talking

The activity we had to do in class last was very interesting. I had no idea what to do, I didnt know when I should talk or not talk. I totally forgot everything that we learned. When he pointed out that didnt even give the table any height or anything. When i had to hand out the cards when we were playing I was going to shuffle them but as I thought about it, it was very hard. I did not think I would ever forget what we learned untill I got up there. I have acted a lot in my life and I never realize how hard it was. It normally just came to me but now that I am studing it it is much harder.

talking now

i am so glad we can talk now i think it will be a little tough but once we do it a little more i think we will become better atcors the keanue reaves. so i averexcited to see how everyone does in the next class now that we kno what to look for.

When I was doing the exercise, I found that it was easier to do a scene, but I think the quality wasn't as good. Since I was doing the scene, I wasn't able to see my body language or anyone else's very well. I'm curious to see how well other groups do tomorrow.d

Talking

I am excited that we get to start talking in class but i think its going to be a challenge also. At first i thought it would make it easier but after watching the first group it doesn't. Yes talking can convey the message but once talking is added everything else we learned seems to go out the window. I think this is because talking is a new aspect so we focus on that and not everything we had done to this point. I have a feeling that I'm going to have a hard time with paying attention to detail at the same time as talking. Also I'm going to have a hard time going into something without any organization. I am a person that likes things structured. So overall i feel that this exercise is going to be challenging for me but I am excited that we get to start talking.

Speaking

I am excited for the opportunity to speak in class. I think it's really going to open a lot of possibilities to our acting skills once we get accustomed to adding speech. I think the group that went for our first speaking activity did I pretty good job for their first time. I'm interested to see what my group will come up with. This activity takes a lot of focus because not only do you have to be aware of everyone else's body language, but you also have to know how to respond with speaking. It's a bit intimidating but I think it will be a good challenge because it will broaden our horizons.

Initially I thought getting to talk would make acting class easier. I thought that talking would allow us to convey our emotions in an easier fashion. After seeing the first group go I realized that talking makes acting much harder. They did a very nice job, but I became nervous about what I am supossed to say. Now we have to be conciuos that our movements and our body language match our speaking. We also have to be sincere. I'm excited to try to incorporate speaking into the class and I'm anxoius to see how everyone does. I have also noticed steady progress in everyone in the class. I look forward to each and every class.
