tuesday's and wednesday's post

tuesday's post

today we did more denotative analysis,which is getting surprisingly easier-ish? its not easy yet, but its getting to the point where i start to pick up things on my own. but its still step by step, and line by line. listening to a chunk of dialogue, isn't easy yet.but i'm hoping and praying that by the end of this year it will be a bit easier.
and then i'll feel like a genius, because i'll understand shakespeare at the drop of a hat!

today i wrote the sat question of the day, which i also got correct! plus i took my notes on denotative analysis (we're finally on scene 2. that only took forever.) and i participated alot in the actual analysis. i'm understanding this alot more than last week, and thats a real improvement from just last week!

wednesday's post

today we watched the royal shakespearian company's video lesson.

HOLY CRAP.

these people are insanely insanely insanely INSANELY good. you said they were faking, but i could not tell for the life of me. their faking is better than me on my best day. which is expected. they are freaking acting monsters, obviously they can kick a 15 year old's ass into the ground. i was just blown away by how much work needs to be done to get close to their level.

thats why i was..."depressed" i guess today. because i was thinking how much work i would have to do to become an actor, and how im not sure if i can get to that point, if i have the mental muscle to work to that. so then my mind kind of started racing around and i went through director, writer, techie. directors need the same "education" as actors, possibly more than that. i'm not the greatest of writers, and im not super technical in the tech side, so i just kept thinking, little techie, little techie, little techie.

it has not been a good week so far for me. sorry if i scared you with my sad expression.

i took notes today about the shakespeare MASTERS. its crazy you trained with one of them. i'm both scared and terrifed for more shakespeare. but its a good terrified. i think. i really learned alot about acting with shakespeare, and i saw how you still can make it truthful even when your not as used to the dialogue he uses. im looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow use these tips with our monologues tomorrow.
