My blog week 1

My acting skill is good I am able to project my voice to large crowds and am good at improvisation. In the summer of 2011 I did a huge performance at the NEIU auditorium where I was acting as a broadcaster in a play and the entire crowd was cheering for me and at the moment I knew I had talent and I had to get a major in communication. That same day my teacher named Stacy Brill told my mom that your son did a great job and that he has the voice of communication. My mom and Stacy both hugged each other and cried together and were very supportive.  Experiences I have, as an actor is that I have grown from the time I was in high school. The more I was in school plays, film, and stand-up allowed me to find my persona for theatre. It allowed me to learn my strengths and weaknesses. Many people has told me that I have a voice of communication, broadcaster, and comedian. Jim Blair and Kate Thomas were one of the few professors to help me get an internship with Quest theatre and the director of the Quest was also the choreographer for the Shed of Aquarium. It was great learning behind the scenes and getting some sage wisdom from the director. I did an internship at ComedySportz and it allowed me to network with people who were famous that were comedian (such as Jamie Campbell) and I was able to learn from watching and trying out my own jokes. Doing my first open mic at ComedySportz was not successful because many people did not pay attention and did not laugh at my jokes. But the more I kept performing every Monday nights the crowd began to recognize and laugh at my jokes. The struggles I went through ComedySportz gave me the opportunity to grow as a person and allowed me to have my own showcase. A showcase is where you have the whole stage to yourself for 30minutes and people are paid to go see you. Another thing I have experienced in acting is that I created a YouTube sitcom with my best friend where I was able to use my skills such as dancing, acting, martial arts, and rap. I am still with the production and we were able to reach 1,018 views within three months. Skills I would like to work on this semester is how to do other accent from different countries and how to cry in a scene. I would like to learn some agencies where I can audition for in order to get closer to my dream. I really enjoy the class so far because I am learning many things I didn’t know about acting. I really like my classmates because they are welcoming and nice people to be around with. I would like to be able to perform an monologue on Shakespeare because I feel like its hard to do an English accent.
