I plan to support myself financially by maintaining a career in the entertainment industry acting. I want more than anything in this world to be able to support myself by acting because acting is my passion. I want to wake up everyday and do something that I am in love with. I do not have the luxury of a stable home life and I will need to work incredibly hard to live off of my passion, but I do not care. I need to be in a creative environment or I feel mundane, and my creativity is at its peak when I act. I love the freedom acting gives me. Acting allows me to take a character and interpret the character the way I see her. I get to experience emotions I would not normally get to explore. I become someone else and escape my life for hours at a time. Nothing else matters to me at that moment because I am not myself. I think and feel like the character because in that moment I am the character. There is nothing more magical than bringing the imaginary to life. The acting community is the most accepting group of people I have ever encountered, and I feel at home in
Every year Austin Peay State University decides to produce two musicals and two straight plays for their theatre season. This year one of the musicals selected was Anything Goes by Cole Porter. Anything Goes concentrates on the story of Hope Harcourt and her family trying to sail from New York to England. With the production being a musical a lot more work was put towards additional skills like voice techniques and choreography, rather than in a straight play where the task is to just memorize your lines and create a connection with your character. The overall performance is based on how well the extra work such as, voice techniques and choreography complement the acting and set pieces.
While many actors live in large metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles or New York, production companies all over the U.S. hire actors on a regular basis. Travel is often necessary, and competition for acting positions is extremely high. Acting can be a tiring career, both physically and emotionally; actors often spend hours at a time at repetitive auditions and rehearsals. Rejection is constant for new actors starting their careers.
This year will mark my second time taking Drama. Last semester I either had the role of an actor or a crew member. This time I’m going to be the assistant director. It’s a whole lot different because an assistant director has more power than an actor because there is more responsibilities involved. Furthermore, yet has to work well with everyone in the cast and crew. Before getting the role of assistant director I knew a friend who had the same role as me last semester and she was always understanding towards everyone, but was determined to finish up things that had to be done. I hope I can play my role as well as her. After knowing what my role was, I’ll be honest, I was nervous but that same friend told me I would do fine because it’s basically
Disability theatre can give multiple opportunities to people with disabilities. It is not just about combating exclusion, but also to increase one’s creativity, making new friends, discover new talents and build one’s confidence and self-esteem. Enhancing such skills will give people with disabilities the opportunity to increase their independence and self-advocacy.
The thing was that I grew up in a small town, so the idea that I would do this as a profession didn 't really enter my awareness at all. It did not seem like a plausible path to take. But I went to the university and got a BFA {Bachelor of Fine Arts} in acting. That was really a conservatory program where you were training to become a professional actor. It was not going to be just a hobby. You took no other classes except for acting classes, and so that 's what I did. And then when I came out, I thought I was going to be a theater actor 'cause that 's what all my training was in. It was just happenstance that an agent saw me perform and wanted to sign me. I was sent out on auditions, and I started getting work in film and TV. I think the style and format of film and TV suits
Most of the time students of that major have to be able to be as thrifty as they can with the degree that they do have. However, in the past few years, multiple people have tried to prove to future students of the careers that they are able to do with their tuition; some of which include: art therapist (art degree), director (film/theater), professional stage manager (film degree), music therapist (music degree), or a choral director (music degree). It is because of this belief that schools have experienced a large decrease in attendance in students as most people believe. The reality is that there has actually been an increase in attendance of students in arts programs in recent years. In fact, according to a study done by the Oxford University, attendance has gone up by twenty percent since 1990. There is much more that one can do with any kind of degree than anyone think of.

Have you ever dreamt of being a actor or actress? Well I have, I started thinking about being in shows and movies at the age 16. My name is Eve Arden I was in many popular movies and shows including a major one “grease” i was born on April 30th 1908 and just south of Los Angeles in mill valleyi went to Tamalpais high school, I left school to go to a stock theatre company which was called "the Henry 's duffys stock company" and played in another movie called “Mildred pierce” speaking of Mildred pierce I won academy award nomination for supporting actress in that movie.

In my career I see myself uniting people through film, being the bridge to a world they do not live in. Having a passion for film, I was only able to study techniques when I went abroad for a semester in Rome because my home university did not have a film production degree. There I was able to take a film industry class with Professor Victor Rambaldi, the son of Carlo Rambaldi, the Special Effect Director on ET: The Extra-Terrestrial. If it were not for him I probably would have not considered graduate film school. His professional guidance allowed me to explore this career path and become confident in my skill set. Attending Chapman University will allow me to hone in the skills I have taught myself along with the knowledge I earned in Rome, but also allow me to learn from experienced professionals to fully craft my love for the silver

To begin my reflection of my of my journey as an English major here at the department I should first say that any work I completed in my freshman and sophomore year will not be included as I do not have access to them. I have chosen to use pieces that were written in my film studies course and Native American Studies. There are four pieces total that will be looked into three of the four will be pieces will be work from my two film studies courses Film Theory and Criticism and Japanese Film Directors, the remaining one piece as stated above will be from Native American Studies.
To be highly involved in the production of a film and/or TV show. I would prefer a higher position of leadership such as being a director. I love the notion of conceptualizing an image, carrying it out and making it a reality. Cinema is something that brings joy to a wide variety of audiences. People form connections and bond over something as simple as being a fan of the same TV show or movie. It 's also an escape from reality in some cases and it would be amazing if I could provide that for people.
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are merely players,” (Shakespeare), meaning the whole world is like a stage show and humans are the actors. The quote proves that life can imitate art even when it’s not recognized, art is everywhere you look, in places you never thought to look. Theater is represented in any imaginable way, so why is it not good enough for a simple required subject in school? Fine arts such as drama, dance, and art programs get cut from high schools due to the expenses that go into them. People say theater is not needed for the future, no help in the “real world”, and it’s not a life skill. However, theater is much more than an elective or an “easy A”, theater is something that will stick with you for the rest of your
