A lot of people might be surprised that I'm taking an acting class this fall. Well... it really isn't my field of expertise personally, but I'm willing to walk on all avenues that will lead me to experience new things. Over the last three weeks I've worked really hard on bringing out the character in my little 2 minute monologue. Mine was a bit dramatic. It involved a lot of frustration and anger, unlike the more comical pieces that my classmates were assigned. Not that I lost any sleep over it, don't get me wrong. But I worked on it. I even went so far as to filming myself to see what it would look like from an audience's point of view.
Last night, I stood up in front of my class and rocked it. I'm sure some of you will agree that there is an insurmountable amount of power when you connect with your audience. There's something about looking all these people in the eye without breaking your character. Suddenly you're up there and doing your own thing.
...And it's EASY AS PIE.
I guess the lesson learned here is that when you put yourself into something that you do, it will pay off.
