Words to Live By

I am a promise, I am a possibility, I am a promise with a capital "P". I am a great big bundle of potentiality, And I am learning to hear God's voice, and I am trying to make the right choices
I'm a promise to be, anything God wants me to be

The Brand New Me






How do you come up with a look, that when every one sees it they know just what it stands for? how do you ensure that, that look it something new, attractive and never been done before. something that will represent you and what you stand for and at the same time stand out above every one Else's. this is the process of branding something all of us in the performing arts industry need to know a lot about. the ability to sell you talents in hopes of being chosen for the job. Or to make the process even more difficult to take the views values and goal of other members of in to the name or slogan making sure that every one is represented equally and fairly? the process of Branding even the smallest company is not a easy one. To be able to come to a successful everything about your company must be appealing to your consumers, from your name to logo, slogan, right down to the colours you chose to represent your selves. when branding you have to be conscious o fthe fact that everything you do is to impress you consumers. and the bes part of this is that i get to go throught the whole entire experinence for myself.

Don't Worry Be happy


about a week a ago i read and article called "The Vision Thing" the main context of the article focused on acting but there was on part that stuck out to me which can apply to life overall whether or not you're an actor "The only reason we want to be successful and on a series making a lot of money is we think that that's what's going to make us happy We're all striving to be happy. What we lose along the way is the realization that we can all create that happiness" i guess you could call this part of the article my Ah ha moment. for the great part of our lives we as humans are always trying to find that one thing that we think will finally makes us turly happy. but we so easily forget that its on us to make the happiness that we want and that its not necessary to want those worldy possessions to define how happy we can be. what i've realized is that i have to hold on to those little moments that i find myself laughing the hardest and simling the biggest, because those are the moments that truly define what being happy means.

All About Me- My favourtie subject




All my life from as far back as I can remember, I have always had a hand in some form of the arts; whether it was being on a school dance team, to playing the flute in the concert band, and being in more than one choir to drawing for my own personal love, to being an editor for the school yearbook, to my new love of taking part in drama Productions not matter how big or small. The arts in general have always played a big part in my life and have helped to shape me into the person I am today. My deep involvement in the arts was used as a life line many times to take me out of the negative situations that I found myself in.
In the more recent years since I’ve started high school, and began to focus on drama, I have realized that drama has become a rope that constantly pulled me out of the holes I found myself in. Knowing that so much was expected of me not only by teachers but by my peers as well severed as a constant reminder in the back of my head telling me that I had to set an example. Now looking back over the years, I can clearly see that the arts not matter what discipline as easily impacted me in an undoubtedly positive way shaping me in to the well rounded and disciplined young lady I am.

The Essence of an Actor

During one of my drama classes we were asked a question, it simpily stated; "what is the essence of an actor?' Now usually i can come up with some kind of answer to the questions asked in class, but this one had me answer-less. I sat there at my desk pen in hand with a blank page in front of me i could not for the life of me come up with any form of an answer. so i did the typical teenage student thing and googled it. i found count less textbook and dictionary definitions for what the world thought it meant, yet none of these professional interpretations seemed to bee what i wanted, so i asked my friends and family and long story short i came up with nothing, about a week later Iwas watching a movie with my parents and my dad made a comment about one of the actors saying he can't see him playing any other role which reminded me of something that was said in class, which gave me my answer to what the essence of an actor was. my answer it this; the essence of an actor it their ability to blur that line between Actor and Character. its funny to think that after days of questioning people and research I came to such simple interpretation ;)
