Oh hi, I didn't see you there
I'm Natasha Negovanlis, you might recognize me as the actress who plays everyone's favorite broody lesbian vampire.
Or should I say ex-vampire.
You might also recognize me as the host of KindaTV, the home of Carmilla.
But in all seriousness hello, everyone welcome to KindaTV, the home of Carmilla.
I'm your friendly neighborhood Natasha, and in today's video we are taking a trip down memory lane. That's right
We are all super stoked at KindaTV
And I'm sure or at least
I hope you are too for the release of The Carmilla Movie coming out this fall, so in anticipation of that
We are rewatching some old episodes from Season One
the very first season, the very first time that my character ever appears on camera. So without further ado
Here's a little Season One rewatch. The very first time I appear is at the tail end
of episode 2 of season 1. But let's try
episode
3, when I really start talking. "My what?" oh boy. "Your roommate". "I have a roommate"
"Well don't you catch on fast." "No, I mean I have a pre-existing roommate, a prior roommate her name is" okay this is also really weird
Because there was no music actually playing in reality
So I was like supposed to kind of like nod my head to music that was not there,
And I didn't know what it was going to sound like
"What are you doing?" "Well,
you see I may not have an missing roommate, but what I do have is a letter from the dean of students that says I live here now."
Stop that those are not yours!" "Well they're in my half room cutie." I still have that Betty shirt actually "this isn't your room
"Tell you what, you cough up Betty and I'll hit the road.
But until then."
I remember I was so nervous. There was so much pressure
And it was so tense because we had like no time to shoot it at all and we shot
It like a play, so it was like, okay, you just got to do it, and I think we only this in one take
It was wild. "Well, it is day three of the incursion here in room
307 and Betty is still missing, she has been officially replaced with the roommate from hell!
Don't believe me?" Aw look at how cute she is, little baby! "She keeps wearing Betty's clothes, she steals my chocolate, she never cleans anything
She's never awake before four PM. Which is perhaps
unsurprising when she's up all night with some girl from my anthropology class, in my bed!"
Oh yes. "But it's fine really, because when Carmilla's latest study buddy came over
I may have mentioned that Carmilla has" I actually really like those leopard-print sheets that Carmilla has,
I want those. "Boom revenge is mine, and so is Carmilla's super special soy milk that
I'm not supposed to touch because"
Uh oh what's going to be in it?
It's blood.
That's mysterious. Oh, man. I forgot how short these episodes were. That very first scene that I appear in as well. I remember
Practicing it so much because that was my audition scene
And I had to do it in the initial audition and then during chemistry readings and callbacks
And then I had to do it again for another callback. Um
And I remember I wanted it so so badly and I was like practicing it all the time, like I was
Playing at a baseball game at a softball game my old softball team and like in between
Times that I was on the field I was like making my teammates go over it with me which
Is probably why we lost the game, but hey! I got part of Carmilla
So thank you old teammates who helped me learn my lines
Now for the final kiss our very first kiss on screen. Oh my gosh. Which was like I remember
We were like a little nervous. I guess cause it was the first kiss on camera
I had to do, I had to do stage kisses before that
"Um, they found."
"Okay, Sorry... She's heavier than she looks"
"Carm!" Which is true also, I was so bad at playing like a dead body, like you could totally see I put my arm down.
Ah, so funny.
Please don't be dead, please don't be dead!"
And magically just like that. She's alive again
so weird
"Well, that was a kick."
Also, I had to scooch down the end of the bed otherwise
I wasn't like in the shot properly, so I remember like that was always the tricky thing about shooting a web series is that you know you kind of had to put your body in these unnatural positions
but
Really is so charming
"Are you hurt it looks like maybe your hurt?
And I'm sorry I hugged you so hard that you're hurt it's just that
You were dead, and you're not. And I know that you're probably going"
And the mic pack just sticking out making my butt look like a cube. Oh boy. Oh, and then an on screen kiss
"And I know that you didn't do everything for me, but I just"
Aw.
I don't think there was supposed to be that many kisses in there, we just went a little overboard
Oh boy. "So you're a giant black cat, huh?"
So cute.
I remember like the first time I watched that and watched the credits. It was,
it was, it was a really cool feeling of accomplishment like, I feel like we had
accomplished something special well
Well, that was a fun trip down memory lane
It really is amazing to see how far we've come since that first little tiny dorm room
And it's been really cool to go through this journey and experience
it with such an amazing supportive group the fans as well, so thank you so much for watching and for subscribing to this channel
Um, I'm just so excited to see what everyone's reaction to the movie will be and I hope that you all know that you're such an
Integral part of making this movie because our show would not have had the opportunity to even have multiple seasons
if it hadn't been for your support
And if it hadn't been for your support of the movie we wouldn't have been able to make it either
So thank you so much to everyone who also purchased it in advance
