Acting Compassion

When I was younger I was planning to be a scientist or a magician when i grow up. Then I noticed my cousin had gotten a job as an Actor. He wasn't a big actor yet just doing a few commercials and other things which didn't really interest me, Until he got a small roll in a real movie called Four Brothers. It was really cool seeing him on tv and he had gotten paid a lot of money for that job. At first it was the amount of money that he made which made me want to start acting but I've now realized that was not good motivation to do acting.

Now I act because it's in my soul and my heart to become an Actor for life. At the moment I'm still learning about acting and how to make yourself the character you're portraying. You have to live the life of the character and forget the ways of yourself and just go beyond the limits. I'm hoping I can get back on the casting website so I would get more calls to be on tv soon, but unfortunately I have to spend the money i would use to get on the site to go on an important school trip so I have to wait another whole month.

What I was trying to say with this post is that my motivation for Acting has changed over the years and to me its no longer motivations more like
An Acting Compassion

Living in the Moment

  To live in the moment
  I don't know how people show it
For me its my Acting and how to hone it
With my mentors and the advice they lone for it
I learn it all bit by bit
Myself always concentrated while i sit
Thinking of how to improve it
And although i havn't had the lightbulb lit
Soon i will find exactly where i fit!

The Branding Competition

In my favourite class called Acting for TV and Film we did a huge project called Branding.  Branding is when you build your class into a professional production company. TWO groups come up with a name logo, mission and vision statement in efforts to brand the class. In the end we pitch both ideas to a panel of professionals who than chose who the winner is by marking us on our presentation, print work and media component.

Now before I go into the results I'll say what it took to get it done. Now first your group had to come up with a good name, good colors to wear and talk about your budget. Once you had that done you had to figure out your mission and vision statements what you would wear, what food to serve, what music to play through it, and what would happen during intermission. There was a ton of other things that had to be done like business cards, websites, videos, moderators and more but it's to much to list.

Now both groups did a fine job in presenting both of there groups but unfortuantely we could only have one group win. The calculations were put together and sadly for my group Enigma Productions we had lost by a large margin boooooo. But then something happened my teacher and grade 12 helpers had noticed a huge error in the markings from both groups. With this change in the scores it became a close call between our groups with only a 1 point ahead avreage. If you added the lowest score to the markings Enigma would win but with out it Prolific would win. I thought we were about to win but they had chosen to take out the lowest score and we had lost. I was ok with their decision because it was a fun experience especially getting to know half of my class. Now our class is called PROLIFIC PRODUCTIONS!

Thinking of The Future

Hey Nathan here! This is the start of my blog for Acting and hopefully people will see it. For my first blog post I wanted to talk about what I was going to do for my future but first I'll introduce my self. My name is Nathan Taylor, I attend Fletchers Meadow Secondary School, I'm in grade 10 age 14 birthday December 17th. If there's anything else you want to know about me then just ask. Now I know I'm young but I've already taken an interest in Acting early and I wish I had taken an interest earlier because it's always better to start off young. I may not be the best actor out there right now but I want to continue until I'm remembered as one of the greats of acting. I mainly want to be a film and TV actor not really stage or theater acting, and if I can't, then I at least want to do voices for cartoon shows because I like to utilize my other voices in a good way. Acting is my favorite thing to do but I also like cooking and sometimes singing but I'm not the best at it but it's always good to try. I've currently done Acting in TV commercials,1 music video and the Vacation with Derek movie mostly as background but I'm hoping to get a bigger role in the future. I find my self as a comedic person because I'm still in touch with my inner child so I can be very silly and bring smiles to any of my friends. Even though I like to do comedy i think I would be able to do a serious or dramatic role because I play it off just as well. This is a blog post by Nathan Taylor...Actor, Singer, Lovable guy. Please leave a response to this post but don't criticize to much I just started. Thank you and have a wonderful day :)
