#student directing

I Really Love doing 90% of the work in a seven person production team! My favorite!

Sooo, at my high school I'm not able to audition for our fall play due to time commitments, but the director told me that he would be ecstatic if I would student direct. How could this help me later in the business? ( I want to go into MT!) Thanks!!!!

Oh, it can be really helpful!  I assistant directed a show my senior year of high school because I didn’t get in, and I really learned a lot!  It was very interesting being on the other side of the table, being a part of the process and watching how it all works without really being in the mix in terms of acting.  I learned a lot about the process, and even though I wasn’t personally performing, I think it did benefit me as a performer!  It’s also great to have on your resume for college auditions!

Also, there's a slacker in the class that admitted to being a slacker. He wasn't in class today, then I saw him in the hall after school. Needless to say, I'm not happy, but I'm not going to complain or report him. It's his fault if he fails drama. (Yeah I'm totally teacher material, aren't I?)

A TIP FOR ALL ACTORS/ACTRESSES

No matter how good you think you are, NEVER put on the audition form that you don't want several roles.  One is fine, but put a reason for it.  If you put that you don't want three out of five main roles, thinking you are going to box the directors into making you your desired part, think again.  They will notice what an asshat you're being.  They will consider that into which part you get.  They will think that you're being a little shit and don't deserve anything good.

So, the point is don't be a bitch about which role in a show you're getting.  Don't try to force the directors into something they don't feel is a right choice.  They know what they are doing, don't do their job for them.  You'll get either a shitty role, or one of the roles you didn't want.  And if you try to quit, then chances are they will have no issues with letting you walk right on out.

"One and the Same" is finally finished after several rounds of filming and three rewrites!

Check out my film debut as Lizzy, and go leave appreciative comments on the YouTube page because Becca went through hell and back to make this and it's turned out so wonderful and she deserves to know that <3

I just realized that the 6th grade play, Alice in Wonderland, is next week. 

My reaction:

"We're screwed."
