Pursuing A Career

Improved Essays
When I was a child, I was told that when people grow older they have to pick one particular profession and stick with it for the rest of their lives. Also, that it was impossible to have more than one profession in your lifetime. These ideas seemed very flawed to me, and from thereon began my journey to defy the impossible. That was the time period when I realised that I wanted a career in which I could be able to experience various types of professions. A career in which I will be able to become different types of people and be able to portray their emotions myself. Thus, my chosen career is to become an actor. I have always been fascinated to live a life created by a story. Moreover, it always excites me to be able to express what I feel or rather convey it to other people by making them laugh, cry and always keeping them on the edge of their seats. I am passionate to depict my life as a work of art via mediums like acting, public speaking, dance and music. I want to be an actor because I want to provide an immense amount of entertainment for people across the globe, also leading by example and inspiring people that everyone is capable of living the life they 've …show more content…

    Growing up thinking about a career I wanted to pursue was difficult. It varied from a tattoo artist all the way to where I am now with nursing being my main focus. It wasn’t until recently over the past three years when I realized this. Since my sophomore year I have managed for one of my high school sports. My sophomore and junior years I managed for volleyball.…

    I loved film, theater, and television because it let people escape for a moment into a fictional world. As an actress, you could be someone else. But on the flip side, I’ve since learned that actors are really not supposed to be trying to act--they should be trying to portray real life. When I was in high school, I got involved in the theater program, but I didn’t think it could be a real career. So I went off to the university and pursued a degree in marketing and…

    In acting one I feel like I learned why more than what I intended. I think what most people and I would have thought is that acting is learning about how to play other people. But what we all can learn is that acting is way more then that. Acting is knowing that you can be anything in this whole entire universe even if this universe sees you as a nobody. I feel like everyday in this class I have a little bit more about myself.…

    My Change In Theatre

    Originally, there were various ideals I had for myself in the future, ranging from theatrical involvement to something as simplistic as being a therapist. By the middle of my sophomore year, my dreams to be an actress, although superficial, were now something of a hobby instead of a focus. And what would be the reasoning to that? My change in focus is simply due to being told I need to be more realistic with life, to always have a fall-back plan. I understood that theatre is irrational to pursue when it is difficult to get into shows, living on almost nothing in between the many auditions one would attend.…

    When people think of professional actors, they tend to think of romantic leading types. But I wouldn’t trade being a character actor for anything. I studied acting at Carnegie Mellon, and as graduation approached, I noticed that those of us who fell into the ‘character actor’ category were getting different words of wisdom than those who tended to play lead roles. For the leads, there was a lot of pressure to sign with a big agent and start working right away, because it’s all about youth and beauty. But it was almost the opposite for me.…

    It is not the singular grand achievement that a person should be judged upon; rather, it’s the collection of smaller triumphs that should determine one’s character. Therefore, it makes sense that my biggest obstacles manifest in my day-to-day life; for instance, my character had been truly tested in Boone High’s spring play production--the lead-up to the premier had been scared by setbacks, marred by the lack of memorization, and saturated by stress. First and foremost, theatre is more than just an extracurricular activity or resume fluff because it has taught me several lessons; and, in hindsight, theater has exposed some character flaws, as well. For example, my abilities as an actor outshine my poor time management skills--attributed to the fact I have a severely busy schedule. Nevertheless, I still learned my lines and performed one of our most memorable and beloved shows.…

    The first time I performed on stage, I was the opening act for Elvis Presley. I was five years old and my family was staying at an inn for the weekend. In the building’s lounge, there was a small stage on which musicians and comedians would perform at night. On that particular night, an Elvis impersonator was scheduled to sing, but he was running late. Naturally, I ran up to the stage, dragging along my brother and cousin to be my backup dancers.…

    Because Appetite For Love holds such a treasured place in my heart (I got to interview both male leads--Andrew Walker and Marcus Rosner--and they were kind enough to let a novice feature them), I often find myself going back to my review of that film and attempting to connect with the supporting cast of that momentous film. In the case of Antonio Cayonne, I was so pleased to see that he is again being featured in a Valentine's film on Hallmark, and it was a great joy when he agreed to answer a few questions about his journey to become an actor, his current and notable works, and his general outlook on the industry and life as a whole.

    As actors, we must come to the realization that we are not in a stable career field. With that being said, it is in our best interest to have a backup plan of other possibilities in the arts so that we do not find ourselves wailing in the idea that we went to college for nothing. I am studying theatre in the performance aspect, concentrating in acting. I am actually leaning more towards the entertainment field rather than the artistic field, which does not require any sort of theatre education on a collegiate level, however I am here because while I want to be a screen actress, I do love theatre and I need the education in case I fail in my hopes and dreams. If that unfortunate occurrence comes true, my “Plan B” is to either be a director or a playwright.…
