My thoughts.

Do you ever feel like maybe... just maybe you're not as good as you'd like to be?

I'm having doubts about my character in Murder on the Nile. I hope to God I can pull this off. I feel like there are so many great actors in this play and maybe I'm not on the same level. :( Eh, I think I'm just having one of those days. I'm sure once we practice more and I'm off book then I'll get a handle on things.

I love this soo much and I just don't ever want to be not good at it. Acting is my true love I just hope it never breaks my heart. hehe

I really do need to work on my movement on stage. It's like I can't think for myself where to go, I have to be told. I'm still such an amateur , I hope one day I'll be able to move onstage without having to be told where to go.

Sorry for this lame ass post. I don't even know why I posted it. Guess maybe cause only fellow actors might know how I feel. :D

I ALWAYS feel that way. No matter how many times I hear compliments, I still think to myself, I really could've done so much better. I spoke with a fellow actor, namely Gary, and he said something really cool to me. He said that a really good actor should never be satisfied with their performance. They should always be striving to do better. That's what makes you good, and you are. And don't worry, it'll come. Once you're off book and you're comfortable with your lines, the movements will feel more natural and you'll settle in. You'll be great, I know it! :)

Jen it is always a problem for all actors to feel at home in a character. The best thing to do in a situation like this is to remember what you would do in the situation. If it feels natural to sit then sit, to pace then pace. The cool thing about developing a character is to remember that it is an ever evolving thing. You will never do the same thing twice if you look at it that way. And just know that you are very very talented and it will come.
