Drama Queens...
There are a lot of them in our class, hehe.
Today was fairly interesting for the most part (when we weren't being taught by Mr Jarvis. Urgh...). We started off with Stage Management, and it felt like we were going to finish there too, because the person who teaches us makes it so boring. It's like being in High School again... Still, when we actually get to do things it should be alright. Some of the backstage activities look fun (in a weird kind of way).
After that we had our Audition technique run, and I was momentarily very scared because I was the only one who hadn't remembered a monologue >_<; Luckily, we didn't need them.
Hearing about how the examiners judge you is frightening- aparrently they've made a decision within the first ten seconds of you walking through the door, and from even before that if there's a window there. First impressions really count. Urk... I'm really not sure I'm competetive enough for acting. But I shall try ^_^
Geez, I hate this keyboard. maybe it's just because I'm in an odd mood that I'm making all these mistakes (not that you can see them). It still annoys me, though.
He's behind you!
I'm not sure how many people are familiar with pantomime- I didn't realise it was more or less a British-only phenomenon-, but we did some today. Ours didn't go nearly as well as the others, I thought. And I was the (first) only person to say that I thought it could be better. Everyone else was waxing lyrical about everything. But... it wasn't how I felt. So I was honest.
It's something that's been bothering me for a while- in a community where you're afraid to offend anyone, it's hard to be constructively criticising. Especially if everyone expects you to say "Yes, it's great!" I'd rather people were honest with things I did, because I want to know how to improve. I look at a few things on OB or various other places and see how well everyone else is praising it, and I might think it actually needs improving. But I never say anything. If I don't like it, I usually back away and leave everyone else to it.
I need to be more honest, heh. I don't care if I get a reputation- if people want comments then you have to be constructive. Yes, you might like it, but in order to be really helpful (besides injecting an ego boost), you have to say what could be improved. Some people might not appreciate it, but I would.
Anyway, thought of the moment for you.
