Waaaaaaaa!

Okay, I know that this has been a bit of a barrage of posts in the last 24 hours, but bear with me.  I guess I've just got a lot to say.  I went to audit an acting class tonight, Acting the Truth with Steve Braun, recommended to me by my friend Antosia Fiedur, who is an actress trying to make it in Vancouver.  You can check out her blog here: http://missantosia.wordpress.com/




Great guy, great class.  And it occurred to me while I was watching them do the Meisner Technique (repetitions and all that)  I guess I'll have to come back at a later date and explain what that actually is; anyway I was watching them do their exercises and their scenes and I realized this is what I've been missing.


I've been out here for over a month now, and I've been freaking out about finding a job and finding an apartment and sending my headshot out and getting an acting gig and everything else, that I forgot why I came out here: TO ACT.  Just sitting there, I was freaking out because I wanted so badly just to get up on the stage and start doing my thing.  It's been so long since I've done a play or a film, and this was like just a little wee bit of Heroin.  It gave me a taste, and now I need to have more.  I'm not sure yet if this class will be the right fit for me ultimately, but fortunately he lets you pay by the class, instead of signing up for some six month commitment where you find out two weeks in that it's not going to work but you've already sunk 700 bucks in and you can't back out now.  So I think at least for the forseeable future I should go to a few of his classes if only because I need to keep myself practicing my craft, and it is a technique I haven't tried before (not that I've studied any techniques.  ever.  Nothing like the present, I suppose).


So that's that.  I guess I had to make up for that ridiculously short post earlier.  You're welcome!
