Je serai finir!

Ooo la la, French...the language of love. I just wanted to sign off one last time and let you guys all know that I love you. Well...eh, yeah, ok I guess all of you. Joshua and I are formulating a new brand of acting that will forever change the face of theatre/film/geico commercials/sitcoms/greek tragedies. we are the Affleck-Damon combo of the future. Seriously though, glad to be a part of the class, glad to learn so much about what acting really is and is not. Actions and reactions, not 'playing emotions' ;)


Good luck everyone I hope I never see you again

I'M KIDDING

...No I'm not

Love,
Tim

Max Sings/Chris Croons

Max,

I don't think you need to be trained to sing, "regular type music." If you can sing AT ALL you should come out for my show next year. No promises, but if you can carry a tune, you might be perfect.

Chris,

I would also encourage you to come out for it. I know that you are busy, but if you can make the time and get cast, you might have a great time. Especially in one of my crazdiculous shows.

The final days

I am excited to present our final on thursday. I think it will be exciting to see all the groups go and see how they have improved hopefully on their skits. I am sure we will all do well. In class on thursday i was glad we got to see everyone go. I think that going before helped us all get a better understanding of what we need to do. So good luck everyone. and see you in class on thursday

Really? No whiz-bang or anything?

I can't believe we just had our last class! A part of me just died. But now I'm working on my final, and I know Dave and I were kind of having some trouble in the verb department. So if anyone else is, too, I found a really good site today: http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/drama30/teacher/pdf/3actingverbs.pdf . And another piece of advice: don't practice your scene in front of my roommate and friends because it will ultimately lead to your destruction and demise.

finals once again...

another time with finals and another round of them. Cant wait until they are over! Everyone did a great job today during their presentations. I think everyone will do a great job on the final! Good luck on finals, have a great break! :)

Max Julian - You are needed

Max,

Do you sing at all? I mean outside of the rap genre.

Fabio
This class was awesome, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who would care to listen. :)
I have learnt a lot, not only about acting, but also how and at times why people tend to behave the way they do.
I am a little anxious about finals, though I guess all will go well.
All the best with finals !!

Two Fighters Against a Star Destroyer??

So its the last blog and I'm happy for that, but upset we have no more new and exciting skits to do in our class...It's been real, it's been fun, and it definitely has been real fun! Probably one of my favorite classes ever and I know I will be able to use the knowledge I have gained from this class throughout my life and whenever I do skits or lip sync's or eat subway, I know I have Fabio to thank for all that.....Pe@ce out A-town...
Yeah so today I worked on my final script I hope it goes well, I'm kinda nervous but I guess it's what we've been working towards all year. It's soo weird to think how embaressed I was to get up infront of the class at the beginning of the semester now I don't even care I guess if you read this anyone this was the most fun class I ever had it was real cool getting to know everyone I didn't already know.
You know what, it really shocked me to realize it's the last week of classes. Where has the first half gone? I just flys by when your hanging out with friends and having a good time. It all really does go bye faster than anyone realizes. Ask anyone, they'll all say where has the time gone. A lot of things will change in the next couple of years but hopefully we'll still have good friends and and wisdom.
well its the last week of class, and its already half over. This semester has flown by and i feel like i have learned alot from this class. Not just how to act, but how to read people and interract with them. I will take alot from this class to use in the future, and i will greatly miss it next semester.

The final blog

I really enjoyed getting to perform some of my final on tuesday with Hale. It made me realize how rusty i am and how much i miss doing musicals but i just don't have the time to do them so. I'm really glad that i took this class and even though most of the time i felt like everything we were doing was a waste of time it really did come together in the end. I also want to thank all of you guys cause you made the class even more enjoyable and i would like to take a moment to look back on my favorite moment from this semester of when our two classmates were trapped inside a uterus. Pretty sure i came close to peeing myself and of course I have to just say two words... Max Julian... enough said.
class was good on Tuesday.
We hardly understand the nuances of different kinds of sounds that come our way, and that even those sounds convey emotions.
I too had the unfortunate experience of viewing the silent film on the civil war. It goes to show how important it is to develop these skills we have tried to cultivate in ourselves as actors without the faculties of sound! They were really horrible at conveying action and reactions with no words. As Fabio would say, they 'played an emotion.' That said, I am really glad Josh and I got to work on our final in class today, I think it will help us loads. I'm kind of nervous for it, though...

Tuesday Night

I was at my night class tonight and we were watching a silent film made in 1915 about the start of the Civil War. I liked thinking about how acting has evolved in terms of film, but the art has always been the same-dating all the way back to ancient Greece (pretty sure that was it). I thought the film was kind of funny, though, because it looked like these people just filmed it in their backyard, and the addition of text didn't really help me understand what was going on. But just because our audience can actually see and hear us clearly doesn't mean Dave's and my final is a sure thing. Hope everything works out!

finals week

i was glad that i got to work on my final today in class. it really helped me get more of an understanding for what we have to do. i think that with more practice we will do very good on the final!

finals week

next week is finals week and our acting final is next thursday. i hope everyone is ready. i enjoyed watching them in class today. i think jason and chris did the best! :)
we will probley go on thursday since we didnt go yet, but i think were prepared! hope everyone enjoys it!

I took acting for Non-majors and all I got was this stupid blog

So yea, myself and Tim's project is coming along grandly...I feel nervous because we still have over a week to work on it but we really want to make sure that we get it done and get to go in class so that we can get some positive feedback...Watching Dane's and Chelsea do their's and the feedback that they got from it was awesome...I say it is definitely worth a lot to all of us to do our skit and have the Fabster critique it...So I am looking forward to being able to go sometime this week...
