Method acting

Imagine performing on a stage for an audience; singing, dancing, acting, live on stage. There 's no room for mistakes on the stage during show time. To be able to perform live for a crowd is something I’ve dreamed of doing. I would like to be a musical theatre actress when I grow up. An actor is someone who portrays and interprets roles using speech, body motions, and other skills. A musical theatre actor specializes in acting, while also singing and dancing to music. "In this career, you must…

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…

I did ask for fan questions, and I got a really great one here. Since you 're an acting coach, if you have someone who is thinking about acting for a career, how are you able to figure out if they have acting talent or not? Is there something you would recommend they do to determine if they have talent or not? You know, it 's easier than people think actually. Talent is insanely overrated. I think talent comes through hard work and learning the craft. I find this an interesting occupation I 'm…

The Sparrow On Friday, November 18, 2016, my wife and I saw the 7:30 showing of The Sparrow, a play written by Chris Matthews, Jake Minton, and Nathan Allen. The play is about a high school girl (Emily) returning to her former school after a tragic accident in the second grade, in which she was the only survivor, forced her to move and attend a different school. Eventually it is revealed that Emily has super powers when she saves the popular cheerleader (Jenny) from falling from the school’s…

On December 7th, at 7:30pm, I attended It’s A Wonderful Life, A Live Radio Play. Illinois State University’s adaptation of this classic film took place in the Center for the Performing Arts. The actors took the stage as members of a 1940s radio show, playing a multitude of characters depicted in the original film. Although vastly different from the cinema version, this adaptation was very successful due to the congruous 1940s costumes, the use of varied voices to portray numerous characters, and…

41). It sad but the African American race has adopted the issue with dark vs. light skin which spills over in the film and acting industry. ” The schism reaches back to the days of "house" and "field" slaves--when the first African-Americans were segregated even from one another--and persists today in distinctions between light- and dark-skinned blacks.” (Svetkey, B, Watson…

A couple of weeks ago, I went to go see The Skin of Our Teeth. The show is very confusing and I was not a huge fan of it. However, the way the set is laid out and the choices for costumes and some aspects of the acting were quite enjoyable. The script was my main issue that clouded over many of the other parts. To understand the show, we must first see what it is about. The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder is a play that takes part in three acts. It follows the Antrobus family and their maid…

In November of 2016, I saw the play All in the Timing put on by the Wachusett Theatre Company.The play is comprised of a series of short skits, none having to do with next one. Some skits having to do with different time streams, washing machines, or monkeys, the play was very entertaining. The problem with plays that don’t have a cohesive plot is the transition from one skit to the next. But with the organization of the skits and well timed blackouts the transitions were seamless. One thing I…

the play being introduced. Although there were many things in the play that caught my interest, the elements that were most crucial to the play was the set design and the acting. I think even though there were only 3 actors throughout the play and there wasn’t any big landscape changes, the play was entertaining and the acting was believable and well-done. I also believe that the setting of the play was an interesting choice because the only thing on the stage in one of the scenes was 1 white…

Junot Diaz said that dismissing any opportunity for a person to be culturally represented turns them into a “monster” (goodreads.com). So, how does that apply to the media, specifically, Hollywood film? Recently there has been a growing outcry over the lack of complex minority experiences in award-winning films. As a result, more Black actors and actresses have been nominated in their respective categories. However, the same cannot be said for South Asians and Hispanics, who struggle to find…
