I'm not sure if this should be in General Discussion or Off Topic so apologies if this is in the wrong place. Anyways, for my drama project we have to read a monologue and create a character that is supposed to say this monologue. By create I mean we have to dress, sound, and look like the character and come up with a back story. I named my character Jeff Gerstmann and wrote about where he's from, what he eats, his favorite colour, etc. for his back story.
I need help though. I'm supposed to write a journal about a day in the life of Jeff and it needs to look like something he would write but my mind is blank and I can't think of anything that even remotely sounds like Jeff. So I ask you, GiantBombers, to help me write my journal and help me blow my teachers mind with my awesome Jeff Gerstmann impression.
Thanks
I'm Doing a Project on Jeff Gerstmann
Wear shorts, use a lot of West Coast hip-hop lingo and just look like you actually enjoy what you're doing and you should pull it off.
Yeah just dress in Ecko wear, or at least go for that orange/stripe polo and shorts combo, no maybe the blue and yellow stripe polo. Oh i dunno, make sure he doesnt like chipotle either.
How about visit the Jeff Gerstmann page, theres some decent factoids and quotes im sure you can find useful for some inspiration.
I could go on and on with tips but then i end up looking creepy.
"Can you PLEASE get this on video when you do it, seriously... i WANT to see this on the site, and i'm sure Jeff would too!"I'll definitely try but it will probably be an epic fail. No one can pull off Gerstmann's voice.
"Paint yourself black! since everyone knows jeff is a black guy."People are like M&M's, they may be different colours on the outside but they're all black on the inside.

"You are writing about Jeff's FAVORITE COLOR, huh?I wrote "Dude, I'm colour blind don't remind me." Pretty funny.That should be a tough one..."
"Wear shorts, use a lot of West Coast hip-hop lingo and just look like you actually enjoy what you're doing and you should pull it off."
That is probably the most accurate description of Jeff that I've ever heard.
"RodneythePom said:Hey-Oh!"Have strong morales and get fired for them. That's the trick!"ZING!"
My head is brimming with more ideas but theres too many to think about, ending up in a mind block. Jeff's done/said too many things!
"sionweeks said:I know eh? I finished my journal and I found it fucking hilarious. Let's just say at one point, Jeff has minor heart attack from the overwhelming awesomeness of his job/life/Gears of War 2 and from the consumption of a bacon, steak, ham, pepperoni, and cheese pizza."RodneythePom said:Hey-Oh!"Have strong morales and get fired for them.

When you present, I think you should make up a completely fake voice but still do his "karate-chop" hand gestures. I don't think anyone could imitate his voice well and it would come off kinda wierd. Now if you gave him some kinda wierd German-sausage accent, it would have a two pronged effect of funny dialogue-funny/strange voice. Not saying you should pick German, but you get the idea.
edit: forgot to mention how awesome the Spicy Chipotle pic is. It looks like he's licking the arm.
Spend the entire day with no pants on, and play nothing but all the street fighters and Mortal Kombats. Being fighting games of course invite people over, and have 7/11 cater the event. Then, everytime you beat someone, yell "you can't beat 100% beeee-ytch!!"
If you should lose, then say: "this town was built on coconuts. Coconuts are worth more than human life!!!!."
