Who is this guy?!?

I am a student teacher from Willamette University. During the Spring Semester, I will be teaching three classes at McKay: American Literature (6th), English Skills Review (7th) and Fundamentals of Acting (3rd). If you need to get in touch with me on campus, I will be either in Room 227, 228 or the auditorium. Most of my time outside of class will be spent in Room 227. Here's to a great semester!

What's next!

So, we've officially made it through two weeks of classes and I'm pleased to say that we are all making good progress!

This last week, we discussed some basics of voice. The concepts that we talked about and the theorists that I introduced have entire courses of study dedicated to their contributions to theater. We are just touching on the basics.

We are going to continue to work on voice coming up as well as continue to work on the Dr. Seuss projects, and we are going to continue to work on the voice as well! Next week we are going to look at emphasis and learn more about diction: essential skills for the actor.

This weekend, I hope you all enjoy the three days off! This is your reminder of the HOMEWORK for the weekend! *gasp*

Due on Wednesday: One page writing about your observations of two different people talking.
  • Let me know what they're doing when they speak
  • What qualities do their voices take on?
  • How do they behave when they are speaking with different emotions?
The world is your greatest source inspiration as an actor, begin observing and recording!
