I R Jack. I think those were the first letters I ever spitted out on the Internet. I said them when I at the tender at of 10 wanted to establish my self on a website called club penguin, a multiplayer game for young kids. I was then ridiculed for my terrible grammar and inelegant speech. I think that the interaction I just told you about sums up much of what my life has been. I try and communicate something and because of how I act or talk it either is not conveyed correctly or I'm insulted for my efforts. Sounds a bit narcissistic saying that but it's how I perceive most interactions in my life.
Anyways, I took an interest into acting when I was about 13 and joined a local theater in adolescent production of mid summers night dream. I took the lead role of Oberon. It was terrible. I think they only cast me as Oberon cause I was tall, I honestly didn't know what I was doing in the entire show and since is was Shakespeare I had to work very hard to even understand what I was saying at times. Afterwards I quit the theater and wasn't gonna do any type of production ever again. But then my teachers at the school started an improv club after school. I immediately joined cause this chick I was digging wanted to do it. I never got to date the chick but I did get into improv. It was the most fun I had during my middle school years. I loved every minute of it. I liked it so much I preformed improv with a group of friends for a talent show and got the third prize a long with several people patting me on the back telling me how great I did. I eventually let my mom talk me into going back to that theatre to do a variety show that was mainly improv and skits. That was a fantastic experience and showed me that if I ever wanted to make a career of acting that improv could lead me to success.
I've seen many theatrical shows most of which have been musicals with comedy. I think the best show I've ever seen was once cause the music was very passionate. Like the first time the band plays or when the main character plays by himself blew me away with how much energy and emotion went into the performance. I could never act like that because I often am never invested into what I'm acting as. That is one of my goals in class, to be able to have an emotional range as an actor. So far I've failed this task so I'm trying to do better at it. I also just wanna be a better actor in general.
That was a little about me, and I hope you enjoyed reading it. I certainly had about 2% of fun writing it.
Tanks and ttyl. -Jack
