Zee's Adventures into the world of acting...

 

So today I've been going crazy, trying to find out ways to start my acting career.

I've been looking into Drama schools, short courses and even getting an acting coach. It's all too confusing, I know that I need the training, but I just feel too old to do 3 years at Drama School, and I can't afford to take time off to attend... here's hoping that there is an evening and weekends Drama School out there to answer all my prayers *fingers crossed*.

I've literally been on the Stage website all day and to all you aspiring actors out there, this website is gold. The advice section on this website is a must-read!!!

I've also been trying to find a monologue, which is one of the hardest things to do. Finding a monologue that you believe you can bring the truth to is so hard, I'm finding it really difficult. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm looking for a young female (early 20's peferably) contempary british monologue; please don't hesitate to comment.

I'm off to a meeting with my fellow young actors company later today... hopefully it will be a resourceful meeting and we will come up with some good stuff.



Zee's Adventures into the world of acting...

So I've decided to document my journey into the world of acting because I want everyone to know how serious I am about this and to show my passion for wanting to act so badly.

No, not beacuse I want to be famous, that is so not the case; no, its that cliched I've wanted to act ever since I was little.

When I act I feel so alive and powerful, it makes me feel like I have some type of purpose. It is soemthing that I am good at. It allows me to showcase my talents and acts like a vessel for my creativity.

It is such a shame that I've only decided to try and act on a professional scale now, I feel like I've missed out on so much. So I have decided that I am going to do all that is possible to start my career now!!!

On a sour note though, this morning I got a rejection letter from the theatre I auditioned for 2 weeks ago. Though I thought it went really well, especially after the distater audition I had with the agency, unfortunately I was not what they were looking for. It just goes to show that I need more practice with my audition technique.

I didn't get that upset though; I'm doing this new thing, where when I get a rejection I dwell on it for a max of 1 hour then I move on, because in this business you have to have a thick skin and I'm definately going to make my skin thicker.
