During this first week at the Brit School, I've noticed that all of my Strand classmates all have their own stronger and weaker skills, everyone is different. But we're not talking about them, this blog is about me!
I find it quite hard to point out my strong points in acting, seeing as I haven't had a lot of classes or practise in the subject of theatre. I feel like I'm a rookie (but the Brit School will change that!)
Okay, so on to the positives. I think that I am a pretty decent group leader. I make sure that everyone in my group has at least one line and that they always have a role to play. I don't deal with slackers and I get down to business and take every task and project seriously. I try to achieve the highest grade I can in every exam or even practise. In terms of skills I know that I can easily adapt to any character that is given to me to play. I can quickly analyse the character and find out their traits by looking at a few of their lines. This helps me to adapt the way I use body movement, hand gestures, facial expressions and sometimes my voice (although my accents are quite rusty!) Finally, I think that my improvisation is good. I did a lot of it in my old school so I know a few tricks about how to get the hang of it.
There are a few acting skills that I do need work on. One of these skills is my spacial awareness. I know that when I am in the middle of a role, I tend to stay in the same spot, or just walk up and down (this habit is because I have done a lot of monologues in my time!) I'm going to need to learn to move around the set to suit the scene that is playing and what my character is saying and feeling. For example, I could move to a chair and sit if my character is feeling fed up or sad.
I think I have covered everything for now, I can always add to this because of the trusty old 'edit' button!
