I think that I accomplished my goals in this course that I set ftom the beginning I wanted to be able to learn how to become an actor because that has always been a dream for me. I feel like this year I made huge strides to make myself a way better actor than what I started from. When the course started I wanted to be able to do a Will Ferell skit I was able to do that by doing the Lion and Tuna scene. When the course started I wanted to be able to be in a movie I accomplished that when I did the Longest flight and the Inception movie which was such a cool experience. I thought my acting in both of those skits was cool to watch. At the beginning of the course I wanted to be able to be in a musical I achieved that by doing the Hamilton musical. What I learnde from that is that I always thought I was a terrible singer and I could never sing but abby really did a good job and taught me how I should project my voice and be able to sing and honestly I thouht I did a pretty good job. I challenged myself by remembering how to memorize lines and by being able to keep a straight face since I kind of laugh a lot whenever somebody does something to me that makes me laugh. I worked a lot harder in this class then I thought I would. What I gained from this class was that if you put your mind to something that you want to achieve anything is possible. Like me in this class I always wanted to be an actor but I never thought I could do but I proved to myself that I could and I ended up loving acting. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING COURSE!!!!!

Final Audition Proposal

What I am Proposing to do for my final audion is an audition. Throughout the whole acting class my favorite part was when we did the monologues. The reason that I liked doing monologues because I am the kind of person that loves to get into the character and feel like im apart of something. Another reason that the monologue is my favorite part of the class and why im doing it for my final audition is because of my love for getting on stage and forgetting about everything that im worried about and just prentending im someone else. Its fun to just pretend im someone else because it gives me a feeling of what situations these people are in compared to mine of going to prep school at Cheshire Academy. How will this make me a better actor because it displays my abilities to perform a scene by myself without help from anyone else. It will give me the chance to get up on stage and show everyone that I am a very funny actor. That is why I am doing this monologue for my final audition and how it is going to make me a better actor.

My inception progress

So far during this inception project I feel like I have been exceeding more than usual. I think there are  three reasons why I am having success. One is that I have more confidence now, before this whole class I had always been so shy and I didn't really speak up and now that I am able to say my lines loud and proudly. My favorite scene from this whole project was when I was in the bathroom playing Robert Fischer from inception. The reason that this was my favorite scene was because it sounded like I was actually terrified and angry which made the scene great. The second reason that I am having a lot of success in this project is because I enjoy this role. The character I am playing is a very serious business guy that has a lot of money and is being chased by all these people to take over his business. I feel like it is really cool to play someone who is on the runs down has a very serious role during the project. Those are some reasons why I am having success with this project.

     Me and Jayden did the scene from coach carter for our dialogue. I personally liked the way I performed on that scene. The scene was about a coach going into the lockeroom after they had just lost the state championship on a buzzer beater shot and trying to tell his team to stay positive because they had a great year. Nobody expected this team to even make the playoffs let alone the state championship game so this speech was very powerful and to the heart. My role in this scene was the coach of the basketball team.
     My pros of my performance were I thought that I used hand motions and expressed my emotions pretty loud and clear. During the scene I pointed to the door showing the rest of the players "if any coach in the state of California offered me a job you know what team I'd chose". The reason I said this is show the players how much I love this team and I wouldn't want to coach any other team and I think I projected my self pretty loud, clear, and emotional.
      My cons of the scence were I need to memorize my lines better. I remembered my lines pretty well but I could've prepared much better and I'm going to be focusing on that in my upcoming scenes that I will perform. I also thought that made my confidence look a little bad because I failed to really remember the scene thoroughly that way I sounded more confident when I was talking. Other than that though I thought I did pretty well I certainly tried as hard as I could and I think that counts for a lot.
       I will work on my cons for the fourth quarter like preparing my lines and memorizing them like the back of my hand. I will also be way more confident and I'm going to show everyone in the audience that I am a serious actor so they feel that they're actually there in the scene.

The most important thing I have to work on for this upcoming scene is portraying my voice and making sure that everyone can hear me and understand me. The reason I need to do this is because it makes the scene complete, also I'm playing a very serious actor and I need to make sure I sound loud and proud that way everyone takes my character seriously and really takes me seriously as an actor. The way I'm going to work on this is by saying my lines over and over again saying my lines louder and louder each time. That way after I do over and over again it will be like muscle memory and I will be able to say my lines as loud as possible so I sound more serious. That is what I want to work on for next scene and how I'm going to work on it.
