A Tuesday Night of Acting #2
Wow! Great acting class yesterday! I learned so much.
My inspiring teacher, Rhonda Musak, taught some great tricks on how to use action as a way to naturally come into character at the top of a scene. I did not know it was possible to get internally connected so quickly! That is great news for me. Depending on the role I am playing at the time, it can be difficult for me to get to places emotionally. Action is that secret trick I never really knew about. Hooray for discovery! I must admit, the work I did in these moments were a little awkward at first. But because I wanted to learn so desperately, I quickly got over any insecurities and got to explore something new and vital to my growth as an actor.
This work was amazing and I know I am not doing it justice by writing about it right now. The best way to experience it? Just take a class with Rhonda Musak. Seriously, her teaching methods are life changing for actors.
It’s funny to me because this is only my second class and I have already learned and grown so much as an actor. I am forever grateful!
Conclusion from Tuesday’s Class
Always be open to new lessons even if they make you feel uncomfortable at first. It is just the egos resistance to something it really needs. The benefits of pushing through is too rewarding to pass up.
