Well, acting class ends on Monday. This means that it's time for me to reflect on my experience in acting class all semester.
One of the really good things that I did in my acting class this semester was accomplish my goals of this year. I grew more confident in my performing abilities, which was one of my goals. I also learned many new games involving acting, like when each person sits in a chair and is given a character and they pretend to be in a car. I also tired several different kinds of acting, like the dramatic monologue I did and acting in a silent movie. I also got to work on my improvisation abilities, when my class did the improvisation unit last week and I also tried new things when we improvise as we did new activities I had never done. I also learned a little about the behind the scenes work, because I helped my classmates with filming their videos and turning on music when they needed it. I am very happy with the fact that I completed my goals.
I was very proud of my improvement this year. I got a lot more confident about my performing abilities, as I was not very comfortable with performing in front of people. I also got better at not laughing or breaking character while acting in comedic scenes. I also got to try new things in acting and had success in doing them, like in the silent movie. The improvements I made in this class.
I still need to work on being comfortable improvising with other people. I had a lot of trouble with staying in character when unpredictable and funny things happen. I also have trouble making my voice heard and speaking when other people are talking, which happened when we did some of the improvisation in the activities with all my classmates. I can also have trouble with coming up with ideas sometimes that are needed for improvisation. Being more comfortable with improvising is something that I still need to work on.
The thing I took away from this class the most was that I can do well when I work hard at them. It was shown when I made a lot of progress at many different areas of performing in this class. One example of better I got at memorizing lines exactly than I did before I was in this class. I previously had never real need to memorize things that were as long as the things I performed in this acting class along with my role as Matti the Iron Founder in Galileo, which also was earlier this year, so it took a lot of work on my part for me to be able to improve on my memorization skills. The fact that I can do well when I do hard work was the thing I took the most from this class.
I loved the experience of being in this acting class and working with my classmates. It was very fun and I benefited a lot from the experiences in that class.
I think this is my last blog post, so see you.
