“I am not an ACTOR!” is what I would say everyday in class. Then when I heard we HAD to perform for class, I was scared and even more so like “Yeah I can't do this”.

When it came time for auditions I was beyond nervous, but I knew I had to get casted, so no matter what I had a part. I got casted in Shanon’s Play Broken, I played Character A and Jess was Character B. I struggled alot, I was always frustrated because I couldn't figure out my lines, I could not connect on the level of terrified my character had to be, and I couldn't get into the acting zone.

Also that I was talking way too fast to have my ribs broken and that I should slow down my sentences. So made sure I tried it in rehearsal and it really helped me. Now by this point my confidence level was at an six out of ten compared to the first day which was a zero out of
