final preformance

I was unsure of how good of an actor I was, I didn't know if I was very bad or very good. There was a lot of things I had to work on like my reactions, hand movements, and facial expressions. I found myself focusing on the little things like when I’m saying this line should I be angry or when I’m saying that line so I be more relaxed but then I realize I need to just go with the flow and not be a robot. There's countless details that you have to pay attention to, example props. When Tom knocks over the glass menagerie, it's supposed to fall off the table but it didn't fall off the table, it just fell over on the table. That little detail changed the play because Laura is supposed to be on the floor over her glass now she has to get it off the table and act like it fell when it didn't and that made it look kinda fake . One rule I follow was to try and put myself in the character's shoes. This how I began to improve as an actor, and was able to understand my character better. This was a learning experience for me. Overall I think my group could've done better. When we presented our scene from “The Glass Menagerie”. We didn't do so well. I remembered all my lines and practiced over and over again before the final performance I got through them perfectly and was ready to go . Then it was time for the real deal we messed up.  Acting is not as easy how people make it look on movies and films. It's a lot of hard work and practicing. My partner told me he was nervous before our performance. I wasn't, maybe because I was performing in front of my classmates and I know all of them and I've been acting in front of them since the beginning of the year. I got all my nerves out. But I understand where he was coming from and couldn't be upset because everyone is not the same and for some people it's not easy to get up in front of your pairs and perform but he had forgot some of his lines. So then he made a mistake and said the wrong thing, which screwed me up. So then we was sitting there for a long period of awkward silence I didn't know how to respond to what he said and he didn't correct himself. Not all the blame is on him though, actors should know when someone messes up they should recover so the audience doesn't think anything is wrong because they don't have the script they don't know what's supposed to be send and what's not.
