Late Mid-Term 4 Acting 1

1. So, far, about the class, I feel it's just an opportunity to come in and act, like when I did singing you just come in and sing.

I think I'm doing well, for a 1st try.  I feel I can correct myself.

I think my performance is refined and just find it as a practicing opportunity.  I just don't really know about my age and past experience.

My concentration is pretty good, but I find the class is just a fun class but not fun about acting, really.  I should probably be able to explain more, but that's all I think.  It's not really important.  I wouldn't like the other acting classes, anyway.

My ability to take direction is fine.

I work well with others, but they can tell I have problems, like with my race and health.  However, I find they think I think I deserve too much.

I try to compare with other people, but I mean they seem kinda racist, like maybe they look more like a movie star than me, you know like a child starlet or like if there were some big, tall supermodel.

I am just frustrated, really just came in to have a good time because you never know what will happen in your life.  Actually, I would have came last semester, stayed home to get better, but I wasn't sure I would.  However, things just went downhill.  I had to stop calling my grandma.  I figured, if I didn't go, then I'd get mad.  It was a miserable time at home.  If I didn't know about your class, I'd just wait and look for something else.



2. What do you mean taking direction without defensiveness??  I cannot say you are unoffensive, and I mean if someone told me I was offensive I'd take it in stride..

I think my voice is stronger than most people's.  It's just not as specific, like as thin-worn.

My diction is appealing and unappaling.  However, I have a hard time with German sounds.

My movement seems pretty spot-on because I've always been like self-conscious.

My dance is probably better than most actors since I'm also a ballerina and did gymnastics and athletics..

My facial expression is getting better.  The nose strip really helped, but I know you can't use them all the time.

My flexibility is like weird, like I can't seem to bend over the right way, like I'm not European, like I'm a poor, thin Asian man.

My concentration seems better than most people's.  I mean, I know like having sparkly, blue eyes is good.

My memorization is very good.  I don't feel as fuzzy on it and am not as nervous about forgetting.  However, I guess since I cleaned my room maybe my life will be less strenuous.  I have my camera set up now so I can post it on YouTube and wait and see if anyone will ever comment, not hard to record.

My discipline to work hard is not under the par.
Taking direction carefully is something I care about immensely.

I take direction without defensiveness.  I guess some people are just worried about who they are, like their lifestyle, should get a blog.

My creativity seems to be more fervent than others's passion for impressing others for attention.

My improv skills seem pretty stale and raw, but I'm getting there, by and by.

Other things are maybe I just need more time reading drama, but I mean I find I'm made fun of for a lotta c*** I read.  I mostly blog and read blogs and even have blogs with my own stories I made during a time I just stayed home, last semester, and took walks and watched the TV show "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."  I like "Cats" fanfic, but I did that when it came out, the DVD, in 1998.  I guess I need to get healthier.  I noticed my skills digressing, as well.  Like, sometimes, when I act, it's not really as stellar, like because I'm in the process of preparing for something else in my life.  So, it might be like when I started singing, and I have interesting emotional moments, weird ways of pronouncing things in American English and ***y gestures.



3. Distracting physical habits may include my hair.  I've already tried dying it, actually, and went bald.  That may have been the cause of my problems.  Maybe, I didn't like my bangs.  Maybe, I didn't like the hair gloss.  It was supposed to wash out, you know.  So, I just was worried it really is too expensive to get a perm at my age and stature.  I mean, it's not blonde, so I don't know how to dye it.  People expect it to be black because my mom is Asian.  I guess with Middle Easterners, it must be a different situation.  I'm gonna look at the hair products and see if I can fluff it up and thicken it.  I've already been using Sheer Blonde for so long but had it dark recently.  It was brown before but like looked black sometimes, so.  It just seems like kinda spuddy and maybe Eurasian.  I don't see anything good about it.  I mean, shiny hair is good, but if it's always black it doesn't really count.  I can't do anything about my ancestors, but my mom is not very dark.  I guess I also didn't dye it because I realized that no color would blend in, at my age.  I'm not from up north, and I don't know any Eurasians from there.  I see lots of people dye their hair, so maybe I want to be different.  I mean, I wouldn't make it very red, though it used to be red.  It's just that black undertone, I'm trying to make it naturally better.

I used to always touch my thick, fluffy hair.  When it was less fluffy, I would touch my nose, though.  Now, I tend to get irritated from an embarrassing thing "online."  I think getting up and going to Valencia helped.  That's really my problem now.  I have to say Tim Burton ruined my life.  I was a big fan and still am.  I mean, I couldn't improve at home, as a result of the hardships of being a fan.  Johnny Depp made me m*********.  I mean, I did that when I was 7-10 and not as often until my life became an experiment.  I don't know what's wrong with it, but like weird thoughts make you do it.  I just don't like how people make you feel all at once and you can't live your dream and be like a Flower Child.  That's always been frowned upon.  I think now we understand things better and could make life better for kids today.  It's just like maybe something's not there.  I firmly believe in the environment.  So, what this does for my acting is like I mean I've always tried to be like stellar and quick, and I know some people, like strict people, are like that very much so, and you have to dig in and find out about it.  I have subtle wrinkles of the face from being a thinner, gaunt, but not too thin person.



4. My greatest strengths as an actor so far are probably just like I mean I've been at home working on meditating myself but being unable to see anyone.  I just post online and post myself singing, but I don't get comments so much at all.  I think that's helped me the most.  I just feel you didn't say like oh you're supposed to know about feeling good or I will help you refine yourself or oh this class is just for fun and like reading plays or me writing anything is not an option.  I mean, you could at least like interpret something, but I mean maybe I missed something.  I just don't know the benchmarks.  I come in and do it and it feels funny getting credit hours for this, I mean, but I mean it's probably okay since I've done ballet.  I do believe in your creed.  I just don't come in submitting to s*** like about scripts.  I know on IMDb they think it's about scripts, and I think that killed me.  I've delved into something, and I didn't get something out of it.  No one acknowledges how I can go into a movie, a musical, something I know about and something I care about.  It's like an assignment, but no one cares.  It's some thing that no one cares about because I'm the 1 who said it.
