I have longed for this moment for so long 1 week ago

Actually, don’t ask me where that came from. I was just listening to Mayer Hawthorne so who knows. I just want to act or do something creative with my life, I’ve realised, this is what I am meant to do.



Monologue: Class Notes 2 weeks ago

1. Analysis the character (50 questions) and the relationships/desires of the character. When she speaks, what does she want from the other person?

2. Be genuine. Let whatever the emotion come over you at the time. Use your own life experience as props.

3. Be spontanious.Don’t just repeat tones and gestures. Try different angles and see which one works better.

4. Acting is about self-control. Every expression and gesture must have a purpose, otherwise it shouldn’t be there.

5. Try to use different emotions in the monologue. Have variety.

6. Have sense of space and the location of whom you talk to. Acknowledge the space.

7. Acting in camera: make a strong stand, don’t shift your body back and forth because it will be distracting in the camera. Keep eye contact. When the monologue is done, keep yourself in the character until the director says stop. Control heavy breathing. Wear solid colored clothes, dark blue looks good on camera.

I do act. I’m in two interesting and very different theatre groups. In the other one we mostly do comedic-all-family-musical theater and in the other one hardcore drama. Every now and then I also work as an extra in TV and movies.

But I’d like to act more! Be challenged to do different kind of roles with different media and directors. I’d like to improve as an actress. I love what I do. But I’m hungry to do even more!
