +0000

“I don’t think I could have dreamed it to be honest,” says Jenn Proske (rhymes with mosque) of her recent good fortune, and her story is almost too good to be true. Jenn worked as a floral designer in Orange County before moving to LA last November, when just four months later she landed the lead role of Becca Crane in the Fox parody film Vampires Suck. She turned in a wickedly funny impersonation of Kristen Stewart, with every bite, breath and twitch impeccably delivered. A proud spokeswoman for her Slovenian background, Jenn credits her supportive mom for her success. She loves listening to Carole King, and even keeps a framed copy of Tapestry on her wall. This Girl2Watch is living the dream.

Stella Maeve: Rapid Fire

nlaracy — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:00:56 +0000

In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy Stella Maeve!

My motto is… live each day like it’s your last.

I can’t stand it when… people chew really loudly with their mouth agape.

Hollywood is… really intense. I think it’s whatever you want to make it. That’s what I think. Hollywood is what you make it.

My best friend is… my mom..

I’m inspired… When I wake up and take a deep breath, and I think life inspires me. Life is really inspiring. To be alive, to be breathing, to watch a really amazing performance is very inspiring, to see beautiful film and to see things that, I don’t know, different things that travel – all of it. I think life is inspiring.

Success is… waking up and being happy every morning, whatever, even if I end up working at McDonalds; as long as I’ve got a smile.

Never trust a man who… has a soul patch.

I couldn’t live without… sunshine.

I’m not very good at… interviews!

Stella Maeve: Try Everything Once

nlaracy — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:00:40 +0000

I think that helping the Earth is a big, big thing. I recycle. When I go grocery shopping, I bring my burlap sack, my burlap bags. In L.A., you see it a lot more than New York, but I definitely see more and more people doing it, making a difference and every little bit helps. Don’t use plastic bags. If you can afford it, buy a Prius. Whatever you can do to help. Ride a bike.

Try new and different things that you wouldn’t normally do and go check it out. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to do it again, but just something different. Mix it up. Always look for something new to try. Venice Beach has a drum circle every Saturday. I like to go do that. I bring my hand drum and I play. I just think it’s important to listen to music and fill your mind with other things. I really like to paint. I just bought some charcoals too to try to do some charcoal artwork on a canvas.

I try everything once and if I don’t like it, I won’t do it again. Same with food – my dad was a chef and he always taught me try everything once, and if you don’t like it, don’t eat it again. Snake was the craziest thing I’ve tried. It tastes like chicken.

Here’s Stella talking about the environment:

Stella Maeve: Dating Philosophy

nlaracy — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:01:02 +0000

I think the best thing to do is to surround yourself with positive people; people that have a good energy and want to live life and smile. When you spend so much time around people that aren’t lifting you up or making you feel like these things are possible, it’s a waste of everyone’s time. It’s not a good feeling. Surround yourself with people that you have fun with, you can go on adventures with, you can hang out with. Not just go out to a nightclub, but go to the beach. Go on a hike in Malibu.

The nights that I don’t want to go out and I end up going somewhere cool, I end up meeting the coolest person in the world. I think it happens when you least expect it. I think meeting somebody you like will happen when you’re totally not looking for it. I think when you’re focused on yourself and your career is when the most amazing person comes along.

Deal breakers? A guy that takes longer to get ready than me. I think someone that’s very vain and takes life too seriously is a deal breaker for me. I think you need to just have fun with it. It’s all about the ride. My mom always says, “It’s not about getting there; it’s about how you get there.”

Also, I would never date another actor. I’ve tried it. It never ends up well. But dating a producer, or a photographer, or DP, that’s cool, because they get the industry, but they’re not competing with you.
