An actor or actress is a person who portrays a character in a performance. An actor can perform in events like films and tv shows. To be a actor is not easy there's lot of preparation and dedication it's not for everyone or everyone would be one. Recently my classmates and I had to pick some great actors, director, and people that were looked up upon by the acting community. I chosen to talk about Lee Strasberg and his acting method which was that he wanted to encourages actors to “magnify” and “intensify” their connection to the material by creating their characters' emotional experiences in their own lives. He said that this method acting is what all actors have done when they have acted well. I learned many techniques about acting that I can use for my first class scene, I am very excited to be doing this. I am stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things. There's certain techniques that stood out to me. One that was very interesting was a technique that i had learn from my classmate that I should put myself in the character's shoes and try to actually physically be that person and use past events to help with my emotions like if the character is sad, I can imagine something that happen to me that was sad, this can probably even make the actor cry if they like think of a death of a loved one. Or if they want to be happy and energetic they could imagine a party they went to and they had fun there. This technique would make me purseway the character well. Another one I found interesting was that I saw that I should also put my own twist on the character and make it my description to make it more real like. All of my classmates presentation were good. I learned a lot about acting and it's leaders/creators, I never thought that acting was so complex.  Before I thought that people just went up and speak. I didn't know that there was practices, warmups, and exercises, but not it's good that I know so I can use them in my presentation. I really want to rehearse in front of a audience though just to get my nerves out and get used to a crowd. That also would be good so when it actually becomes time for the final I would already be used to seeing people and I won't get nervous and start to mess up.
