The Week In Review

Due to the fact that I just joined the blog and am what some would call "behind", I will now give a brief summary of my first week's experience in the prestigious Conservatory. 9It will be in no particular order)

My favorite part of the whole week was when we learned the three things we need to do in order to become great actors. I like being taught by being given a list of concrete things to do and how to do them instead of just being given abstract goals and vague ideas for techniques. These were all things that I had been taught before but I had never sen them all in one place in list form.

I think the hardest part for me has been the breathing. You would think I would be better at something that I have had this much practice at but this kind of breathing is a whole new world for me. I think I have a lot of torso tension because I am always having to really push to get the breath down into my belly.

Finally, I love my character. He is so much fun.
