Sometimes sitting in class feels completely pointless to me. I don’t get the rush of passion burning through my body when I’m reading the steps on logarithms or when I’m researching which vocal folds to open and close for the Irish dialect. Don’t get me wrong, it’s all extremely interesting, but do I live for this? Would I lose sleep over these subjects if they weren’t in my life? No. But the one subject that I took a break from this semester, stupidly and on purpose, I lose more sleep over than you could ever imagine.
Not acting this semester has put me in a funk. I have used other subjects as outlets, fillers almost, just to pass time until I can audition for the next play or get my hands on some type of stage work. When this semester started and auditions rolled around, I didn’t have my monologue prepared, I was frazzled and distracted with an 18 credit hour semester load, and I didn’t think much of taking a semester away from the stage... Until I actually did.
My passion is just to perform. I love to sing, to dance, I love being an on-air personality for WFCF 88.5 and I’m in true love, and possibly lust, with acting. As soon as I get my hands on a script, I indulge myself into that character and figure out exactly what makes them squirm, what makes them tick and what they’re really all about. You see, that’s what it’s all about and that’s what keeps me up night after night.
