Monologues will help you get better at memorization, character study, and auditioning. When searching for monologues you can search online but be weary of which monologues you find. Casting directors don't want to see you perform the same monologue that four other people have performed. This happens when people simply find monologues online. Instead, find one that you like from one of the plays you've read. Go over your monologue and scan it. Meaning you should break down the beats, and know your objective. This is where the twelve guideposts come in handy. Find the places in your monologue where you can hit each one. Know where you are, who you are talking to, who you are, what you need, etc. If you truly want to improve your ability as an actor, you should have roughly four monologues. Have four that you practice frequently and have scanned and memorized. These are monologues that you could perform at any time with no preparation. You should have two that are humorous and two that are dramatic. One of each should be contemporary and the other classical. Classes and studying acting is a great way to dissect and build your skill. But auditioning for shows is also extremely valuable to improving. When you audition you get to act in a way that will allow you to better understand where your skills lie. You'll see what you need to further work on. Auditions are important for not only getting your face and name out there; but for getting some practice in. An audition usually consists of cold reading a scene, performing a monologue, or both. Auditions will help you to get better at making decisions in a scene quickly and in the moment. You won't have a lot of time to scan your lines, but learning to operate well with that lack of time will help you grow. Go to as many auditions as you can. You can do a search in your area for theatre or film auditions and sign up. Or, ask your teachers where the best place to find auditions is. If an audition goes well and you get cast, then you know you are on a path that is helping you improve your skill. During your audition, treat it as if it's opening night. You should use everything you have to fully immerse yourself in the character and make strong choices. If making strong choices is hard for you, auditioning will help you improve that skill. Recording yourself can be a good exercise for identifying your quirks and pinpointing areas you need to improve on. Set up a camera and record yourself doing a monologue or a scene with a partner. You may not like how you look or how you sound, but that's ok. Take notes on what you are doing, how much or little you are moving, and if you believe your performance. Watching yourself perform with an objective eye can really show you what you need to work on. Perhaps you don't enunciate enough or you're always touching your face. Maybe your movements are too big and unrealistic. Write down the areas you want to improve. Then go back and try it again. With so much technology and resources available to us, it's easy to create your own production, whether it's film or on stage. You can rent out a small theatre space and put up your own play or get some camera equipment and shoot a web series. Doing the work yourself will give you a new viewpoint on your craft. When you put up your own production you challenge yourself to do your best work. Having something that you've created and that others will see can help you develop your own style and become a better actor. You'll find through the process what you like and don't like. What works for you and what doesn't. And because it's on you, you know you won't slack off or phone it in.

To get Luigi, you'll need to have Mario unlocked already. There's no exception to this rule you simply can't get Luigi as Wario, unless you do a glitch, since he's the last character you can unlock. Don't forget to switch to Mario before starting this process if you haven't already done so. To unlock Mario, you'll need to have eight stars. Jump into the Mario portrait in the room connected to the minigame room as Yoshi, then battle the Goomboss in the level you're transported to. Once you defeat him, you'll get the Mario key. As Mario, head to the castle's courtyard. From the castle foyer, this is located through the plain wooden doors and down the long hallway. You'll know you're going the right way if you see a Boo (ghost) in the hallway. Once you're in the backyard, start killing Boos until one drops a metal cage. Then after you've already beaten the Big Boo, bump into the cage to enter Big Boo's Haunt. Note that you'll need to collect the first star in Big Boo's Haunt before you can get Luigi. The stairway to the second floor of the mansion (where the entrance to Luigi's level is located) only appears from the second star onward. Select the second star (or, if you have access to them, one of the stars after it). When the level starts, run into the mansion in front of you. Climb the staircase to the second floor and enter the door on the far right. You should enter a room with a raised wooden platform and a red "?" block. Break open the red "?" block. Mario should swell up like a balloon and start to float toward the ceiling. Float into the enclave and head through the door. Note that you can press the "R" button on the DS to cancel out of the floating move. In the Nintendo 64 version, getting up here proved quite challenging many first-timers weren't aware of this door at first and had trouble getting to it once they found it. However, in the DS version, the balloon block makes this much, much easier. In the next room, you should see a large portrait of Luigi. You know what to do hop into the painting!

Cast-iron skillets are recommended for the best results, but you can use any frying pan you have. If you are using a cast-iron pan, you can speed up the heating process by placing it into a preheated 350 F (176 C) oven for about 20 minutes and removing it with an oven mitt. Starting with a piping hot cast-iron pan is key. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pan. Don't use more than 1 tablespoon (0.5 ounces). If your oil smokes, your pan is a little too hot. Take it off the burner for a couple minutes and try again. When the beads of oil spread evenly and shine, the pan is ready for cooking! Place your patty in the middle of the pan and let it cook. Your burger patty will sizzle once it hits the pan and it might even smoke. This is good. Cook it for about 4 minutes. Resist the urge to poke and prod at your patty. Don't push it down into the pan. Leaving your patty alone will allow for it to form a delicious thick crust that will seal in the flavor. Once and only once, when you see the underside starting to turn brown, flip your burger. Cook for an additional 4 minutes on the other side. The last few minutes of cooking is the perfect time to add a slice of cheese. Place a slice of cheese onto your patty and let it get perfectly melted in the last minute or so of cooking. Your burger is medium-rare at an internal temperature of 130 to 135 F (55 to 57 C). Your burger is medium at an internal temperature of 135 to 150 F (57 to 65 C). Your burger is medium well at an internal temperature of 150 to 165 F (65 to 74 C). Your burger is well done at an internal temperature of 165 F (74 C) or greater.
