Problem: Article: A big part of acting drunk is to embody the feelings and emotional outlook of someone who is drunk. Typically when people get really drunk, they try to act sober to fit in. This can be difficult because you'll need to assume the perspective of someone who does not want to appear to be drunk while still convincing people that you are. Look like you're trying to keep your composure but slip up occasionally and act drunk. You can say something silly or outrageous and then tell everyone that you're sorry and you didn't mean to say it. Don't go overboard or overact. This may tip people off.  Lean against a wall and then stand upright, as if you're trying to regain your balance. You can say something like "No, no, I'm totally fine. I don't think I had enough to drink." Combine this with slurred speech to seem more realistic. Being loud and socially inappropriate does not necessarily equate to being drunk. However, being accidentally inappropriate can make you look drunk. The effects of alcohol can lead to increased aggression, self-disclosure, and sexual inhibition. Be more open and honest than you normally would. Say things that you wouldn't say regularly. Go off on tangents and talk about your childhood. If you're going for the "angry drunk" act, then get angry in response to minor things. Act more flirtatious and be more willing to talk about your history and childhood.  You can say things like, "Onion rings. I remember when I ate my first onion ring. I was seven--no, I was six years old." Touch people more often. Touching someone's arm or pushing their shoulder is an act of flirtation.  You can make sexually suggestive or inappropriate comments to appear drunker. Just remember not to cross the line and harass anyone. Cognitive and problem-solving skills are reduced when there's alcohol in your system. Often, it will take drunk people longer to understand things. Act like you don't understand simple things. You can accomplish this by asking repeated questions or repeating what a person is saying.  When asked to do something, take twice as long as you'd usually take, and constantly ask the person for help.  Changing the channel on the TV or a song on a mp3 player is a great opportunity to seem like you don't know what you're doing. When trying to change the channel you can say, "I don't get it. It keeps going to the menu. I don't know what I'm doing." Move erratically and go from energetic to drained in minutes. The more inconsistent you are, the most natural you'll appear. Act randomly and surprise people. The more you change your mood, tone of voice, and volume, the drunker you'll look. A common theater technique to act drunk involves you envisioning the floor moving under you while you walk. Make sure not to overdo it and lose your balance and fall over all the time because it can come off as fake. Act as if you are slightly off-balance constantly.  You can also lean against walls when you're stationary to give off this effect. Another approach is to roll back on your heels and act as if you are trying to get back on your toes. You can swish liquor in your mouth, or put it on your clothes. If you don't drink, try drinking a non-alcoholic beverage because they still smell like alcohol. Smelling like liquor will give people the impression that you've been drinking. Examples of non-alcoholic beverages that still smell like they have alcohol include Miller Sharp's, O'Doul's Premium, Beck's Non-Alcoholic, and Clausthaler Golden Amber.
Summary: Act like you're drunk but trying to act sober. Act less inhibited than you normally would. Take a long time to do things. Keep an inconsistent pace. Stumble when you walk. Smell like you're drunk.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All of the members of your choir should have coordinated outfits that do not distract from their performance and that look professional.  Church choirs may already have choir robes. Be sure to communicate with the church organizers about choir expectations. Other types of choir groups, such as school or community choirs, may not have preexisting uniforms, but may wear white shirts with black pants or skirts. While secondary to singing, skills such as taking a bow together at the end (if applicable) or sitting and standing in unison can make the difference between an amateur and professional looking performance. Be sure to include detail such as time, date, and place of performance, featured singers, and hosting organization. Include ticket prices or suggested donation if applicable. Warming up will ensure that your choir is ready to sing, and you can be sure that everyone is present.  Try not to introduce any new information before a performance; instead, try to “fine tune” things that you have already worked on. Give a few last-minute reminders if necessary, but try not to overwhelm your choir with different things to remember. Be sure to communicate with the director of the event about how and when to begin the performance, as well as where the choir should sit or stand both before and during the choral performance. While directing, be consistent. Use the cues, hand gestures, and facial expressions that you used during rehearsals. Save any constructive criticism for the next rehearsal: tonight, let them shine!

SUMMARY: Decide what type of clothing or uniform your choir will wear on performance night. Teach your choir that details are important. Advertise your performance. Hold a brief warm-up session prior to the performance. Begin the performance. After a performance, praise your singers privately.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Obviously, you'll need a paintbrush and paint, but for best results, you'll likely also want a suitable primer. Be sure the paint and primer you buy is intended for your purposes (interior vs. exterior; acrylic vs. oil based), and, all in all, be sure you also have:  Clean rag Drop cloth(s) (or newspaper) Hammer Latex paint (or other suitable paint) Paintbrush Paint tray (for roller) Primer (if necessary) Roller (low-nap) Sandpaper (fine grit, 180 - 220-grit) Sawhorses Screwdriver First, close the door so the hinge opens flat, allowing better access. Then, use a small screwdriver to force the pins out of your hinge.  You may only need a screwdriver to accomplish this task, but if the pin is stuck, tap the back of your screwdriver with a hammer to pop it free. If you don't have a screwdriver the right size on hand, you might try using a nail pushed through the bottom of the hinge. The shape of your door and the material it's made from can make handling a door by yourself cumbersome, difficult, or dangerous. Especially if you are painting a metal door, which can be extremely heavy. Once the pins have been pulled free from all hinges, remove the door from its frame with your helper. Make sure the area you will be painting is well ventilated, clear of obstacles, and properly covered with drop cloths or newspaper in case of drips or splatter. Laying your door atop sawhorses with the side you intend on working face up will make the sanding and priming process easier on yourself.  You can lay the door on the floor, if necessary, but this can dirty your door or accidentally cause damage. To prevent your door from sticking or freshly applied paint from becoming damaged by your sawhorse, you may want to use cardboard to pad the tops of your horses.  Sanding and painting bent over might also cause back pain.
Summary:
Gather your door painting supplies. Use your hammer and a screwdriver to remove the hinge pins. Have a friend help remove the door. Position the door in your work area.
