The 2 week long workshop by actress Lee Sunha has finally come to an end, and the impact of these 2 weeks on Yoomyeong’s life is insane. Yoomyeong has now gotten closer with other members of the Oedipus group, and he has also developed a sense of appreciation for this group.
Now that Lee Sunha’s workshop has come to an end, it’s time for another instructor to lead the Oedipus group. This time the instructor is none other than the famous actor Yoon Hansung! What new developments will happen in Yoomyeong’s life due to this change? We’ll see in The Genius Actor’s Aura Chapter 20!
The Genius Actor’s Aura Chapter 19 opens up with Shin Yoomyeong walking toward his class while thinking about all that happened after the end of actress Lee Sunha’s workshop.
A 2 week long acting workshop continued after the end of Lee Sunha’s workshop, with 6 hours allocated to 3 instructors every day.
Recap
The 2-week long class has individual assignments to improve characterization, a body workshop to optimize physical balance, two-person compositions for drawing natural emotions like empathy, and 4 person compositions to elevate images and creativity to their maximum.
The assignments made the members of Oedipus engage more often, which changed their opinion about Yoomyeong.
Yoomyeong’s opinion about the Oedipus members also changed with time. Yoomyeong saw how every member of Oedipus discussed their opinions without any hesitation and without being old-fashioned between seniors and juniors.
The thing Yoomyeong liked the most about Oedipus is the fact that the seniors in this workshop were truly hard-working and dedicated and took time out of their busy schedules so that they could help their juniors and the workshop in general. Yoomyeong wonders if this is what Ryushin meant when she told him to feel the charm of Oedipus.
Yoomyeong finally arrives at the workshop and finds that only Seon Yuri is present there. Yoomyeong tries to talk to Yuri, but she coldly ignores him, many things change during the workshop duration, but Yuri’s cold nature is still the same.
Seon Yuri, being in charge of the workshop, always does her work with extreme diligence, and she tends to handle her responsibilities on her own without asking for anyone’s help.
Despite Yuri’s nature and behavior, Yoomyeong finds it hard not to appreciate her hard work. Yoomyeong notices that Yuri is practicing choral singing, but she’s struggling with it. He decides to help her and so he tells Yuri to try using falsetto as it will help with her voice.
Instead of being thankful for Yoomyeong’s help, Yuri gets angry at him because he always acts as if everything is too easy for him. The focus shifts to a flashback showing how much Yuri worries about her vocalization.
Yuri tells her manager that she has been struggling with choral singing which has got her pushed aside from the main role during the Oedipus autumn performance.
Yuri’s manager tells her that she doesn’t need to be good with vocalization as she can just continue to act in drama. Yuri doesn’t speak anything, but deep down, she feels depressed. After all, she doesn’t want to become an actor who only works in movies and drama because she has difficulties with stage vocalization.
Yuri didn’t want to limit herself, so she started practicing choral singing every day. She even succeeded in implementing it, but somehow, her voice always became strained when using choral singing. This whole flashback was given to show why Yuri got mad at Yoomyeong.
Yuri gets mad at Yoomyeong because he makes her difficulties look so easy. She tells Yoomyeong that he must consider everything easy because he’s a genius. Yoomyeong tells Yuri that no one knows what goes in the mind of other people and then he leaves the workshop.
Yuri thinks that Yoomyeong doesn’t know much about her so she gets back to practicing choral singing again. Yuri remembers how she was mocked her whole life for one reason or another. People always act as if they know her, but in reality, they don’t.
While thinking about her past experiences, Yuri realizes that she’s acting just like those people who mocked her. She stops her practice for a bit to calm herself and then she decides to give a chance to Yoomyeong’s advice. Yuri takes a deep breath and uses falsetto this time.
Surprisingly, Yuri’s voice becomes a lot clearer, steadier, and even more comfortable. The focus then shifts to the other members of the Oedipus group waiting for Yoon Hansung’s arrival for their last program.
As Yoon Hansung is pretty popular among the members of Oedipus, they all become excited to know what story he’ll share with them. After a while, Yoon Hansung finally shows up at the workshop.
